Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the release of the Odyssey Universe, a new customised map created for gamers to experience in Fortnite[1], based on the premium Odyssey series of monitors from Samsung.

The Odyssey Universe is a new in-game experience expressing how the amazing Samsung Odyssey monitor line-up helps gamers deliver on the promise of next-generation games.

“We are happy to introduce the Odyssey’s own customised gaming experience along with fun in one of the most popular game around the world.” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We will continue to introduce the best Odyssey line-up and raise the awareness of our gaming monitors by providing new, exciting experiences and events.”

The Odyssey Universe features each space inspired by the main product name of the Odyssey line-up. The permanent new map is divided into five (5) spaces, each of them inspired by and representing an astounding entry in the Odyssey monitor line-up. It ranges from the Level Ark, which is derived from the “Odyssey Ark” providing a new frontier of immersion with the 55-inch large screen, to Level G9∙G8∙G7∙G6 in line with products such as Odyssey Neo G9 and G8. Each space will have its own mission for players to clear, with a variety of objectives and rewards during gameplay.
