As for the report, it comes the way of iFireMonkey over on Twitter, a Fortnite leaker and insider with over 1.2 million followers on Twitter. In the past, the source has proven reputable and reliable in the past. Typically, they provide leaks based on datamining efforts of recent files, but this time this appears to be information derived from some type of inside scoop.
Of course, take everything here with a grain of salt as this is nothing more than a leak. In other words, this is not official information. Further, even if this is accurate, say this is the plan from Epic Games, it doesn’t mean this plan won’t change over time. In fact, things change in game development all the time, and it’s especially easy to change plans that haven’t been formally announced.
As for Epic Games, it has not commented on this report and the scuttlebutt now surrounding it. Typically, Epic Games has a strict policy of silence when it comes to reports and leaks, so we don’t expect this to change, but if it does, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.
Fortnite is available, for free, via Nintendo Switch, mobile devices, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.
