Epic Games is finally opening up about Fortnite. Take a peek and sign up!

"Do you enjoy smashing and breaking things with blunt objects?
What about building a towering fort surrounded by death traps for your enemies?
Maybe you like taking a more direct approach and simply shoot monsters in the face.
If any of these apply to you, we think you should sign up for a chance to play in the Alpha."

What is Fortnite? Well, we don't know much – it seems like "tower defense + scavenging" is the extent of our knowledge. It's a title from Epic Games, the same people behind Gears of War...wait, what? That's quite a change! This ought to be very interesting.

Starting today, you can apply to play the Alpha. It only takes a few minutes to churn through the quick survey. To learn more before applying, check out the first trailer, Game Informer's May cover story (coming soon), or the brand new 1:27 trailer below:
