Everything New In Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini-Season

Everything New In Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini-Season https://ift.tt/DE4Ve8R One Piece is taking over Fortnite for the next five weeks as part of the game's now-annual November mini-season, which swaps out the current Battle Royale island for a smaller new pirate-themed one. Dubbed Fortnite Treasure Hunters, the new season is now live and will also focus heavily on music collabs with A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto--Epic isn't putting all its eggs in one cartoon basket like it did last year with its Simpsons season.

Layden sees what happened to other entertainment spaces, like music and TV, as cautionary tales. The music industry was permanently altered by iTunes, for example. Netflix aided in destroying home video rental and changed consumers' relationship to the cinema. He is hopeful that gaming will disrupt itself, rather than being changed by outside forces. He said, "Where it doesn’t take a Google or an Amazon to completely flip the table. We should be smart enough to see these changes coming and prepare ourselves for that eventuality."
