Fortnite has changed plenty over the last year, bringing about plenty of new locations and mechanics as the months have passed. Despite having no experience with any of the changes to the gameplay or map design, however, pro player NICKMERCS won his very first match in Fortnite after being gone for an entire year.

NICKMERCS is one of many streamers to make a return to Fortnite after a lengthy absence from the battle royale. However, the incredibly skilled player showed no signs of being rusty when he loaded up the game once again, dominating in his first game back. After racking up multiple kills, reacting with excitement after every battle won, NICKMERCS eventually reached the final battle of the match. Once again edging out his opponent, NICKMERCS claimed the Victory Royale.

NICKMERCS’ return to a Marvel-covered Fortnite landscape was thrilling to watch, and the clip was quickly captured and posted to YouTube. The FaZe member has previously mentioned wanting to return to Fortnite prior to his victory, saying that the game was some of the most fun he has ever had streaming. It certainly seems that NICKMERCS has enjoyed his return as much as he hoped he would, and the player has promised fans that there will be more Fortnite content to come on his channels soon.

Previously, NICKMERCS had spent time with Call of Duty: Warzone. The talented player became well-known for his Call of Duty: Warzone loadouts, consistently providing players with the best versions of weapons to give them an edge over their opponents. While NICKMERCS is likely to keep playing Call of Duty: Warzone going forward, and provide more loadouts whenever new weapons arrive, it seems likely that Fortnite will rejoin his regular rotation of games, too.

The streamer tweeted after the win that he “had so much fun playing Fortnite today,” adding that it “felt just like old times.” Aside from promising that more streams of the game would come, NICKMERCS teased involvement with the Fortnite Championship Series. While Fortnite’s current tournament allows early access to skins like Black Widow, it seems the game’s next competitive bracket could see an appearance from the returning NICKMERCS.

Fortnite is back on the rise following the return of popular content creators like NICKMERCS and Ninja, as well as the success of the recent Marvel event. With more DC costumes coming to Fortnite as well, the video game phenomenon has something for everyone and is back in the spotlight once again because of that.

Fortnite is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
