The gaming company also announced a partnership with toy giant Hasbro this week that while give the world the Fortnite-branded Monopoly game along with Nerf Blasters. So, not only will you be able to play a wholesome game of Battle Royale with the family after dinner, but kids will be running around in the real world, blasting each other with Nerf guns to search for hidden challenges! It’s going to be great.

There are plenty of version of Monopoly to go around, including Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Pokemon and all kinds of different levels of the original. And this is not the first non-gaming Fortnite merchandise, as Epic already partnered with a costume company for Fortnite Halloween costumes.
