Does anybody actually know how it's pronounced? Any videos of someone saying it in a speech or something?

I don't know if the name is taken from Italian, but in our language the double "z" is a very strong sound, so it's like adding a "t" before it.

For me it's actually easy to pronunce the name of the game LOL

Fortza

The letter "z" in the Italian language is pronounced "tz". You say "peetza" and "piatza" and they say pronounce "zoo" as "tzo"
