New Custom Fortnite Game Mode is Just Like Dead by Daylight

A custom-made Fortnite mode brings Dead by Daylight's asymmetrical gameplay to Epic Games' popular title. The upcoming Fortnite mode takes clear inspiration from DbD.

Through the years, Fortnite has featured a variety of modes. From its Battle Royale to the more recent Fortnite Festival and LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite has become many games in one.

There may not currently be a release window, but Lemorion did share some footage of what the gameplay and mechanics look like so far. The short 15-second clip shows a player trying to evade the custom mode's version of Dead by Daylight's Killer.

Since the mode launched back in 2018, Fortnite Creative has continued to evolve, and it's provided many players with a great outlet to express their creativity. Lemorion's Dead by Daylight-inspired mode is a great example of
