Game archivist MrTalida has uncovered the Fortnite spin-off game, which was canceled in 2014. Significant similarities to the defunct Battle Breakers in 2014 have been confirmed.
In the latest round of secret industry documents coming to light, a game archivist wrote in 2014 canceled Fortnite spin-off gameHe revealed this. The project was named “Fortnite World Explorers” by its developer Epic Games and was canceled after a short time. Epic Games integrated this game into the mobile game Battle Breakers, which was closed in 2017.
Game archivist MrTalida shared his latest discoveries with images and details in an X (formerly Twitter) post. According to the source, Fortnite World Explorers featured a tile-based combat system. It also featured an expensive open world map and countless different missions. Besides all this, it included plenty of heroes and monsters for players to collect. The game featured a house-based mechanic that allowed the player to build a squad of heroes and slowly improve their control over the map.
Fortnite World Explorers Has Been Replaced by Endless World
Continuing the thread, MrTalida expressed his assumptions that Fortnite World Explorers was later turned into a JRPG fantasy called “Endless World”. Then another X/Twitter account Fortnite STW News joined the chat. He suggested that Endless Worlds would undergo a further transformation, eventually becoming the now-shuttered Battle Breakers (a mobile game that shut down in 2017).
Immediately following this information, a different X/Twitter user, TR_Pox1016, compared the sound libraries of the scrapped 2014 game and the now-defunct Battle Breakers, confirming that there was a significant similarity. Summarizing the information gathered, MrTalida claimed that Battle Breakers is really the canceled Fortnite World Explorers.
Battle Breakers was a science fiction adventure role-playing game released by Epic Games for iOS, Android, and Microsoft Windows in 2019. This game did not open to ideal reception, receiving a Metacritic score of 2.2. Due to negative reception and lack of participation, Epic Games officially discontinued the game on December 30, 2022.
