Fortnite's finally getting a ranked mode
Epic Games has teased that "a new way to grab the Victory Royale is coming" to Fortnite.
Whilst the announcement is pretty taciturn, the developer posed a single question - "will you rise through the ranks?" - and shared a 20-second teaser that looks to be taking us through the icons that will presumably be associated with each rank.
Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that the community thinks a ranked mode is finally on the way – check out the announcement for yourself in the tweet below:

"Oh, this could be a BIG update," said one, whilst another just exclaimed: "IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!"
