Epic Games revealed during this year's Comic-Con the first game to use the upcoming Unreal 4 Engine will be a game called "Fortnite" and has a planned release on PC in 2013.
The game is influenced a bit by Minecraft and Cliff Bleszinski, creator of the Gears of War series, is the lead design director for the game. Other details include gameplay being a co-op sandbox style game which appears to mix the building and defending aspect of Minecraft with the survival aspect from Left 4 Dead series and Call of Duty's Zombie modes.
Quote:
Epic Games is describing Fortnite as a "co-op sandbox survival game." Players spend the day building defenses and crafting items, weapons to defend against enemies at night.
“Fortnite is PC primary and first, but we wouldn't rule out the possibility of other platforms later,” Cliffy B said on Twitter.

No specific release date was announced but the game will arrive at some point in 2013 and be a PC exclusive. There are plans for possibly porting the games later on to consoles but not until the next generation of consoles due to the demands of the Unreal 4 engine.
