Fortnite Mobile Debuts Blitz Royale Mode

• Fortnite introduces a brand new Blitz Royale game mode.
• Experience intense, five-minute matches on a condensed map against other players.
• Collect unique power-ups and weapons while earning exclusive rewards.

Following its highly anticipated mobile comeback—now available again on the App Store in the US and the EU via the Epic Games Store—Fortnite is reclaiming the spotlight. The clear center of Epic's focus is the newly launched, mobile-first Blitz Royale Mode.

Blitz Royale is essentially a streamlined, fast-paced take on Fortnite's classic battle royale. Matches last roughly five minutes, every player begins with an identical medallion (called Boons) and a special weapon, and a significantly smaller map ensures you're rapidly pushed into intense combat as the storm circle closes.

You can dive into Blitz Royale as a solo player or with a squad of four. As expected, securing more eliminations helps you level up faster and gain greater power. Be on the lookout for Golden Chests and Supply Drops to secure a serious competitive edge.

Returning to Mobile

While Epic is bringing Fortnite back to mobile under the most favorable circumstances possible, the extended absence has likely impacted its presence for some players. This is especially true with so many excellent alternatives available to satisfy their battle royale cravings.

That's precisely why Blitz Royale serves as Epic's pitch to players who now prefer faster-paced matches, aiming to draw them back into the Fortnite community. With a wealth of fantastic rewards and cosmetics available throughout June and July, it's almost certain to attract a wave of returning fans.
