What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

It's coming to PC (Steam). Rock Paper Shotgun reported it, and PC Gamer is on it too. When it's Fortnite, the story leaves the bubble on its own. The previous Fortnite trailer came out 21 days before this story. Now we find out whether the delivery matches the hype. Hot off the press — the kind of news that gets the community going.

Bottom line: Safe to take the main point — it's the fine detail that sometimes shifts later.
