Fortnite: Batman Begins, Inception & The Prestige set to screen in Party Royale

For quite some time now, Fortnite has been pushing itself beyond to be more than just a 'Battle Royale' title. Epic Games' intentions gained credence when they introduced their 'battle' free game mode titled 'Party Royale' into the game a few months ago.

Since its introduction, Party Royale has been a violence-free zone, where players can hang out with one another, and indulge in activities that don't involve fighting one another.

On multiple occasions, Party Royale has also been Epic's goto mode for hosting concerts, film screenings, and other in-game gatherings.

Earlier today on twitter, Fortnite announced yet another film screening coming to the game on the 26th of June 2020.

Players have been told to gear up for three different movies, namely - Batman Begins, Inception and The Prestige, all directed by Christopher Nolan.
