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:
- Fortnite Ballistic is the battle royale's first 5v5 FPS mode coming in just a few days, and it's aiming for a piece of Counter-Strike's pie
- Fortnite's permanent OG mode will preserve "some of the rough edges" from the classic battle royale era, but certain quality-of-life improvements have also made the cut

"Oh, this could be a BIG update," said one, whilst another just exclaimed: "IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!"
Don't forget, Doctor Who may be on the way to Fortnite, complete with "two skins, two Pickaxes, one Glider, and one Emote" in the Item Shop.
