Since the release of the free Battle Royale mode, Fortnite has become something of a phenomenon in the last few months, with a huge number of players downloading and enjoying the game.

It also helps that people enjoy watching it played, and recently the Fortnite veteran Ninja played a couple of matches with the rapper Drake to smash the record for the biggest ever concurrent audience on Twitch, with an astonishing 600,000 active viewers. That's major no matter how you look at it, and developer Epic Games wants to explore this concept even further.

That's why it has now announced something called "Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am", which will take place during E3 in June. The concept is to have one celebrity paired with a professional player, and then letting them have it, last pair standing and all that jazz.

It does sound somewhat cheesy, but with the right celebrities, it might end up being fun, no?
