During the last chapter, we were able to see some leaks of things that were coming during the current season. Some leaks showed The Witcher collaboration and even Dead Space’s crossover. Yet, one of the things that caught the attention of many was the possibility of a first-person mode in Fortnite. This stayed quiet for away until today’s update. Data miners have found some files that point to a possible first-person mode coming to the battle royale. This could be something huge as some gamers prefer to play with that perspective. It still remains to be seen if it’ll happen sooner or later but, the files are there and that’s huge.
Future updates could include a first-person mode in Fortnite
While Fortnite is known more for its third-person camera that lets players see their skins and emotes, a first-person mode wouldn’t be bad. Many battle royales have this type of camera, and Fortnite joining the ranks of that wouldn’t be bad. It has worked on other titles, and it would definitely work on this one. Especially now that the game upgraded to a new engine. Epic Games might be working on this already, and here we think it could arrive in the next season.
Here's our first look at what First-Person will look like once it comes to the game later this year 🔥
What you see in this video is obviously a bug, but the final product probably won't look much different.

While the files are there, we should all take this with a grain of salt. Files point out many things but sometimes these ideas get scrapped at the last minute. However, if the first-person mode arrives in Fortnite, we can see it having a lot of success. The game’s already huge, and it has attracted a lot of people. With the no-build mode, many more players are able to jump in and have some fun. Plus, the crossovers, events, and even concerts that the game hosts are amazing. While some other games are closing down, Fortnite will continue leading the market as the #1 battle royale out there.
