The Fortnite rumours have been growing and growing over the last few weeks, with lots of evidence suggesting that game will be launching on Switch during the Nintendo E3 Direct taking place tomorrow.
This latest datamine of upcoming software for the Switch's eShop shows a 12th June release date for the title (as already expected) along with all the information you'd expect to see including the game's publisher, genre, and a file size of just over 2 GB.

There is also mention of add-on content for the game with in-game V-Bucks and a Wingman Starter Pack theoretically being up for offer.
It certainly seems plausible, and it sits in very nicely with the already existing rumours. As always, though, make sure to remain slightly hesitant in case the reveal doesn't happen tomorrow.
Do you expect Fortnite to launch for Switch tomorrow?

Rumors are Rumors.
I wonder how they will handle the battle pass since the season is half over.
Be a nice surprise to wake up to
Prize for 2018 worst kept secret goes to...
Guess it's the mobile port considering the file size.
It's coming isn't it. Tbh, I'm even starting to believe the Punch Out / F-Zero / Steep 1080 rumours...
@iMarkU Interestingly, both this year and last year's worst kept secrets have been 3rd party Switch games. Last year was Mario+Rabbids, this year it's Fortnite. I bet the trend continues next year too.
@iMarkU Paladins! (Who saw that coming?)
Very fun game albeit, stressful. Constantly having to watch 360° plus the adrenaline of making it to top 10 is a little much for my aging self haha.
I’m looking for something new to replace Splatoon as my go-to game as I’m becoming burnt out around 530 hours play time. Will this or Paladins scratch that itch well?
Meh...no for me. I'm old and part of a different generation who likes story driven games.
Looking forward to this! I really wish Sony would allow cross platform play though. Can anyone tell me, why can’t EPIC just allow cross platform play on all consoles? Why does Sony have to allow it, if it’s EPIC’s game and servers?
@SimplyCinnamon53 Because it's Sony's players, on Sony's console, so Sony gets to do what it wants, they have the right to say no to online play with anything, so no Xbox (or switch) crossplay
It lines up with the Nintendo direct tomorrow I'm excited to see if it's true or not
Nintendo wants this out so they don't need to spend much time on it...
@MasterJay Ok, I guess that makes sense but I don’t think it uses Sony’s online service though. You can play fortnite online without paying for Sony’s PlayStation Now
@iMarkU
Probably Wal-mart going by Bethesda's E3
It’s already confirmed at this point, just give me the game already
Could just wait 24 hours and find out if it is coming or not...
I am not too excited about this one. The building mechanic has turned out to not be my cup of tea. I do think the gameplay itself is pretty solid and polished though. Perhaps I would enjoy the PvE mode a fair amount.
@marnelljm yeah battle Royale sucks. I wish they brought over save the world though.
@SimplyCinnamon53 Yeah, your right you don't need ps plus, forgot about that
We know already.
Will you be able to you use your xbox / ps4 account
Will you be able to play with you skins from xbox
@NinjaWaddleDee I hope they bring over Save the World too. That one would be an instant buy for me.
Thanks NL for posting crap we already know.
But will there be a Mushroom Kingdom map?
So I know nothing about Fortnite. is it cross-plat, f2p, what? Is it similar to unreal tournament?
@HobbitGamer Think Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, only more cartoony, Lego game mechanics (For building walls and forts) and more fun according to most people.
I have a suspicion it’s the mobile version.. but I hope I’m wrong.
@DarthNocturnal
alot of switch game data is cropped.
since the gamecards read/write speed is much higher then cd's it doesn't matter.
raw data unpacked could be 12gb.
its common with cardridge based software.
The worst part about this news is that my daughter is going to be begging me to let her play my Switch much more often now. Stay on PS4 ya brat.
Question:
How do we know this leak is actually from Nintendo eShop and not from some other thing?
BTW, I don’t do this hacking stuff, I idk
@nikdaboss I think an Android version is coming too, I would like to know what makes this an eShop data mine, not that I don’t believe it’s coming I just don’t see eShop or Nintendo in any of that picture
trials rising confirmed:-)
february 2019
This'll put a fork in Paladins for me.
@Dualmask Time to buy her own
@N8tiveT3ch why'd you get a Nintendo then? lol
@HugoStiglitz_420 I ask myself that day in and out...why do I keep playing video games at my age? What has all this been for if I don't have friends to enjoy them with? My family doesn't play games...WHY DAMNIT?!!!!
If anyone needs extra proof:

So, even though it's still kinda a rumour, why would they have the image of a game that they weren't planning to release on their servers?
Oh, and the game's home screen icon:

@N8tiveT3ch Nooo lol that's not what I meant AT ALL. You said you like to play story based games, and I asked why nintendo because Nintendo tends to be weak when it comes to the story in their games. Zelda and Mario are brilliant games, but the stories are almost inconsequential to why they are great.
As somebody who REALLY cares about the story in games and gets a lot of enjoyment from even games that arguably have too many cutscenes like the Order 1886 or MGS 4, it bums me out sometimes that Zelda IMO could've been so much better if more effort was put into the story and its presentation. I went from playing Zelda for several months to God of War and Detroit and almost forgot how much better games are when the story is great.
So what I should've said is, why'd you get a nintendo instead of a PS4 then?
@PALversusNTSC That's cool. Much like Urban Trial Freestyle held me over til Trials Fusion came out, Urban Trial Playground will hold me over til Trials Rising
@Fake-E-Lee im hyped for both Paladins and Fortnite
It's not until now I notice that Fortnight is created by People Can Fly. I've missed those guys.
