The world of <strong>video games<\/strong> has evolved a lot in the last few years, especially gamers. Gamers are asserting themselves, claiming to be gamers, and are therefore a new market to conquer for the major luxury brands.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The partnership between <strong>Balenciaga <\/strong>and<strong> Fortnite<\/strong> has several objectives. The luxury brands want to impose themselves in a field that they had neglected until now. But with the ever-increasing democratization of multiplayer games and the gaming community as a whole, a new <strong>market<\/strong> of 2.7 billion potential consumers has opened up for the world of luxury.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>Balenciaga<\/strong>, it&#8217;s a matter of showing its involvement in the field of <strong>video games<\/strong>, even making it a strategic pillar of its business and not a one-off marketing ploy. For <strong>Fortnite<\/strong>, the challenge is to show once again the capabilities of their game engine while providing their players with new items and a new game experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read Also &gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/en\/gaming-playground-for-gucci\/\">GAMING : PLAYGROUND FOR GUCCI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Featured Photo : \u00a9 <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video game Fortnite and luxury brand Balenciaga have announced a collaboration that is unprecedented, to say the least.
