Fresh leaks from Fortnite Season 17 have revealed new artwork for a mysterious playlist that has convinced fans that an open world mode is on the way.
When Fortnite first launched, it did it with Save The World and nothing else. Soon the battle royale component was added to the game and took the gaming industry by storm. Nowadays, this is what this hugely successful game is known for.
But this is subject to change as recent leaks have shown that something entirely new is in the works.

Now brand new art has slipped through the cracks, implying this open-world-style mode could be coming soon.

Fortnite files have new skins for the mode. This illustration shows four characters standing together with a variety of weapons in their hands, apparently ready to fight off an incoming attack.
