Fortnite will soon receive a PvP mode called Battle Royale. In this mode, you can kill your opponents in the best PUBG style. The new game mode will be free to play, and those who only want to play PvP may get their money back.
Fortnite is an early access coop shooter that will only be free to play with the upcoming release. This does not apply to the upcoming PvP mode “Battle Royale”. If you only want to kill other players, you can soon start for free and do not have to buy an early access version of Fortnite.
Free2Play for Killers
Starting next Tuesday, September 26, 2017, the PvP mode Battle Royale will launch. And it’s completely free. What’s more, it gets even better.
The developers at Epic Games were so impressed by the success of the beta that they decided to move the free-to-play release forward for PvP fans. So if you only want to play Battle Royale and not the PvE part of Fortnite, you won’t have to pay a cent starting September 26.
If you have already purchased Fortnite in anticipation of the PvP mode, even though you couldn’t care less about the PvE, you might get your money back with a bit of luck. According to Epic Games, every player who bought Fortnite between September 12 and September 19 has the right to a refund.
Battle Royale gets new maps and possibly vehicles
The new game mode is also set to be further expanded. They want to first refine the handling and combat behavior. Also, teams will be possible from the release of Battle Royale.
Later, they are considering adding vehicles. New maps are also planned. The PvE mode, now known as “Fortnite: Save the World”, will be kept strictly separate from the PvP mode. However, there may be cosmetic items that can be earned in one mode and then used in the other.
Good to know: The developers promise not to neglect the PvE mode. Fortnite is not supposed to end up like the infamous H1Z1, which has even lost its name to the PvP derivative “H1Z1: King of the Kill”. Instead, new content like a Halloween event is planned for October.
