Fortnite Blitz Royale might be here to stay longer than anyone expected. Some recent leaks hint that this faster-paced battle royale mode could be extended all the way until 2027, which is kinda wild if you think about it! Originally launched in June as a shorter, more intense version of the classic Fortnite experience, Blitz Royale caught players’ attention with its smaller map and distinct gameplay twists.
According to a leak from ShiinaBR on X, some quests for Blitz Royale now have expiration dates set in 2027. If this turns out to be true, Epic Games might be planning to keep the mode alive for at least two more years. However, since there’s no official word yet, it’s best to take this info with a pinch of salt. After all, leaks don’t always pan out. He also said that it could get tournaments, too.

What Makes Blitz Royale Different?
For those who haven’t tried it yet, Blitz Royale offers a Zero Build map that’s much smaller than the usual Fortnite battleground, hosting only 32 players per match. Every player starts with a random Medallion or a distinct weapon. The goal? Level up your Blitz rank by knocking out opponents and surviving the storm’s deadly circles. Leveling up grants access to stronger weapons and cool power-ups, while Golden Chests and Supply Drops add some extra loot excitement.
Oh, and if you’re curious about the map, Blitz Royale recently got a new location called Mega City, which adds a fresh vibe to the gameplay. Plus, there’s a rumor floating around that next season might bring back the mud system, which sounds like a fun twist. Who doesn’t like a little mess, right?
So, what do you think about Blitz Royale possibly lasting until 2027?
