It can be hard to score a specific skin or emote in Epic Game’s cultural phenomenon Fortnite. The shop changes on a regular basis, meaning many players will pay pretty much any price when their favorite skins make an appearance.

Rod Fergusson of The Coalition confirms that every game mode in the upcoming Gears of War 4, including its versus multiplayer, will support split-screen functionality.

Fortnite has managed to cultivate a large audience in the crowded battle royale genre. Despite the popularity of Fortnite, the game has been receiving a fair amount of criticism in recent months and the return of a controversial weapon may split the fan base. With that said, if the returning weapon is a success it may win over players who have a nostalgic interest in the game.
