Epic Games has announced that will be receiving a new game mode called Blitz Royale on June 18, which has been specifically designed for mobile. Fortnite recently returned to iOS devices in the United States after being unavailable for several years, giving many people a whole new way to engage with the title.

June 18 is shaping up to be a big day for fans, as Epic Games stated that it will also be releasing a major update for Fortnite Ballistic. A recent trailer outlined that the game mode will be receiving a new shell map called K-Zone Commons, which features densely packed alleyways meant to emphasize encounters in close quarters. New weapons will also be added to the mode, including a machine pistol with a high rate of fire that could really shine in tight spaces. In addition, gamers will be able to use the new Medmist grenade to obscure the vision of enemies while providing a touch of healing for themselves and teammates.

Fortnite Leaker Reveals New Features Being 'Considered' by Epic

A prominent Fortnite leaker surprises players by sharing new features that they claim are currently being considered by Epic Games.

In two recent posts on Twitter, Epic Games revealed that another new game mode will be coming to Fortnite on June 18. The fresh mode is called Blitz Royale, and it's meant to offer players a bite-sized experience that can be completed in five minutes. While Epic Games stated that Blitz Royale was designed for mobile, it will be available on all platforms with full crossplay support. The posts didn't give away too many details, but they did mention that the new mode will feature a rogue-like design.

While unconfirmed, some leakers have claimed that Epic Games will also be adding a new version of Fortnite OG to the game. According to HYPEX, the developers may be removing bots from Fortnite OG, which means lobbies would only be comprised of authentic players. However, Epic Games may add a casual version of Fortnite OG to compensate for the change. Rumors have suggested that this new version of Fortnite OG may feature lobbies made up of 12 players and 88 bots.

In addition to getting a new mobile-focused game mode, Epic Games revealed that it will be launching LEGO Fortnite Expeditions on June 18. The fresh game mode will add Hero Classes to LEGO Fortnite, which will give players new abilities that seem to play off of Chapter 6 Season 3's superhero theme. Some leakers have claimed that players will be able to access the new game mode by going to a bus station in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey or LEGO Fortnite Brick Life. With so much content to enjoy and even more just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
