Fortnite is a battle royale game developed by Epic Games and released in 2017, where eliminated players hear a cue as they are knocked out. The death sound became familiar through millions of gameplay clips, streams and highlight videos, and creators soon began lifting it out of the game for short-form edits. Its old and new versions are both recognised by players, which keeps it useful for nostalgic clips as well as current ones. Because the cue is short and tied to a clear moment of defeat, it still works as a comic signal in gaming videos and meme compilations.
