That would be <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-chapter-4-season-2-news\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite chapter 4 season 2<\/a>, which is launching later this week.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the iconic battle-royale game will not need to be told that this is a massive game changer if true. The popular multiplayer title has always been seen from a third-person perspective, and the option of getting inside your avatar\u2019s head (literally) could absolutely alter the way we look at the game (literally).<\/p>\n<p>The developers from Epic Games have been known to throw out their own rulebooks from time to time. For example, the game was initially centred around the concept of building and destroying structures, until the developers released the <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-removes-building\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Zero Build<\/a> mode \u2014 removing those functions entirely for players that didn\u2019t want them \u2014 in March 2022. Perhaps, for some reason, March has become the month for major game-changing updates!<\/p>\n<p>Much like the addition of Zero Build (which was kept in the game as an optional mode after its initial launch), the option to experience Fortnite from a first-person perspective would make the game appealing to a whole new set of players.<\/p> <p>After all, first-person shooters (also known as FPS games) are one of the most popular genres in gaming. Third-person shooters aren\u2019t for everyone, but Fortnite seems to be on a mission to attract as many players as possible, tearing down any and all barriers for entry (lest we forget that Fortnite is free to play and you can even play it on mobile devices via <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-xbox-cloud-gaming\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Xbox Cloud Gaming<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Before we get too excited, though, it is worth remembering that this is just a rumour at this stage. Epic Games doesn\u2019t tend to announce its big new ideas until the very moment they go live in the game, and you should always take anything from a third-party source with a pinch of salt until it does or doesn\u2019t get confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>And so, what\u2019s the actual source for this story? Well, a number of Fortnite \u2018leakers\u2019 claim to have heard from \u201cthe same reliable source\u201d that first-person mode is \u201cfinally\u201d coming to the game in its next season. These prolific Fortnite prognosticators, tagged in the Tweet below, will be very familiar to fans of the game. The Tweet also shows what this mode could look like!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Fortnite&#8217;s First Person mode is finally coming in NEXT SEASON \ud83d\udd25<br\/><br\/>The same reliable source confirmed it to me &amp; <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShiinaBR?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">@ShiinaBR<\/a>, and now <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/GMatrixGames?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">@GMatrixGames<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/iFireMonkey?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">@iFireMonkey<\/a> got confirmation from their side too. <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/SASj2E6TRS&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/SASj2E6TRS<\/a><\/p>\u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/HYPEX\/status\/1631821256688300033?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">March 4, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/>\n<p>Oftentimes, it feels like Fortnite leakers predict things with scary accuracy, with the people backing this theory including some of the most reliable names on the scene.
