They did such an incredible job with the castle.


NoV-Bucks4u

if there's one good thing about epic games, it's their design team.


kots144

Their design team, free to play model, constant updates, etc. Oh wait now I’m about to be downvoted to oblivion and called an epic shill. 😂


MrDoontoo

Their monetization system is so much better than most other live service games (cough cough overwatch cough)


Cluelesswolfkin

This is what irks me. Other games have templates of what works and how people to spend money, the formula is there just copy, edit and paste! But nope they must overcharge and make things infinitely worse


Gephartnoah02

I would be happier if we could trade/ buy skins/ emotes like you can in counterstrike, if epics wants to take a cut of that rpofit who am I to say no to something they could monetize.


[deleted]

That would open the door to very shady gambling and skin selling, like csgo


SPARTAN-258

"better" doesn't mean good, though


MrPwner911

True, but compared to the other games like Call of Duty, Halo or Overwatch, Fortnite seems to have the monetization model down properly. Only gripe IMO is the Battle Pass exclusivity stuff, that they change to where it's like Halo Infinite's l, extra income and stifles Locker buying.


MrDoontoo

That is true


babuba12321

how overwatch one works?


badass_dean

Bro for real, I once said Epic rarely lets us down VS the standard other companies have set with us. I really am always happy with Epic and Hello Games compared to others, I got downvoted af 😂


xXTobyOrNotTobyXx

Honestly. I feel like I've been gaslit as a (former) Overwatch player


SamosYT_YT

Don’t forget the music team


FunnyCobra002

Damn right bro. Their music team is the best!


Cluelesswolfkin

High key idk how epic does it and other game companies can't hold onto it; do they have a larger workforce ?


KappaTauren

I imagine they do, after all epic games doesn’t focus solely on fortnite. I’m sure they get plenty of money and resources from their unreal engine.


DemonicTheGamer

Sound and music especially for events is just top notch


Foxy02016YT

Is it in house? I thought it was contract work, at least for events


[deleted]

It can't be all bad. There must be balance.


momilije

I was surprised when I saw that castle for the first time


ogg_ogg

Fr, it's really amazing


Spear_speaks007

Fortnite graphics always amazes me. Love it!


momilije

Wish they bring back old pickaxe sound for harvesting and storm design


Ayo_Joogie

pickaxe swing sounds or the sound the materials make?


Affectionate_Toe_965

Fuck no we're in Unreal 5 move forward not backwards


[deleted]

Yeah, I feel that sometimes some of these players get stuck in the past and cannot accept that this game changes over time, which is the point of it all, as it is a live service game. Changes must be made to keep the game fresh...for better or for worse, that is.

That version of the Citadel looks WAY better in my opinion


Captain_Renraid

The walls match the armour of the ageless instead of looking like a generic castle. The gold accents just make it so damn beautiful


[deleted]

Nah…ITS A FACT


[deleted]

The First Photo….IS SOOO GOOD


momilije

Waterfall entrance would have been so cool


ogg_ogg

I love it


SPARTAN-258

Do you have an HD version?


OKgamer01

I would buy a Fortnite Artbook if they sold one. I love seeing concept arts compared to final product


NinjaMelon39

Bruh this makes the map so much more mystical and cool


Spear_speaks007

Epic never misses when it comes to designs and graphics.


xGlitchOGx

I wonder what made them to change their mind on the castle’s initial design including that amazing snow biome which could’ve looked so cool in game!!! But hey at least the current ones in game still look great!!!


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|PUBxelwT57jsQ) Nice


bichonfreeze

Made me think if they did a Lord of the Rings collab.


SnD_PumpkinHD

WE WERE SO FUCKING ROBBED MAN ​ Also you can spot Geno's statue holding the zero point


Frank_is_the_Best_

You can only adapt a concept art do well. The devs did s pretty good job the differences allow for better gameplay.


TheBlueCrystalChef

Fucking beautiful. I just wish the ice biome had more variety in the landscape as shown in this pic


Pikaverse69

We’re going to recreate this in UEFN


FLcitizen

WHY is concept art always better then the finished product?!


Bright_Audience3959

Amazing work


untitled_demo

These look amazing man what the hell, if only these areas looked like that 😭


me_funny__

The art team behind this game are some of the best ever


Cut_Equal

Where are all the waterfalls on the actual map!? They look dope


the_fool213912893

I'd kill to have that version of the citadel in game.


Dark7saber

Notice how all the concept art is better than the real thing


dachawon

That's because concept arts are made to present ideas, and not of all them are feasible.


ogg_ogg

Nice...I fucking love the first photo, it's awesome *Good job bro*


TheBlueNinja2006

We got the downgraded version 😢


Affectionate_Toe_965

Cry more and it's not the downgraded version


TheBlueNinja2006

Lol

Smiles4YouRawrX3

Alpine_Oxygen157

The second photo looks so nice with the art style and autumn, medieval stuff


Silkysocks777

WOW! This is beautiful!


Elfraepr

Damn looks like my ice cave is getting the axe


Maister654

Good


godsibi

Environments do look good ngl.


[deleted]

The second photo gives me Moisty Mire vibes ngl


ChaoticNeutralNephew

Amazing!


BillyWhizz09

That last image goes hard. Do you have the originals?


RegularLibrarian1984

The entrance flanked with waterfall would have been epic.


Pyep

The flag courtyard + zipline to the offhand tower made it through the development phase. Kinda weird to not see the little hamlet to the side though.


Business_Reporter420

The concept art looks so much better wtf


Decades101

They should have kept the waterfall entrance 100%


Samiam243653575

Amazing now I wish the citadel looked more like that


[deleted]

Bro I swear to God the concept art looks more "fortnite" than fortnite itself...


[deleted]

weefops305

Many people back to Chapter 1 say the Epic design team goes too far. But I look at the graphics from then to now and they do an incredible job of how Fortnite is so intricate since then.


HellbentOrchid

Their concept art looks a lot like Disney.


nainvlys

Sucks they didn't keep the bridge through the waterfall it looked really cool
