Insights on Blitz Royale, the latest game mode in Fortnite unveiled
In a thrilling turn of events, Epic Games has announced an extension for the popular Fortnite Blitz Royale mode, keeping it alive until August 12, 2025. Originally scheduled to end on July 15, 2025, this extension promises players additional weeks of weekly themes and varied loot pools.
The upcoming themes for Blitz Royale are generating a buzz among fans. Confirmed themes include the Avatar: The Last Airbender, Boss Week (Bad Bosses), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Melee Mayhem, Jujutsu Kaisen, Mortal Kombat, and Dragon Ball, each introducing unique character sets and weapons.
Each week in Blitz Royale, the theme changes every Tuesday, bringing new power-ups, shield bubbles, and themed weapons/items. These additions bring variety and excitement to the fast-paced, 32-player, five-minute matches on the small Blitz Royale map, which features nostalgic locations like Pleasant Park and Retail Row.
With the extension, fans are speculating that Epic Games may consider making Blitz Royale a permanent feature, depending on player response and ecosystem impact.
Blitz Royale offers two rewards: the Blitz Knight outfit for earning 10 account levels or placing in the top 10 players in 20 matches, and the Blitz 'Brella glider for winning three times. The mode is a no-building, 32-player battle royale, played on a mini Fortnite map, where every player starts with bubble shields and weapons specific to the current week.
The mode features 12 medallions in total, split into four categories: offense, movement, healing, and wildcard. Boons, found in golden chests, also give players powers, albeit less extreme ones. Golden chests always spawn in the same spot and contain better loot than regular chests.
In Boon Bonanza week, the most likely weapons to get are the Suppressed Pistol or Hyperburst Pistol, with a smaller chance of getting the Shockwave Hammer. Every player starts with the same medallion, which grants powerful abilities. Every time a player gains a Blitz Level, they obtain either a boon or a weapon, often the most powerful weapons in the game.
Aggression is rewarded in Blitz Royale, as the faster one kills enemies, the faster one levels up and gets better weapons. Players can find better items in Blitz Royale through chests, supply drops, and llamas. The best way to learn one's favorite weapons is to play and play aggressively.
The Blitz Royale map includes locations from Fortnite's past, such as Pleasant Park and Retail Row. Three supply crates drop from the sky every match, each containing an extra medallion. Golden chests remain in the same spots every round.
With the extension, fans can look forward to more exciting weeks of Blitz Royale, filled with new themes, varied loot, and intense battles. So, gear up and get ready for the action!
