It should be no surprise that with Fortnite being as big as it is it seems to be the most ‘leaked-about’ games currently doing the rounds. Barely a week goes by without data miners fishing around in the code to tell everybody what skins and events are coming next.
The game, which has recently seen some players fall into V-Bucks debt continues to be one of the most popular games on the planet and leaks are now seen as par for the course.
Today’s Fortnite roadmap leak seems a little more than that however as potentially the game’s roadmap for the rest of 2024 has surfaced on the internet and highlights a number of things coming to the Battle Royale that are new news to most.
A post on Reddit shared an image that seems to be a screen grab from a screen showing a graphical calendar of what is upcoming.
It seems like a lot of effort to go to if it is made up, and obviously, there is no saying a) it is true or b) how old it is and whether things have changed or been cut but it does pull out a few interesting things, especially around Lego Fortnite and Fortnite Festival which would look to be getting some big things incoming.
Some of the general things that the fans are saying on Reddit range between people convinced the leak is real and others instantly dismissing it as fake. This is par for the course with Fortnite leaks but the fact this has not come from an established game leaker means treat it with caution.
We may get to see who the Fortnite Festival Headliners are this week so that could confirm this leak pretty quickly.
As ever with internet clout chasers posting this kind of information, assume it is false basically until it is not!
Some of the things the image suggests are still to come this year are:

Star Destroyer in LEGO Fortnite
Fortnite Festival with Billie Eilish, Metallica, and Snoop Dogg
Mad Max theme and Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration
Season with Doctor Doom thumbnail
Chapter 6

The post Fortnite leak – has Epic’s Battle Royale’s roadmap for 2024 been uncovered? appeared first on ReadWrite.

The Fallout video game franchise is enjoying a massive boom in sales thanks to the new (and popular) Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime, which has made Fallout 4 the number-one game in Europe.
Data from GamesIndustry.biz found the 2015 open-world RPG set in the post-apocalyptic Fallout universe has taken the top spot in the European game sales chart with a whopping 7,500% increase in sales week-on-week.
The surge in sales is not just down to the TV show, although that’s the main driving force, but also significant discounts on Fallout games across all platforms in a coordinated marketing push from developers Bethesda. No fewer than four Fallout games are taking up the top spots in Europe’s Top 10.

Fallout 4 topping Europe chart
Fallout 4 leads the pack, with 69% of its sales coming on PC and the remaining split between PlayStation and Xbox. It’s important to note that the data does not account for gameplay through subscription services like Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus Extra, and Amazon’s own Luna platform where the game is freely available.
At #8 is the often-maligned online multiplayer Fallout 76, which saw 85% of its sales on PC. The classic Fallout: New Vegas from 2010 is at #9, followed immediately by its predecessor Fallout 3.

Industry analysts expect the Fallout revival to continue in the coming weeks as viewers remain captivated by the TV adaptation. The surge in game sales showcases the immense promotional power of hit shows based on beloved gaming franchises similar to the effect seen for the Witcher games when Netflix released its first series based on the fantasy franchise and The Last Of Us which proved a hit for HBO.
Will there be a second season of the Fallout TV show?
The interest in the Fallout franchise is set to remain, the show has already been renewed for a second season. On Thursday evening (Apr. 18) the official fallout account posted on X:

No release has yet been given.
Phil Spencer, head of Xbox Gaming, said of the news: “Congrats to everyone involved—we’re thrilled to welcome so many newcomers to the world of Fallout. From the highly rated show now getting its second season, to our deep lineup of Fallout games across consoles, PC, and mobile, thank you all for joining us in the wasteland.”
