Posted by Twigsby on 7/20/2021
Short Nite is back! This time, join your friends in Party Royale for a series of animated, online shorts by up-and-coming-creators. Included is the world premiere of the next entry of the popular Gildedguy series!
The event kicks off on Friday, July 23, 2021, at 2 PM ET. If you can't make the debut, the short films will continue to play non-stop until 2 PM ET on July 25.
Party Royale Programming
This latest Short Nite includes a variety of shorts that are comedic, rhythmic, and action-packed. Included in the schedule are two shorts from the full-of-action Gildedguy saga, including the world premiere of the next entry Gildedguy Gets Up! (featuring music by Emma Stevens).
The total runtime of the shorts is about 40 minutes, and the show will run non-stop for 48 hours. (So jump in whenever you want!) If you’re new to Party Royale, check out our guide for getting to the Big Screen. Players will also have the option to watch Short Nite 2 in standard Battle Royale via Picture-in-Picture, available during certain times of the event and accessible through the settings.
Gilded-Garbed: Gildedguy Enters the Fortnite Item Shop!
In celebration of the Gildedguy Gets Up! premiere in Short Nite 2, Gildedguy is joining the fight on the Fortnite Island. No stranger to battling, Gildedguy will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop starting July 22 at 8 PM ET alongside the new Slush Fighter Cape Back Bling and Stellapen Smashpack Pickaxe!
Subtitles and Content Creation
For the shorts that contain dialogue, you’ll be able to watch them with subtitles in your preferred language. If you want to watch with subtitles, be sure to enable subtitles in the Audio Settings.
And as a heads-up for Content Creators, just like with any theater, there’s no recording of these shorts during the event. Instead, invite your fans to watch in-game live! Any streams or VODs of these films (whether from Party Royale or via Picture-in-Picture) will be removed per content protection rules.
We hope you enjoy these shorts playing at the Big Screen. To schedule this Party Royale event on your calendar, be sure to head to fortnite.com/partyroyale. We’ll see you at the second Short Nite! 🍿
