According to the early patch notes, Fortnite update 11.50 will introduce a brand new physics system.
“Beginning with the release of the 11.50 update in early February, Fortnite will be moving to Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics system,” Epic explains.
“At launch, the goal is to ensure that Fortnite still feels like Fortnite. Along the way there will be some bumps, so we’re starting tests with a small group of players. We’ll also closely monitor feedback and make improvements over time.”
Epic has also announced plans to launch a big season ending event, which is rumoured to centre around the imminent Birds of Prey movie.
