Fortnite isn’t just about building forts and busting dance moves, it also has a nearly forgotten gem hidden within its expansive universe, the ‘Save the World’ game mode. Recently, a discussion was sparked by ‘AzureTheProto’ wondering about the fate of this game mode.
Summary
- Save the World remains ignored yet loved by a dedicated player base.
- Players are thinking about potential strategies Epic games might employ to monetize the mode better.
- Despite despondency, players remain hopeful for meaningful updates.
Monetization: The Holy Grail
One commenter, ‘DartBoardGamer’, raises a methodologically profound strategy: “monetize skins” solely existing in the collection book to be used in Battle Royale, leveraging the v-bucks currency. A novel idea, encouraging players to purchase STW access and potentially trigger a sales increase.
Reality Check: Hope or Despair?
While optimism exists, ‘the_doorstopper’ voices the harsh reality albeit succinctly. He doesn’t foresee Epic making a return to Save the World. Direct quote: “There’s no reason for them to come back.” This bare-bones perspective slaps hard on the face of hopefuls.
Zephyr: The Faint Gust of Hope
A faint gust of hope still remains. ‘Wal_Elefant’ cites that the active player base keeping Save the World ticking, owing to the richness of features the game offers. They foresee small updates, maybe weapons or heroes, but they don’t expect any high-scale intervention by Epic unless it is externalized as paid DLC.
Despite the mixed sentiments, the sense of community that brings players together still thrives. Perhaps this embedded love might be the saving grace for the overlooked game mode. Only time can tell if Epic decides to tend to their original game mode or let it slowly fade away, leaving a generation of players nostalgic of the times when they were saving the world instead of surviving it.
