Epic Will Hold Off On Releasing Game-Changing Fortnite Updates Before Big Tournaments.

Описание: It’s been less than a year since Epic Games kicked off the competitive circuit for Fortnite, but the company says it’s learned enough to make a substantial change to how it balances the consumer version of the game with the one played by pros at big tournaments. In an announcement on its website, the developer says it will now leave a window of time, somewhere between a few days and one week, for players to acclimate to a new update, one that could include game-changing new items, vehicles, weapons, or environmental changes to the map.


“We value the ability of players to adapt to the game changing over time. We also believe these changes keep Fortnite fresh for everyone including players, competitors and spectators. However, we want to provide reasonable time for you to adjust strategies following large gameplay impacting changes, for example prior to official Fortnite competitions,” the developer explains.

This new policy will take effect with the upcoming Australian Open tournament, which Epic says will use only the core battle royale modes for Fortnite. “Fortnite will continue to update every week, however for major, official Fortnite competitions we may adjust for competitive needs,” the post concludes.
