Fortnite on Nintendo Switch Receives Rating Via Koreas Game Ratings Board

Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale has seen massive success across multiple video game platforms over the past few months, as its free to play status and its allowance of cross-platform play between consoles, mobile and PC has allowed the title to be a game that any gamer can enjoy. With the success of Fortnite on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 consoles, many have been curious about whether or not the game would ever make its way to the Nintendo Switch. 

A recent leak has pointed to the possibility of Epic Games announcing Fortnite for the Switch at E3 2018 as very high, but was not anything that could be labeled as undeniable proof that Fortnite for the Nintendo Switch would be announced at this year's E3 conference. However, the reveal of Fortnite for Nintendo Switch now looks to be a certain done deal, as the Nintendo Switch version of the popular battle royale game has received a rating from the Korean Game Rating Board, according to a report by Game Revolution. 

The rating from the Korean Game Rating Board was classified Friday, June 1st and was rated 12 years old, as Fortnite for the Nintendo Switch looks to keep the ability for the majority of gamers to be able to play the title. 

With the title receiving a rating for Korea, it now looks as though players who spend their time on the hybrid home and mobile console will now be able to join in on the fun. It will be interesting to see if Epic Games will allow Nintendo Switch players to play with those on other platforms. Because of the ability for Mobile players on IOS devices to cross-platform play, it is safe to assume the still yet announced Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite will be given the same treatment in regards to playing with other platforms as its smartphone and tablet counterparts, unless Nintendo has any reason to not allow it. 

While no official announcement had been made by Epic Games regarding Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, a rating from the official Korean Game Rating Board is very strong evidence that players on the go will now have another option to chase victory royales on.
