Epic Games mengumumkan PHK yang berdampak pada lebih dari 1.000 karyawan pada tanggal 24 Maret, dengan alasan penurunan keterlibatan Fortnite yang menyebabkan pengeluaran melebihi pendapatan. CEO Tim Sweeney mengungkapkan penyesalannya dalam sebuah posting blog, seraya mencatat bahwa pemutusan hubungan kerja tersebut, bersama dengan penghematan biaya lainnya sebesar lebih dari $500 juta, akan menstabilkan perusahaan. Staf yang terdampak akan menerima paket pesangon termasuk setidaknya empat bulan gaji pokok dan perpanjangan layanan kesehatan.

Epic Games has officially announced a collaboration between Fortnite and South Park, set to launch on January 9, 2026. The event features skins of main characters in mech suits, a remodeled Cartmanland area, and a new five-player mode. A free mini-pass will allow players to earn cosmetics during the limited-time crossover.

A recent leak indicates that Fortnite may soon introduce a Gulag-like system called Restarter Island, allowing eliminated players to compete in minigames for a chance to respawn. The feature draws inspiration from Call of Duty: Warzone's unique mechanic. Leakers describe various 1v1 challenges, though details remain in early development.
