Fortnite is the new buzz around the Northwood campus. The students at Northwood are all talking about Fortnite and the new season that just came back.
Fortnite is a player vs. player game that was released in 2018 and has been a mainstream video game for some time now. But as the game got older the people who played the video game got less interested. The game evolved a lot since 2018 and has had 25 seasons in its six years. The players always wanted the feeling of the old Fortnite, so the owners brought back the old map after 5 years without it.
“I missed the old Fortnite I still played it, but I did not enjoy it as much as I do now. Since the new season came out, I am on my PlayStation playing Fortnite after study hall,” said Hamish Riddell ‘26.
The season has brought nostalgia for middle school for many people who have not played the game for a while. “The game has become fun now. I am playing a lot with my friends back home,” Jace Donowa ’25 said. “My friends back in Portugal started playing again. It is fun playing with them because we all stopped playing.” Fortnite has brought many people back to the game by reminding them of the “old days,” back to a simpler time when many of them were still in middle school.
