Fortnite introduces new limited time mode with 5 teams of 20 players

An Exciting New Limited Time Mode Coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale

An in-game message has announced the arrival of the next limited time mode in Fortnite: Battle Royale, and it’s all about big squads.

The upcoming mode, called Teams of 20, is exactly what it sounds like. It will feature five teams of 20 players competing against each other, similar to the previous 50-vs-50 mode, but with more teams and fewer players on each team.

While the 50-vs-50 mode was chaotic, Teams of 20 is expected to offer a bit more controlled chaos. Recent quality of life changes, such as the ability to see all 19 of your teammates on the map at once, will make the experience more enjoyable.

It will be interesting to see the strategies employed by teams in this mode. With five massive teams spread across the map, players will have to decide whether to stick with their team or fight alone. Will they play aggressively or team up with others to build massive forts?

Previous limited time modes in Fortnite included snipers, legendary weapons, silenced weapons, and more. The Teams of 20 mode is expected to go live within the next week.

Update: 9:40am CT, March 7, 2018

Epic Games has confirmed that the new limited time mode will be released tomorrow, March 8, and a brand new trailer has been released to build excitement.
