Fortnite is getting a mysterious new High Stakes event next week
Because Fortnite wouldn't be Fortnite if it didn't find a way to to be enticingly enigmatic at least once every couple of days, Epic has teased a mysterious new High Stakes event, due to begin some time next week.
All we know about High Stakes so far comes from a tweet that Epic posted earlier today. "Suit up", it said, before revealing that the event would consist of several different components: a new limited-time mode titled Getaway, special High Stakes challenges, and the new Wild Card outfit - which, let's be honest, is pretty damn swish.
So what can we glean from all that, and the proliferation of playing card iconography? Well the obvious assumption would be some kind of casino/gambling theme - although that does seem a rather odd, given Fortnite's legion of young fans. The name Getaway, meanwhile, sounds like we might be nudging closer toward the realm of heist caper - although goodness knows how that might fit into Fornite's usual Battle Royale shenanigans.
