Enter the "No Malarkey Zone" - Joe Biden Owns Fortnight Island

Epic Games, the developer of "Fortnite," knows no limits when it comes to marketing crossovers. It devoted nearly all of Season 4 to Marvel superheroes, previously taking on big DC heroes like Batman and turning rapper Travis Scott into a monster.

In Joe Biden's No Malarkey Zone, none of that matters. Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, is no stranger to using popular video games as a platform to rally votes, and he unveiled his own Fortnite island in the game's creative mode.

Biden's island is a large urban area with a town hall with Biden-Harris signs and posters such as "Affordable College" and "Black Lives Matter," where players can experience a short mini-game accessible via a code from the game's Creative Mode hub: 0215-4511-1823.

The island itself is a fun enough adventure, if somewhat mundane. Players can take the subway to ...... I wish I were joking, but they enter the "No Malarkey Station" and exit onto the street.

Players are greeted by a group of Jonesy-like cardboard cutouts who guide them through the town and assign them various objectives in line with Biden's charter. They climb towers to install eco-friendly air conditioners and solar panels, hoverboard down rivers to collect trash, and visit Biden's ice cream shop to race down color-coded slides.

Perhaps to show how enthusiastic the DPW is about the needs of PC gamers, one mini-game even allows you to install universal broadband Internet throughout the city. Ah, progress.

The island was designed by a team of two Fortnite Creative Mode artists who have demonstrated their skills in other Fortnite commercial collaborations in the past, including GrubHub, 100 Thieves, and the Susan G. Komen organization, by Alliance Studios.

To their credit, the Biden team and Alliance have ensured that there are plenty of signs on the island encouraging players to vote and text "Fortnite" to 30330.

The Biden camp previously showed off Joe's "Animal Crossing": the island had many similar images, including Joe's personal ice cream stand. New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also played "Among Us" with fellow Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and other streamers, making the top 20 Twitch streamers More than 400,000 people tuned in to watch AOC hunt down imposters Politicians like AOC and Biden, for better or worse, are clearly interested in reaching young voters where they live and play. Now, we will be watching closely over the next few days as the worst 1vs1 box fight in history unfolds.
