Team Unite is excited to reveal its latest Fortnite Creative experience, designed in partnership with MTN DEW® to promote their cherry-flavoured line of beverages MTN DEW CODE RED.  Unite has created a Team Deathmatch that takes place in a unique city, currently being attacked by a MTN DEW® character known as Meg. This gigantic monster is slowly approaching the city, forcing players to pick a side: defend the city, or help Meg capture the area!

Players will have to fight through environments such as the MTN DEW Factory, where they can interact with pipes to pour various flavours such as Baja Blast, Voltage and Spark, allowing fans to become aware of the many lines that MTN DEW has to offer. Unite has filled the area with an abundance of branded details, such as a red river made entirely of MTN DEW Code Red.

From branded trucks, parasols, billboards, and even physical bottles on the shelves, we have gone all-out on making this an experience true to MTN DEW’s marketing campaign. As players look beyond the shore, they will see Meg – a huge monster who is constantly attacking the Downtown area.

As the game progresses, Meg will have a variety of unique events – roaring at the players, beating their chest in anger and looking around for enemy fighter jets. Eventually, these fighter jets will enter the battlefield, firing a barrage of rockets at Meg and holding them back for a period of time.

Most importantly, Meg can pick up a Cherry from the ground – causing sirens to ring at the factory. This is an indicator to players that a cherry is about to be thrown in a random area. After its thrown, players can pick up the cherry superpower – giving them a temporary ability such as Health Regeneration, Double Damage, Double Speed and more.

In terms of gameplay, we went with a classic Team Deathmatch mode, but turned off a crucial feature: building. Players will not be able to rely on their Fortnite skills to protect themselves with builds, they will have to use strategy, cover, and powerups thrown by Meg. In their spawn locations, fans can choose any weapon they want from a huge selection of items: from snipers and shotguns to potions and slap splashes.
