[2019] The Block and Featured Hub Changes

Hey Creative Developers,

Reading through your comments during the launch of Fortnite Chapter 2, we've heard from a number of you who are disappointed that The Block will no longer be part of the BR map. We have been amazed and inspired by all of your contributions to The Block and recognize that many of you have been working on submissions right up until today.

Based on your dedication and feedback we have decided to make two changes to our plan. The first is to trial the fifth portal as an Artistic Showcase. The portal will be used to feature The Block and other artistic design submissions. No unnecessary memory limits and no gameplay consideration is needed, just wonderful artistic pieces. Submit yours on the content submission form! The cadence for this portal will be flexible and we’ll adjust how it’s used based on community feedback. We will start by featuring prior Block submissions.

The second is to allow the creator of the Featured Hub to select one map to spotlight for the length of time their hub is featured. We’ll still be choosing our regular four maps and the creator’s choice will be available in a sixth portal. This choice will need to follow the same rules we use for featured maps.

Keep up the amazing work. You continue to inspire us!
