Butcher79
Fortnite Update 17.40 is on the way, and it should bring a number of cool features to the Island, including the new Imposter mode, the introduction of Wonder Woman, and more. Here we have a description of innovations.
Season 17 of Fortnite has been filled with content. So far we've had kidnapping mini-games flagship of the UFO flotilla , Incredible Tour with Ariana Grande concert and most recently the long-awaited arrival Superman .
But that doesn't mean Epic Games are slowing down. In fact, according to insiders , version 17.40 has more files/assemblies than version 17.30, which included a concert by a popular pop star, so there should be a few important things on the way.
Here's everything we know about version 17.40 so far, including downtime details and new features you'll be able to enjoy when it goes live.

Fortnite 17.40 Update Notes
Imposter Mode
Last week, Epic Games hinted at a new mode in Fortnite that was rumored to be called "Imposter Mode". Judging by the teasers, this is related to Imagined Order, and we will be looking for the impostor.
Some have speculated that this may have something to do with recent rumors about crossover with Among Us , especially because of the name. We'll just have to wait and see what this mode will entail.
We know for a fact that this is related to the Fortnite story, so we might see some pretty big story-related revelations in this mode.
The coral fortress will be stolen
It's been teased for a while that the Coral Fortress location will be hijacked and it looks like it's finally about to happen as a new map revealed in a recent FNCS stream showed Fortnite POI looking very different...
If this follows in the footsteps of the recent Nectar Hollow heist, players can expect to see the main building in the center of the area being stolen, as well as some of the smaller buildings that surround it.
Coral Castle will be the next abducted POI!
