One of the most popular gaming franchises in the world is headed to Goshen, New York.

Parents of tweens and teens are more than familiar with Fortnite, the free-to-play battle royale game that began taking the world by storm in 2017. The multi-player game allows fans to build barriers and hunt down enemies in an attempt to be the last one standing. Other, creative and social modes take away the competition aspect of the game and let kids build incredible worlds in a digital sandbox where their imagination can run wild.

Soon, your gamer will be able to build their creations in real life, and it won't cost any additional V-Bucks.
