Gears of War creator Epic Games will hold a special Twitch live-stream event this afternoon where it will, for the first time ever, show off live gameplay for its upcoming PC shooter Fortnite.
The broadcast will begin at 4 PM EDT. Executive producer Tanya Watson will be on-hand during the presentation, guiding viewers through what they're seeing.
