Hello competitive Fortnite players:
On behalf of everyone on the team, we hope you are enjoying Chapter 2 - Season 5! As we wind down 2020 and head into 2021, we wanted to give you an update on what you can expect competitive Fortnite play to look like in 2021 and beyond.
Our intention is to host world tournaments in person again, but our priority for such an event is the health and safety of our players and staff. With so much still unknown about what's practical and safe, we don't plan on hosting in-person events in 2021, including a Fortnite World Cup. We will continue to offer competitions online throughout 2021 with the hope that physical events of one kind or another may return at some point in the future.
FNCS will continue through 2021 and we are leveling the group size from FNCS to Trios for the foreseeable future! Although lines are a constant at FNCS, we can always change the scoring and / or ranking formats season by season. Our hope with this change is to give more stability and consistency to the FNCS.
FNCS Chapter 2 - Season 5 is scheduled to debut on February 4. This date gives players ample time to adjust to the new season and give our team more time to make adjustments before playing FNCS. We will have more detailed information on FNCS as February approaches.
FNCS will be the constant measure of success in competitive Fortnite, but we are looking for other avenues for high level competition in 2021. Beyond our biggest competitions, in 2021, we are preparing a schedule with more weekly tournaments, unique tournaments and Creator Cups throughout the year. There will be plenty of competitions (not just trios!) To scratch the competitive itch between FNCS seasons.
We'll be watching some of the new gameplay mechanics in Chapter 2 - Season 5 and how they work on competitive playlists. With competitive playlists, the new bar system will reset players to 0 bars at the start of each game, and these bars cannot be carried over between competitive games. We are still discussing ideas to further implement this system in competition, without negatively impacting the game. We will be paying special attention to your feedback this season with this new mechanic.
Thanks to everyone who competed this year! We look forward to what the future holds.
