Log into Fortnite right now and you’ll find that the game’s most-played mode is, very unusually, not its main Battle Royale option. Instead the new Blitz Royale is currently ruling the roost — but what is it? And why is this fresh offering from Epic Games so popular?
Blitz Royale launched this week in Fortnite’s latest update, alongside Expeditions, a new story-infused PVE Lego experience, and a Bruno Mars-starring new season of Guitar Hero-like Fortnite Festival.
But, as has continually been the case, it is the mode closest to Fortnite’s classic Battle Royale that has broken out — and, for now, Blitz Royale feels like it has found a fresh niche for players keen to try something faster-paced and more quickfire.
As its name suggests, Blitz Royale matches are meant to take less time overall and power-up players much faster than in a classic Battle Royale offering. The mode’s map, currently based on Fortnite’s classic OG Island, is a fraction of its size, building is disabled, and there’s an in-match levelling system to grant weapons and power-ups, meaning there’s no need to spend time scrounging for loot.
That said, other Battle Royale staples remain: a fast moving storm
