It’s that time of the year again, which means it’s awards season at Twinfinite, as we get together to honor developers and games that we loved. The Games With the Best Ongoing Support & Development in 2021 award is one of the few that does not focus on games released last year, but on those that kept evolving and bringing the most fun.
Below you can read our list, voted by our staff, starting with two honorable mentions, two runners-up, and the overall winner.
Best Ongoing Support & Development 2020
Honorable Mention: Fortnite
Guides Editor Chris Jecks: Each year, I end up writing about Fortnite’s exceptional ongoing support from developer Epic Games. The battle royale title took the world by storm in 2017 and while its grip on the globe has softened in the past couple of years, it still remains a bit of a phenomenon spanning various age groups and demographics. Adults still point at the screen like Leo DiCaprio in that meme whenever it’s mentioned on a quiz show, kids are still flossing and Fortnite continues to blow collective minds with its end-of-season events.
All of this goes to say that Fortnite is still as strong as it ever has been, and with the recent flipping of its island, it’s been given a new lease of life thanks to a new map, adjusted loot pool, and more pop culture crossovers than you can shake a stick at.
Each year, I also think that it’ll probably be the last year I write about Fortnite. That the momentum behind this epic juggernaut has to subside at some point, but it just keeps going. Epic Games has created an immense platform with ample gameplay possibilities and crossovers, and with the Metaverse now purported to be the next big thing in games, the future of Fortnite is set to be very interesting indeed. So much so, I’ve already started planning out what I’ll say in this blurb again next year.
