Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite's Save the World mode will not be transitioning to a free-to-play model this year after all.
To be fair, you probably wouldn't be blamed in forgetting that Fortnite had a paid-for mode in the first place. Battle Royale is free, and is pretty much the biggest thing in video games right now, leaving Save the World largely in its shadow.
It's not all bad news, though. If you fancy giving Save the World a test run, you can soon take advantage of a 50% discount on the Standard, Deluxe, Super Deluxe, and Limited Founder's Packs.
'Save the World has grown consistently since our launch in July 2017 and Fortnite overall has experienced unprecedented growth,' said Epic. 'Scaling up for the legions of player heroes who will be joining the fight is key to providing an excellent experience. This applies to all of our players, old and new, so we're taking the time to get this right.'
The developer also revealed that it will be launching some Halloween-themed content for Save the World soon, including the Skull Ranger Ramirez and Brainiac Jonesy heroes. To get them, all you have to do is fire up Save the World during the spooky Fortnitemares event.
Meanwhile, Fortnite Battle Royale was recently updated with a new vehicle in the shape of the Quadcrasher.
