Fortnite: World Cup 2020 is canceled – News

By announcing the $ 100 million stake for the first competitive season of Fortnite, the Epic Games studio had set the tone. The goal was to make Battle Royale an important title on the competitive scene in order to further engage its community of nearly 250 million players worldwide.

Last year, the World Cup thus represented the high point of this first year of competition. The best players in the world had been invited to New York for a big show that had gathered more than two million spectators online. Unfortunately, this much-awaited meeting by fans will not be able to take place in 2020, due, you can imagine, to the current health crisis. In fact, Epic Games is currently considering a new Esport plan for this year, knowing that all offline events will be converted to online meetings.

We don't know when we will return to a large, global, offline event, but we hope that we can regain some form of Fortnite World Cup in 2021.
