Summary
- Fortnite extends Blitz Royale support by 4 weeks, introducing fresh content and locations.
- Blitz Royale offers players a fast-paced experience where matches are limited to five minutes.
- One leaker has suggested that mythic items from Dragon Ball and Jujutsu Kaisen could appear in Blitz Royale soon.
Fortnite has revealed that it will be extending its support of the new Blitz Royale game mode by another four weeks, which will come with a wide variety of fresh content for players to enjoy. Epic Games has been busy adding new ways for fans to engage with Fortnite, which recently resulted in the developer adding both Blitz Royale and LEGO Fortnite Expeditions to the title.
While similar to Epic Games' traditional battle royale experience, Fortnite's new Blitz Royale game mode has introduced several interesting twists to keep players engaged in the action. Originally designed for mobile, Blitz Royale limits its pool of players to 32, meaning there are fewer opponents in a given match. In addition, players begin each round with a boon and a weapon, allowing them to engage in combat as soon as they land. The map is also smaller and matches only last for about five minutes, meaning the storm is constantly pushing players into conflict with one another.
Fortnite's Newest Game Mode is Breaking Player Records
The newest game mode in Fortnite is proving to be a massive hit, setting new player records far surpassing the traditional modes.
In a recent post on Twitter, Epic Games revealed that it will be continuing to support the popular Blitz Royale game mode for an additional four weeks. This means the developer will provide rolling updates to Blitz Royale, continually shifting its loot pool, which could include more of Fortnite's powerful boons. The trailer showed that fresh locations will even be coming to the map, including the return of Mega City.
Fortnite Is Extending Its Support of Blitz Royale
Epic Games also revealed that more of Fortnite's popular collaborations will be coming to Blitz Royale, which has played a major role in adding variety to the game mode every week. According to the leaker HYPEX, this could point to the return of mythic items from crossovers with franchises like Dragon Ball and Jujutsu Kaisen. Many players have been asking Epic Games to make Blitz Royale a permanent game mode, but the developer hasn't committed to doing so just yet.
Many fans have been enjoying their time with Blitz Royale, and some have even praised the design of Fortnite's Blitz 'Brella, which can be earned by playing the game mode. Unlike most of Fortnite's umbrellas, gamers will have to do more than just win a single match to earn this cosmetic. Since Blitz Royale is such a fast-paced experience, Epic Games has made it so that players need to win three matches of the popular game mode to earn its exclusive glider. While some players were disappointed by the change, as most umbrellas can be earned by winning a single match, others claimed that it has just given them an even bigger reason to dive back into the action again and again.
