Gamers, this one is for you!
Aotearoa is now accessible on a new Fortnite creative map called 'Lands Down Under' - which means our very country will be able to reach tens of millions of gamers every day!
The map was designed in conjunction with Alliance Studios, which has offices in the US and Australia, but more importantly with New Zealand's own Zen Creative.
Zen Creative is the brainchild of twin brothers R-leeo and Theodore Maoate, who have been developing in-game experiences for 10 years.
Ever heard of the bin chicken? Yep, @FortniteANZ's #LandsDownUnder celebrates all of the weird and wonderful from Australia and New Zealand.

"This has been a massive opportunity that I've been extremely grateful to be a part of," R-leeo told Newshub.
"It's not everyday you get to represent New Zealand on a worldwide scale and it's just crazy."
Land Down Under even has an aquarium reminiscent of every Auckland kid's favourite field trip spot, Kelly Tarltons.
To access 'Lands Down Under' head to the creative map and enter this code: 4371-6551-3016. So if you're a Fortnite king or queen, have at it!
