The wildly popular game Fortnite is one step closer to complete domination.

Fortnite is coming to Android, Epic Games announced Friday, and it's expected to arrive sometime this summer if everything goes according to plan.

Fortnite is free to play and has attracted millions of players thanks to its competitive Battle Royale mode. Fortnite first came to iOS in April after its initial release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac in the summer of 2017.

The game, which has cross-platform multiplayer, is slightly different on mobile platforms than it is on consoles and computers, giving players extra things like visual indicators for noise to level the playing field.

In addition to announcing Fortnite's arrival on Android, Epic Games also announced some new updates coming to the mobile version of the game to help it run better as well as allow players to customize their heads-up displays (HUDs). Epic Games also teased that voice chat will be coming to mobile Fortnite with easy ways to control it.
