Worth noting is the mood over on the Save The World Fortnite Reddit, where the community is unhappy over Epic’s new roadmap for the co-op mode. Why? “You will notice this is a lighter update than usual for a ‘.00’ release for Save the World – we’re shifting to a less frequent cadence, but aiming for more meaningful updates as a result,” Epic writes. “This allows us to diverge from shipping features around Battle Pass launches and release them in a more polished state.”
The players seem unconvinced. “The game is back, BR got a massive flashy cut-scene that seamlessly transitioned in to game play; dozens of new features, skins reworked profile machanics,” one popular thread argues. “And STW got, for having the game cut off from them for a day and a half involuntarily… Literally a half hearted apology and a Hero Ticket.”
