Fortnite Leak Teases Major Changes to Blitz Royale Mode

A new Fortnite leak suggests that Epic Games may soon remove bots from Blitz Royale, potentially reshaping the fast-paced mode entirely. The change appears tied to a new team-based variant currently in development, which could let players squad up in teams of six instead of the standard four. This leak comes as Fortnite continues its Chapter 6 Season 3 rollout, which recently introduced iconic DC characters like Robin and Superman into the game.

🚀 Blitz Royale: Fortnite’s Fastest Battle Royale Experience

Since its debut, Blitz Royale has emerged as one of Fortnite’s most-played modes, offering a quick, action-packed match format that wraps up in just five minutes. Key differences from the classic battle royale include:

• 32-player lobbies instead of 99
• A smaller map built from classic Fortnite locations
• No building mechanics, increasing combat intensity
• A fast-moving storm that forces constant engagements

Originally designed for mobile, Blitz Royale now supports full crossplay across all platforms and has become a fan favorite due to its pace and simplicity.

🤖 Bots Out, Bigger Teams In?

According to prominent leaker Loolo_WRLD, Epic is considering removing bots from Blitz Royale in a future update—specifically for the upcoming 6-player team mode. While this change hasn’t been confirmed by Epic, it aligns with other recent leaks hinting at larger squad formats across multiple game modes.

This report follows another leak from Loolo_WRLD, claiming Epic is working on an entirely new game mode to accommodate bigger group play, suggesting a broader shift toward more cooperative formats in Fortnite’s future.

⏳ Blitz Royale Extended, More Updates Incoming

Though originally intended to be a limited-time event, Epic recently extended Blitz Royale by four weeks, a move that hints at long-term plans for the mode. The developer also promised weekly content updates, which could include new weapons, items, and map locations, further enhancing replayability and variety.

🔥 Fantastic Four Crossover May Be Coming

Adding to the excitement, another leak points to an upcoming MCU collaboration, with skins for Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Human Torch possibly launching in conjunction with the Fantastic Four: First Steps movie on July 25. While not officially confirmed, several trusted sources expect the crossover to arrive around the film's debut.

With new content, experimental modes, and major crossovers on the horizon, Fortnite continues to evolve—and players have plenty of reasons to stay excited for what’s next.
