Toymaker Hasbro has released a version of “Monopoly” based on
“Fortnite,” the world’s most popular video game.

Born from a licensing agreement with “Fortnite” developer Epic
Games, “Monopoly: Fortnite Edition” has arrived in stores in the
U.S. and U.K. in time for the holiday season. Retailers like
Target and Barnes & Noble are currently selling the game for
$19.99.

“Monopoly: Fortnite Edition” will be able to draw upon dozens of
notable locations from the “Fortnite” map. Areas in “Fortnite:
Battle Royale,” like Paradise Palms and Loot Lake, will be used
in place of the usual avenues in standard “Monopoly.” 

Hasbro has also licensed “Fortnite”-themed Nerf blasters — which
could be inspired by a number of weapons featured in the video
game — that will launch in 2019. Hasbro hinted at
some “Fortnite”-themed role-playing games launching sometime
in the future, but there are currently no other details. 

“Monopoly: Fortnite Edition” will use locations from
the video game instead of the usual Monopoly
avenues.
