The 70-second clip sees Roan travelling through a mediaeval fantasy land with the help of a griffin and rescuing adorable locals from terrifying beasts before she arrives in Fortnite.

The video uses a variety of different animation techniques including stop-motion and hand-drawn, and has been praised on social media.

“Wow I love this display of beautifully handmade human art! Seeing human art makes me want to play this game! I think I will download it now,” wrote one fan in a tweet that’s been shared more than 4,500 times. ”All gaming companies use AI in some capacity, it’s important to be loud when they make rare ethically correct decisions like employing real artists,” they added.

“It’s hard to believe that Fortnite of all things would continue to be a bastion of human created art,” replied another fan. “It’s so refreshing to get to see real, hand-crafted art in media like this,” said a third.
