Competitive Fortnite players have to wait another week for this season’s Fortnite Champion Series.
Fortnite Battle Royale’s seventh seasonal FNCS competition has been delayed one week, the developers confirmed today. Citing a ‘tournament queue bug’ that resulted from the game’s latest patch, Epic Games is not taking any risks going into Fortnite’s multi-million-dollar flagship event. Although the exact issue is unclear, it appears significant enough for Epic to postpone the commencement of FNCS Chapter 2 - Season 5.
