A new game mode is coming to Fortnite soon, check out more information on Fortnite Horde Bash:
The Epic Games team has been amazing at keeping interesting events active constantly in Fortnite. As the Survive the Storm event winds down–in addition to the PvP Battle Royale mode having just launched–Epic is teasing what’s coming next. Survive the Storm will be ending on October 2 at 2 AM EDT, but the Fortnite Horde Bash update will be quickly replacing it. Posting on their blog, Epic threw out some hints for what players can expect, which going by the title and feature bullet “hordes of husks,” seems like a horde mode to me.
Fortnite is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
