Fortnite first-person mode could "finally" launch next season

radiotimes.com:

Rumour has it that Fortnite could be getting a first-person mode as part of the game's next season. That would be Fortnite chapter 4 season 2, which is launching later this week.

Fans of the iconic battle-royale game will not need to be told that this is a massive game changer if true. The popular multiplayer title has always been seen from a third-person perspective, and the option of getting inside your avatar's head (literally) could absolutely alter the way we look at the game (literally).

The developers from Epic Games have been known to throw out their own rulebooks from time to time. For example, the game was initially centred around the concept of building and destroying structures, until the developers released the Fortnite Zero Build mode — removing those functions entirely for players that didn't want them — in March 2022. Perhaps, for some reason, March has become the month for major game-changing updates!

Much like the addition of Zero Build (which was kept in the game as an optional mode after its initial launch), the option to experience Fortnite from a first-person perspective would make the game appealing to a whole new set of players.
