Because Fortnite wouldn’t be Fortnite if it didn’t find a way to to be enticingly enigmatic at least once every couple of days, Epic has teased a mysterious new High Stakes event, due to begin some time next week.
All we know about High Stakes so far comes from a tweet that Epic posted earlier today. “Suit up”, it said, before revealing that the event would consist of several different components: a new limited-time mode titled Getaway, special High Stakes challenges, and the new Wild Card outfit – which, let’s be honest, is pretty damn swish.
So what can we glean from all that, the Scarface allusions, and the proliferation of playing card iconography? Well the obvious assumption would be some kind of casino/gambling theme – although that does seem a rather odd, given Fortnite’s legion of young fans. The name Getaway, meanwhile, sounds like we might be nudging closer toward heist caper – although goodness knows how that might fit into Fornite’s usual Battle Royale shenanigans.
