- Starting July 15, new weekly updates will be added that will include new abilities, locations, and surprise collaborations
- Fans are hoping that this means Epic is considering making the mode permanent
Epic Games has extended Fortnite‘s Blitz Royale play period by four more weeks, making fans wonder if the studio plans on making the mode a permanent feature.
Blitz Royale, a fast-paced, 32-player version of regular Battle Royale matches that only last for five minutes, was added to the game last month. But what was sure to be a limited-time game mode could potentially stick around for good.
In a new social media post, Epic Games announced that “four more weeks of updates” are on the way, with the first beginning on July 15.
The developer also teased that new abilities, locations, like Mega City, and surprise collaborations will be dropping over the next month.

With Epic Games extending the Blitz Royale, players are curious to see if this means the game mode will become a permanent fixture of the popular online shooter.
“I love Blitz, it should definitely remain permanent. Wonder if it’ll come to FN as a permanent mode for next season,” one user said on the game’s subreddit.
It seems that the developer is already considering it, because earlier this month, it released a poll on X / Twitter asking fans what changes they’d like to see besides “make Blitz permanent”.
