Epic's New Franchise, Fortnite, Looks to be Very Co-Op, Very Different

Last night at the VGA Award, Epic Game's Cliff Bleszinski revealed a trailer for their new game called Fortnite.  From the trailer we see a group of folks working together to gather supplies and then use those supplies to fortify a base during the day.  As night quickly approaches so do the strange creatures which the survivors must defend their base from.  It's a bit like a tower defense game and a bit like Minecraft.

Perhaps the most unique thing about the trailer is it shows off a radical departure from other Epic titles in terms of style - both artistically and thematically.  I'm sure we'll be seeing more of the title in 2012, but for now, we're left with just this teaser trailer and a small blurb in a Forbes.com article.
