Fortnite is often the topic of conversation in the Epic vs Apple court case and thanks to it, we often get some leaks and data. Now it was revealed that Fortnite is planning an open-world survival mode. A new leaked image called project "Saturn" has been data-mined.

Just when you thought Fortnite couldn't do more, it... does more. Apparently, Fortnite is simply the game that is all games, because thanks to court documentation it was now revealed that Epic Games are working on an open-world survival mode, but this is old news and a new leak has indicated that this open-world mode could be more than a rumor.

What We Know About Fortnite's Open World Survival So Far

According to the official documentation, Epic Games is working on an open-world survival game mode. But not a ton of details were said about it during the court case. We didn't get much more than an "open-world simulation sandbox". An open-world sandbox survival mode in Fortnite with all these licenses and all collaborations skins would be pretty amazing, right? This was back in early May, but a new leaked image gives us a little bit more to chew on.

Is that a mage's staff? Are we looking at the classic Tank-Healer-DPS formula used in nearly every RPG and MMO on the market? My DnD senses are tingling! Some kind of Fortnite RPG game mode would be so sweet and very refreshing.

If you are not sure about the validity of these claims, then how about this: First of all, this came up in court, so it's not exactly a mere Twitter leak. Also, the same documents revealed that Fortnite Crew was planned all along under the label of 'The Club'. We all know that Fortnite Crew is a thing now, so it's just a matter of time until we can start hooping and sandboxing in Fortnite, meaning that Fortnite will officially become the game to end all games. To end this, HYPEX is pretty spot on in terms of leaks, and they post stuff that has a good chance of coming to the game.
