There are new
release notes on the Epic Games website for a new version 1.6.3 patch that's
now live in
Fortnite, their early access survival game. This adds the game's new
Battle Royale mode, which
they admit
is inspired by
PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS, though this confession has not
prevented
backlash over the similarities. Here's
word on this free mode:
It’s time for everyone to drop out of the Battle
Bus and into Fortnite Battle Royale as the mode goes free on PlayStation 4, Xbox
One, PC, and Mac with the release of the 1.6.3 patch tomorrow (Sept. 26). Gather
your squad: four-player and two-player groups are here. Along with squads, we’ve
added three new weapons and supply crates that drop from the sky during the
match containing valuable items and weapons. This patch also includes a full
Battle Royale balance pass, bug fixes and more.
For those out there Saving the World in PVE, we fixed a number of campaign bugs
among other improvements. We’ll be talking more about the Horde Bash update for
Save The World later this week, but if you missed the early look at the update,
you can check out the latest dev video

& Zak’s roadmap forum post
