Players who excel at Fortnite Creative death runs now have their time to show off their skills. From May 4 at 9am ET until May 11 at 9am ET, gamers can submit their best time on the Creative Mayhem website. The top qualifying performers will be invited to participate in a special event alongside the Creators they selected. The top players will then play under one of eightFortnitecontent creators in a fight to reach the finals. Following the qualifiers, one Creator and their community will go on to represent their region or country in the Creative Mayhem Global Finals for a prize pool of $264,000. The qualifying rounds and Global Final take place in late May, putting it around the same time as the Finals forthis season’s FNCS tournament.
WhileFortnite’s Creative Mayhem is an all-new mode, recent documents reveal Epic has even more of them in the pipeline. The Epic Games vs. Apple court hearings are finally underway, with a leaked court documentrevealing a potential open world mode. The document revealed information related to plans for a new type of map, codenamed “Sandbox.” With no word from Epic Games, fans have begun to theorize that “Sandbox” could be working on an open-world version ofFortnite’s even lesser-played PvE Save the World mode, which has struggled to remain popular compared to the Battle Royale mode’s immense popularity.
The new Creative Mayhem LTM should be a fun way for players to try something outside of the game’s typical offerings. However, some players may not want to deal with the hassle of uploading YouTube videos just for a competition submission. The regular Battle Royale mode should be plenty interesting currently, asthe Tactical Shotgun and Infantry Rifleare now back in the game.
Fortniteis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
