Fortnite, the battle royale shooter that has only been third-person for its entire existence, will be introducing a first-person perspective later this year.

While the majority of the most popular shooters out there, like Call of Duty or Apex Legends, use a first-person perspective, Fortnite has always opted for a third-person one. That'll definitely be partially because Epic likely wants you to see all those skins that you've either earned or paid real money for, but that hasn't stopped some wanting a first-person mode. Well, if you're one such person, you'll be happy to hear that the massively popular shooter will be adding in first-person into the game, though it's unclear just how it will be featured just yet.

Epic Games hosted a talk at GDC 2024 earlier this week titled the State of Unreal, where it showed off a bunch of changes coming to Unreal Engine. As you can see in the video above, around an hour and six minutes in, Epic offered a first look at what first-person will look like in-game, and yeah, it sure does look like first-person Fortnite! What wasn't confirmed, though, is whether first-person will feature in any of the main modes, or if it will be just limited to the game's Unreal Editor.
