There won't be any in-person events in 2021 for Fortnite

As we are officially in the last month of 2020, it's time to wrap things up and prepare for the new year. Therefore, Epic Games decided to give us an update on what we can expect about Fortnite in the coming year.

It turns out, no physical events are planned for Fortnite in 2021. Everything will be held online in the foreseeable future.

Since we all know that Covid-19 has affected a lot of schedules, releases and plans, also considering the pandemic is still ongoing, social distancing is still much needed. As a result, the situation we are in right now might not change in a short time.

"Our intent is to eventually hold global in-person tournaments again, but our priority for any such event is the health and safety of our players and staff. With so much still unknown about what is practical and safe, we do not plan to hold in-person events in 2021, including a Fortnite World Cup." Epic wrote in the blogpost. "We will continue to provide online competitions throughout 2021 with the hopes that physical events, in some form, can return at some point in the future."

There you have it. It's not ideal, but seems to be the most reasonable decision for now. Regarding other Fortnite news, such as details about FNCS, tournaments and Chapter 2 - Season 5, you can check here.
