Fortnite's jetpacks delayed, Epic launches Twitch Prime exclusive cosmetics and heroes
If you've been keeping up with your Fortnite news this week, you'll know that developer Epic has been teasing a new jetpack item - said to be coming to the game "soon".
Well, it looks like "soon" won't come quite as quickly as either fans or Epic itself might have hoped. The developer has told PC Gamer that jetpacks, which were apparently due to launch this week, will now "lift off at a later time" as a result of "a last minute design issue".
However, Fortnite players won't go empty-handed as a result of the delay. Epic will be releasing a new Hunting Rifle weapon in place of jetpacks, and is also teasing a "new, lucky point of interest on the map". It seems likely both of these will arrive as part of Fortnite's 3.1.0 update which, according to the game's Twitter feed, will launch on Thursday, March 1st.
