New weapons like the Prop-ifier – introduced last week – keep things interesting in Fortnite Season 7. Meanwhile, Epic Games seems to make decisions that spark controversy constantly.
Fortnite players enjoyed an in-game concert by Ariana Grande as part of the Rift Tour event, continuing the trend of major crossovers. Unfortunately, we did not get the crossover we were hoping for.
While all of this is happening, Epic is still bringing new content to the game, including a new Imposter Mode in the 17.40 update.
Here are the full Fortnite August 17 update 17.40 patch notes:
Among Us (aka Impostor Mode) is here
For weeks, Epic Games has hinted at a new game mode, and it has finally arrived in the form of Impostor Mode.
Agents of the Imagined Order are tasked with protecting The Bridge by completing various missions that have been assigned to them.
The Order is under attack from within by impostors who have disguised themselves as members to take the organization down. Reminds you of something?
Epic warns us, “Trust no one,” and developers are not particularly happy among us.
