Epic Games has unveiled an exciting new addition to Fortnite OG—the Expert Duos mode. This fresh gameplay variant eliminates AI-controlled bots and disables skill-based matchmaking, offering a more unpredictable and challenging experience for players. The announcement comes alongside intriguing hints about potential major narrative shifts in the Fortnite universe.

The recent rocket launch event in Fortnite OG surprised players when a red butterfly—a stark departure from the game's traditional blue variants—interfered with the proceedings, creating a massive red rift in the sky. This unexpected development has sparked intense speculation within the community about possible timeline divergences or parallel universe scenarios.

The newly introduced Expert Duos mode maintains the classic Fortnite OG map and loot pool while creating a more authentic battle royale experience by removing artificial elements. Players will now face opponents of varying skill levels, reminiscent of the game's original matchmaking system before the controversial introduction of SBMM and bots.

Epic Games continues to expand Fortnite's gameplay options, with Blitz Royale recently adding two new variants: Pure Chaos (featuring enhanced siphon mechanics) and Six Stack (allowing six-player teams). The developers have hinted at potentially introducing additional team size options in future updates.

In other exciting Fortnite news, the game will soon feature a collaboration with renowned streamer Ninja, who will be crowned as the Blitz Boss. Starting August 2, players can access new mythic items including Ninja's Trash Launcher and Get Good Shotgun. Owners of Ninja's Icon skin will receive a complimentary Blitz variant.
