Fortnite adds the official Guess Who experience


In this Fortnite edition a guess whoplayers must ask questions to narrow down who their opponent can be. In this iteration, players do not need voices and microphones to communicate, as the aspect of asking questions has been introduced as a prompt-based feature. This version of the title includes various categories such as animals, Nerf products, miscellaneous Fortnite items, Furby and more, allowing players to still have fun with the activity by keeping it challenging, which can prevent the game from becoming stale.

Look North World aims to continue this trend of publishing polished, officially sponsored titles that “combine nostalgia with modern gameplay” and has already done so by adding Connect four and Key to the video game, but there's a wide range of possibilities for even more soon enough.

Look North World seems determined to move forward in the UGC game market with reliable hits like these.
