AUCKLAND, New Zealand – March 22, 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the release of the Odyssey Universe, a new customised map created for gamers to experience in Fortnite¹, based on the premium Odyssey series of monitors from Samsung.

The Odyssey Universe is a new in-game experience expressing how the industry-leading Samsung Odyssey monitor lineup 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 industry-leading Odyssey lineup 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 lineup. The permanent new map is divided into 5 spaces, each of them inspired by and representing an industry-leading entry in the Odyssey monitor lineup. 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.
