Fortnite's New Gamemode: Blitz Royale!

Fortnite is launching their latest gamemode, Blitz Royale on Wednesday, June 18. This one month long LTM comes shortly after Epic Games published Fortnite on the App Store, after several years.

Gameplay

Hit the blitz solo or in a squad of four. Blitz Royale will be available until July 15, and may return at a later date with refreshed gameplay, maps, and rewards. 

Blitz Royale is zero-build gamemode. All opponents start with the same random Medallion or unique weapon on a small map. This means everyone has the same advantage!

Increase your Blitz Level by eliminating opponents and surviving Storm circles. As you level up, get powerful weapons and power-ups. Loot Golden Chests for even more power-ups and Golden Supply Drops for even more Medallions.

LTM Weekly Schedule

Blitz Royale will feature four weeks of gameplay events:

• June 18: Week 1 - Launch Week! Find new Mythic versions of popular weapons, like the Rocket Ram, in the rare Golden Llama. 
• June 24: Week 2 - The Avatar Returns! Pagodas from the Four Nations appear on the map, and players start with a Bending Scroll from Avatar: The Last Airbender. 
• July 1: Week 3 - Bad Bosses! Replacing Bending Scrolls are power-packed boss weapons like Thorne’s Vampiric Blade and the new Blitz Chain of Hades. 
• July 8: Week 4 - TMNT Melee Mayhem! Replacing boss items are melee weapons from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, plus Megalo Don’s Nitro Fists, the Mythic Typhoon Blade, Blitz Kneecapper, and more.
