The game mode has been available since 2018 and has been generally well received since launch, allowing players to express a lot more creativity in theFortniteuniverse.

Rykard may be better known as the horrific giant snake monster with a human face that is obsessed with eating things to gain their power. Also famous for his pronunciation of “together” when shouting at the player, Rykard is a grotesque beast that could be considered quite typical for From Software design. One fan has recreatedRykard in NES pixel art, matching an early-era horror title quite well. The design doesn’t quite matchFortnite’s cleaner and more friendly image, but now Reddit user MrEIectric has proven that it’s possible to make a near-identical match inFortnite.
MrEIectric has recreated Rykard, as well as the boss’s lighting, with meticulous detail. Fellow fans commented to say that the recreation was simply stunning, praising both the creator and Epic, for the effort put in and the creative mode, respectively. Fans noted that with the latest update to creative mode, the possibilities make it rival entry level game design software, with the ability to recreate games such asRocket Leaguepretty much in their entirety. Fans have also taken the chance to recreate theoriginalFortnitemapfrom 2017, replete with the original weapons.
MrEIectric has carved out a niche for their design, having previously recreatedMalenia inFortnitecreative mode, as well as Starscourge Radahn. Some other users commented to request MrEIectric make moreElden Ringcharacters such as Ranni, while others still made jokes such as wanting to see Rykard in Fort Haight. While these high detail character models are not as functional as game maps or full game homages, they do help to show that with passion, creativity, and talent, fans can produce content to rival official releases.
Fortniteis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
