Hey folks - so I have a pretty wild update… I’ve been asked to step up to lead Fortnite Battle Royale. It’s been a truly incredible first 5 months at Epic; the creative freedom is liberating and the team is outstanding. I have much still to learn, but I’m excited for this new role and grateful to leadership for their trust, and what we can all create on this journey together. I struggle to think of a bigger honour to have as I enter my 23rd (!!!) year of making video games and how fortunate I’ve been, and the great people I’ve worked with and learned from along the way. I hope 9 year old me who had just played Super Mario World for the first time and then spent the next decade drawing video games in art class would feel pretty chuffed, as much as I may feel like I’m still just getting started. Or as my dad said when I told him the news, “crack on then” 😅

I didn’t expect to see so much love on the timeline for the end of Caldera from this tweet, but the team cooked. Definitely shows what’s possible, and i too remain proud of the MWIII chapter. The team made the game feel alive every week and for that I’ll always be grateful to them.

@JustTeddii Please cut back on the collabs and crossovers. Fortnite got popular because it was its own thing, please bring back a sense of originality. That doesn't necessarily mean that you need to bring back The Seven or the Imagined Order, just please make Fortnite a 1 of 1 again.
