Stardew Valley is the face of the increasingly pervasive cozy indie game genre. Fortnite is the face of the increasingly pervasive free-to-play battle royale genre. Putting them together might sound downright oxymoronic, but at least one party is interested—just not in the way you might expect.
Fortnite doesn’t solely collaborate with its fellow industry powerhouses, as other indie hits like Among Us and Lethal Company have previously made it through the vaunted doors of the Battle Bus. If solo Stardew developer Eric Barone, AKA ConcernedApe, has anything to say about it, though, the next character to join Jonesy on the battlefield will be none other than boozy, curmudgeonly bus driver Pam.
