Fortnite’s short film festival “Short Nite” is kicking off later this week. This will be the fourth event of this theme. The event will feature a variety of short animated movies screened in-game. Epic Games announced that the event will take place on May 12th. There will be 10 movies for the audience, and three of them are world premieres. Epic Games will sell a popcorn-eating emote for the event.
The original Short Nite took place on Fortnite’s party royale island, but the players loved it and it has become a habit for the fans. Especially with last year’s Halloween-themed edition, the event reached to a large audience. This year, there will be nine different custom-built virtual theaters, created in the game’s Creative mode. Players can move between the virtual theaters via the discover page. You can group up with up to seven friends, and the festival will support picture-in-picture, so you can also watch while you play battle royale or other game modes.
Previous events in this festival series had a very wide range of short movies, so it’s a good chance to see some cool animation you might otherwise not see. Short Nite event runs from 2PM ET on May 12th through the May 16th.
