Fortnite announces new game mode

Fortnite is launching its own Arenas Boxfights game mode on April 9, giving players an official version of Creative's popular island-type. Save the World should have been the main one Fortnite game mode, but the plan was derailed when the developers realized that Battle Royale really captured the attention of players. After that, Epic Games shifted its focus almost exclusively to Battle Royale, creating an interesting story, Battle Pass seasons peppered with cosmetics, and an ever-changing island.

Epic Games occasionally released new limited time modes Fortnitegenerally with themed quests and even some cosmetic rewards to keep players entertained. This grew to the point of launching entirely new game modes Fortnitesuch as Fortnite Festival, Fortnite Ballistic, Fortnite OG, Rocket Racing and LEGO Fortnite. Some of these supposedly permanent modes weren't as popular as others, which is why Epic Games announced that this is for sure Fortnite game modes will be bridged soon.

Fortnite is adding the official Boxfight game mode on April 9

Although Battle Stage Rocket Racing, Ballistic and Fortnite Festival will soon be removed, players have a new game mode called Arenas Boxfights to keep them entertained once the other game modes are gone. It follows from the announcement of the official Fortnite Twitter account, Arenas Boxfights will go live on April 9 and will consist of 1v1 and 2v2 matches in a 16-player, multi-round game. Whoever reaches 15 rounds wins first will be considered the winner of the match.

In addition to the official game modes and LTM, there are thousands of Creative maps Fortnite created by content creators in the community. Boxfights are among the most popular Fortnite Creative islands because they allow players to test their competitive skills, especially in close quarters. In the past, there was a Close Quarters LTM that featured only melee weapons, forcing players to enter their personal space and fight head-to-head. This was especially intense in the build-enabled Battle Royale games, as it led to some serious build-up battles.
