Fortnite FPS release date: here's when to expect Ballistic Mode

techradar.com:

Fortnite first person mode is set to launch very soon indeed, after years of rumour and speculation. It's called Ballistic and is essentially a Search and Destroy mode, set on a brand new map.

Fortnite just launched its newest Chapter. We're now in Chapter 6 Season 1, which is titled Fortnite: Demon Hunters . It adds a whole new map to explore, new Hitscan weapons to master, as well as a Battle Pass filled with new skins and rewards. Not only that, but Fortnite OG is back, allowing players to jump back into the very first season, with a classic loot pool, and map.

Now that a brand new season of Fortnite has launched, there's a completely fresh map to try out, and the return of hitscan weapons. As part of the Demon Hunters update, there's a new Battle Pass to work through as well. It's regular refreshes like these that have cemented Fortnite onto our list of the best free games to play in 2024.

Here's everything you need to know about the Fortnite FPS release date, as well as fresh info on the new Skyline 10 map. As this is going to be an early access launch, there will likely be plenty more on Ballistic in the coming months. Once we hear more, we'll be sure to update this page.

Fortnite's first-person mode launches on December 11, 2024. This is an early access launch, and is, for now, limited to one map and mode. It's likely that as this new mode progresses, we'll see more added in the future — but there's no official word on that yet.

The best place to keep up on specific updates closer to the launch of the new season is the Fortnite Status Twitter account. We'll be sure to keep this page up to date as well.

Fortnite Ballistic Mode will have one map when it launches into Early Access on December 11, 2024. It's called Skyline 10 and can be seen in the image embedded above. By the looks of things, Skyline 10 is a futuristic city setting, akin to something like the Mega City POI from Fortnite Chapter 4. It's much more detailed than anything you'll find in battle
