Epic Games has teased that "a new way to grab the Victory Royale is coming" to Fortnite.

Whilst the announcement is pretty taciturn, the developer posed a single question - "will you rise through the ranks?" - and shared a 20-second teaser that looks to be taking us through the icons that will presumably be associated with each rank. 

Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that the community thinks a Fortnite Ranked mode is finally on the way – check out the announcement for yourself in the tweet below:

The news has been met with thousands of responses from Fortnite fans, most of whom have expressed their delight at the announcement.

"Oh, this could be a BIG update," said one, whilst another just exclaimed: "IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!"

ICYMI, Fortnite Creative 2.0 has added the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. This public beta allows players to make greater changes in Fortnite Creative mode by editing with a new version of the Unreal Engine toolkit, as part of Fortnite's transition to the Unreal 5 engine.
