With Epic Games beginning registration for the mobile version of its PC and console game Fortnite: Battle Royale, a new trailer shows what to expect – and a Chinese gaming giant announces a direct competitor, FortCraft.

Released in September 2017 as a cartoon caricature spin on the battle royale genre – and its most notable proponent, the realistic-looking PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds – Epic Games – offered a similar experience with a few key twists.

It took the last person standing ethos of a battle royale game and to it added the ability to build temporary, destructible fortifications in a jiffy.

In addition, where "PUBG" was becoming a PC sensation with its US$29 (RM113) price tag, Fortnite was offering itself for free on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Epic, also the studio behind an industry standard game creation suite called the Unreal Engine, is now bringing its Fortnite experience to Android and iOS, and promising mobile players that they will be able to play with the rest of the game's community on computer and console should they so choose.
