Fortnite actually comes from 'fortnight' meaning two weeks, but it's also a blend of 'fort' (building defenses) and 'night' (survival under threat). Clever, right?
Fortnite is just a cool name for an even cooler game. It's got nothing to do with two weeks, folks!
As a veteran player, I can tell you it鈥檚 a mash-up of 'fort' and 'night,' reflecting the game鈥檚 heavy focus on building forts and battling until dawn!
