Fortnite as a social network?

Fortnite is definitely one of the hottest, if not the hottest battle royale game out there. And Epic Games would be a fool not to get the most out of it. To make the game even more engaging, your avatar will also be able to show the player's facial expressions in the future. And that in real time. At least that's what experts say, who came to such a conclusion after the news that Epic bought the company Hyprsense, which some time ago developed the application Hyprmeet, which changes the user's facial expressions from the webcam in real time into the expressions of the avatar that the participants in the video conference see instead of the real face.

The news, of course, immediately raised questions about what such technology will do for Epic. And the only smart answer is that the company is trying to emphasize this social component even more in Fortnite, which is increasingly becoming a social network.

If the speculations are true, we could find out pretty soon. Hyprmeet, which saw its release in beta in September, is no longer available, which could mean that it will soon be released in a form that matches Epic's vision.
