Fortnite is renowned for its surprise announcements regarding events, new modes, skins, and various other additions. Epic Games consistently enhances the player experience to ensure endless entertainment for its community.
New Game Modes on the Horizon
To keep players engaged, Epic has revealed that two new game modes are set to launch in the upcoming months. According to the well-known leaker ShiinaBR, the first mode will be a revamped version of “Fortnite: Reload.”
In this mode, 40 players will drop onto a smaller map in squads. Upon elimination, an individual timer will start, allowing the player to respawn once the timer ends. If an entire squad is wiped out, they are eliminated from the match, continuing until only one squad remains.
Details on the Second Game Mode
While details about the second game mode remain sparse, it has been confirmed that it will be an “entirely new game mode,” expected to launch sometime this year. If this new mode debuts in 2024, Epic may adhere to its tradition of creating an OG season. After this season concludes, it is likely that the new game modes will be introduced in Chapter 6 of Fortnite.
Both modes are said to heavily utilize UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite) and Verse, empowering players to create and publish custom game content. This includes defining rules, devices, NPC behaviors, animations, audio, and much more, potentially transforming the Fortnite experience.
Current Fortnite Game Modes
As of now, Fortnite offers eight main game modes, each providing a unique twist on gameplay mechanics. The introduction of the new modes will be intriguing to see how they integrate with the existing options:
- Battle Royale: A PvP mode where players parachute from the Battle Bus onto an island and fight until only one player remains.
- Zero Build: Similar to Battle Royale but without building; players rely on a recharging overshield.
- Reload: A respawn mode set on a smaller island, where players battle until their team is wiped or they secure victory.
- Fortnite Festival: A rhythm-based mode allowing players to perform songs, create mashups, and unlock new instruments.
- LEGO Fortnite: A survival crafting mode that combines the worlds of Fortnite and LEGO.
- Rocket Racing: An arcade racing mode that fuses elements of Rocket League and Fortnite.
- Creative Mode: A sandbox environment where players can build their own islands, create games, and share their creations.
- Save The World: Players utilize building skills to eliminate hordes of monsters while exploring the game’s world.
