Epic Games is one of the biggest success stories in the last decade of gaming. While always notable for the Unreal Engine, Fortnite has occupied a dominant role in the gaming sphere for years now. The Battle Royale game boasts of being the first metaverse, and it just added a fully functional game builder to its platform in the form of URFN. Even Epic is not immune to the economic conditions, though, as a recent report has made clear.
These significant projects include the Unreal Editor for Fortnite, the Lego metaverse collaboration, Fortnite Chapter 5, Hemronix Festival, and Rocket League Racing.
Update with statement from Epic Games – “We’re not laying anyone off. We have ambitious plans to invest through the downturn and these cost control measures reinforce our plans.”
