[2018] Heroes in Upcoming Winter Event

Hope everyone is enjoying 7.0 in Save the World!

As mentioned in our previous State of Development, we have a new Hero System in the works! We wanted to take a moment to share some information regarding upcoming Heroes. All of the new heroes arriving before the Hero Loadout redesign will be reskins of currently available ones. However, once it launches, you’ll find that every one of these Heroes adds a unique benefit.

Creating reskins of the current classes is only a temporary measure to give us more time to focus on making sure the new system is in top form - we want to deliver a great personalized gameplay experience once the feature launches early next year.

Additionally, we’ll be updating all the members of Steel Wool to “Mythic” rarity, and they will be getting unique perks and abilities once Hero Loadout goes live!

We appreciate your patience as we put the finishing touches on this new redesign!

Stay Frosty Fortnite Fans!
