Job Listing Points to Fortnite Coming to the Nintendo Switch
By Nicholas Barth ·
A job listing by Iron Galaxy, the developer who brought The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to the Nintendo Switch, pointed to the studio looking for someone to help with bringing Fortnite to the Nintendo Switch.
There has been plenty of rumors and speculation regarding Fortnite Battle Royale possibly coming to the Nintendo Switch console, as Fortnite's introduction on mobile devices lead to the community wanting the popular battle royale title to make its way to the popular mobile console of the Nintendo Switch. There has been no concrete information up to this point pointing to Fortnite being ported for the Nintendo Switch, until now.
According to a report by Gamereactor, Iron Galaxy, the developer who was responsible for bringing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to the Nintendo Switch, posted a job listing for a Director of Game Design that looked to have confirmed the rumors of Fortnite being ported to Nintendo's hybrid console, as one paragraph specifically mentioned working on a Fortnite port for the Nintendo Switch.
With Fortnite's massive success on mobile devices, many believe that the battle royale title is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch.

"Iron Galaxy Studios is a well-established independent game developer who has partnered with the titans of our industry to ship more high-caliber games than any other indie developer. Our best known creative works are, the critically acclaimed Killer Instinct, and Divekick; which are complimented by our technically superb Fornite and Skyrim switch ports. We are looking for an inspiring self-starter to join our Iron Galaxy family and embrace the leadership role of Director of Game Design."
However, Iron Galaxy has since removed "Fortnite" from the job listing, which points to the information of the studio working on a Fortnite port for the Nintendo console not being intended to be put into the public sphere at this time. With it being odd that the studio would specifically mention a Fortnite port for the Nintendo Switch in a job listing and not have any intention to actually be working on the project, it looks as though Iron Galaxy has seemingly and unintentionally confirmed that Fortnite will be making its way to the hybrid console in the future.
