Is Fortnite getting a first-person mode?

Of all the major battle royales, Fortnite seems to be the only one without a first-person mode. But will that change soon?

Although Fortnite started the battle royale super craze, the game has remained in a third-person perspective since its debut. Many of the titles that followed, like Warzone and Apex Legends, opted to change things up with the more immersive first-person perspective.

Fortnite works perfectly in the third-person perspective and is a convenient way to take advantage of the game’s building mechanics. But in newer modes like Fortnite Zero Build, there’s certainly less of a case for leaving things as they are.

According to various Fortnite leakers, Epic Games is working on a first-person mode for Fortnite. In fact, evidence of this was allegedly found in the game’s files shared by leaker Shiinavia AyeTSG.

If you’re wondering what it’s going to look like, the leaker managed to get an idea by mistake. “Here’s our first look at what first-person will look like when it launches later this year.”

The perspective looks a little rough as it was achieved by mistake, but it gives a little glimpse of how the feature will feel.

In other Fortnite news, Epic Games has added a second wave of Dragon Ball cosmetics. Players can now purchase Gohan and Piccolo outfits in the item shop. The collaboration also marks the return of Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud.
