Once the team had established a vision to bring extraction/collection into the season - we knew the best way to serve that vision was a fresh map! Having new gameplay systems + a fresh map is a recipe we couldn't get away from! It helps to have a badass art and design team that can do the impossible everyday!!!
@ECLIPS_VC@Dreckerr is the right guy to ask this to!
Last I heard, it was because the devs wanted competitive matches to start with "0 power" whereas the Sprite system levels up over the course of several matches and gives you an advantage before you drop in.
Sprites are the all-new core gameplay system of this BR season.
We'll have a few videos releasing over the next couple of days to share more about how Sprites work!
@HYPEX We appreciate the leaker communityโs enthusiasm SO much, but the team is also extremely proud to deliver hidden surprises to entertain millions of people that love Fortnite.
On to many more!!! ๐ค
