Customers of UK ISP Sky Broadband<\/a>, particularly those who enjoy certain online multiplayer video and computer games, may be interested to learn that the provider has launched a custom-built world (map) created for Fortnite called ‘Sky City<\/em>‘. This is said to form part of their “ambition to be the #1 broadband provider for gamers”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to Sky, the “immersive<\/em>” new “brand experience<\/em>” allows players to “find seamless and authentic references to Sky Broadband<\/a>, alongside other Sky brands, which blend in with and enrich the world without overshadowing the player experience<\/em>“, which probably sounded exciting to Sky’s marketing team (i.e. actual gamers may have a.. different perspective).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The Sky City Map for Fortnite can be found using map code 9674-9752-3343.<\/div>\n

Sky goes on to state that 16 players will enter the Sky City map via a “series of speed rails, a core feature of Sky Broadband<\/em>” (we’ve never heard of ‘speed rails’ as a broadband feature). The map is said to be designed for rooftop battles, where players use speed rails and launch pads to gain a competitive edge. This unique activation is said to enable Sky Broadband to engage with a “core audience that traditional media isn\u2019t able to reach<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Apparently, all of this is going to be accompanied by a “series of livestream events which allow players to battle alongside their favourite creators, engage in challenges and win real-world prizes from Sky Broadband<\/em>,” although none of those prizes are mentioned. Highlights of the tournament will then be posted on Sky UK and “influencer channels<\/em>” on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n
