Leakers later claimed that the Fortnite cars feature would be arriving as part of update 13.30 on July 21.
However, when that Fortnite patch was deployed and cars weren’t added to Battle Royale it was thought the feature would be arriving a few days later.
It seemed all but certain that Fortnite cars would get added on July 23 alongside a cars-specific challenge that had leaked.
This challenge which was pencilled in for Fortnite season 3 week 6 was ‘gas up a vehicle at Catty Corner’.
But when these challenges went live this cars-themed task was nowhere to be seen, with Epic Games later teasing the cars launch was a few weeks away.
On Thursday July 23 the official Fortnite Twitter posted: “Our lawyers are currently sweating the policy details and fixing typos like ‘otter coverage’ instead of auto coverage. Due to this, many vehicles got taken for inspection.
“Expect a few weeks until we’re road ready.”
