The Increasing Popularity of Fortnite
Fortnite remaining one of mainstream media’s favorites is partly due to the slew of licensed content from other franchises that make it enjoyable and involving for both players and content creators.
Fortnite has seen high-profile partnerships with the likes of DC, Marvel, Dragon Ball and Naruto to bring characters such as Batman, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Goku and Sasuke into the mix.
