Summary
Fortnitehas launched an in-game comedy club known as JokeNite that features four comedians and is produced by Trevor Noah. JokeNite is Epic’s latest effort to expand the popularFortniteuniverse even further.
In December of 2023,FortnitelaunchedLEGO Fortnite, a new game that can be played from within theFortnitelauncher. The ambitious expansion proved to be quite popular following its initial release, peaking at over 2.4 million players. However, since then,LEGO Fortnite’s player base has somewhat dwindled, with its February player peak coming in at 121,000 users at the time of writing. While that number is certainly nothing to sneeze at, it’s not clear whetherLEGO Fortnitehas fully lived up to Epic’s hopes. Regardless, Epic seems intent on implementing more ways forFortnitefans to enjoy its engine, and it just released its latest addition.
Fortnitelaunched its JokeNite comedy club, also known as The Cheese Cannery, where players can watch short comedy sets from comedians Matthew Broussard, Marcia Belsky, Scott Seiss, and Preacher Lawson. To find the JokeNite comedy club,Fortnitefans can head to the Epic’s Picks row under the Discovery tab on the game’s main menu screen, or they can enter JokeNite’s island code, which is6296-7829-6524. At the beginning of the show, players can vote on which comedian they would like to see perform. If no votes are cast, the Mega Medley will automatically play, which is a combination of every comedian’s set. Fans can also try out JokeNite’s TV mode, which will recreate the look of a stand-up special’s production.Fortnite’s JokeNite comedy club is available now and will remain in the game for an unspecified amount of time.
Trailer for Fortnite’s JokeNite Comedy Club
Each comedian is represented in-game by a previously releasedFortniteskin, so it doesn’t appear that the comedians or Trevor Noah will be receiving their own skins. To keep JokeNite fresh in the future, it seems possible thatFortnitecould eventually rotate the current comedians with new ones. However, this is just speculation. JokeNite isn’t the only new expansionFortnitehas been working on, asEpic recently announced a massive project in partnership with Disney.
The two companies confirmed that they are working on a project that will be incorporated into theFortniteuniverse. The new world will be centered around content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel,Star Wars, and more. Disney also invested $1.5 billion into Epic, likely making this partnership much more substantial thanFortnite’s work with LEGO.
Rumors also indicate thatFortnitecould be crossing over with thePower Rangersin the future. This will likely be a more traditional crossover event and not nearly as major asFortnite’s collaborations with Disney or LEGO.
