Fan Makes GTA VI in Fortnite
Rockstar is dragging its feet. The hype is reaching a fever pitch. But one incredibly talented fan could wait no longer. So what did they do? They made their own GTA VI in Fortnite.
Fortnite Creative Becomes Los Santos (Again!)
Step aside Brux, some serious gamer with some dedication emerged. With Fortnite's powerful creative mode, Brux painstakingly reconstructed the locations of Los Santos in GTA V. Look at the video and you will see immediately recognizable locations, but with a tidy Fortnite twist. It is not all pretty scenery though.
This is not a map. It has gameplay. Brux has added car theft mechanics (a GTA mainstay), insane police chases, and even those infamous GTA wanted levels that multiply the anarchy. It is truly impressive work, all built entirely within Fortnite.
Lucy in Fortnite? GTA VI Inspiration is Clear
For their protagonist in their Fortnite GTA world, Brux took cues from Lucy, one of the leaked GTA VI protagonists. Remember those leaks and the trailer? Well, it appears, way down in the game files, there was even a "Lucy" set listed with shorts. Brux used that, making their in-Fortnite design look extremely GTA VI-like.
Nine Months in the Making – Dedication Pays Off
Making this was not a weekend endeavor. Brux allegedly spent an astonishing nine months crafting their Fortnite GTA VI. That is some serious commitment to make this dream a reality. Will other Fortnite gamers be able to enjoy Brux's work? That remains to be seen. Brux has not indicated whether they will release it publicly within Fortnite.
Uh Oh, Take-Two May Not Be Pleased
There is a small caveat however. Take-Two, Rockstar's parent company, is not particularly renowned for being cool with fan-made GTA stuff. They have had a tendency to go after high-profile fan projects in the past. So wonderful as Brux's creations are, then, there is a chance that Take-Two will come calling. Let us hope they consider it the great fan tribute it is.
Whether or not you will be fortunate enough to give this Fortnite GTA VI a try yourself, you must admire the work and imagination here. It is a testament to how eager people are for real GTA VI, and how imaginatively the gaming population can come up with things.
