A popular Fortnite leaker has claimed that Epic Games will be removing the longstanding fan-favorite game mode Team Rumble after its upcoming update goes live on June 18.

Epic Games recently revealed that it will be debuting a fresh game mode in Fortnite called Blitz Royale on June 18. According to the announcement, Blitz Royale was specifically designed for mobile, though it will be accessible on all platforms. It will also feature full crossplay, which means gamers can play with anyone anywhere. The mode only supports 32 players and promises fast-paced matches that can be completed in five minutes. Leakers have suggested that the mode will receive weekly updates and could include collaborations with major properties like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Dragon Ball.

Epic Games reveals new details, a trailer, and Twitch Drops for LEGO Fortnite Expeditions.

Epic Games outlines what players can expect to experience when they dive into the new LEGO Fortnite Expeditions game mode on June 18.

In a recent post on Twitter, the prominent leaker HYPEX revealed that Fortnite is removing another game mode on June 18, but this time it’s Team Rumble. They claim that Team Rumble will be replaced by a training ground game mode that features unlimited respawns and only takes place in one location. While it’s unlikely this training ground will allow players to complete quests (which Team Rumble often did), it will encourage gamers to practice their skills in a low-stakes environment. HYPEX also claimed that the mode won’t include builds, which means the focus will primarily be on shooting.

The community has had a mixed reaction to the news. In a recent post on Reddit, CalmSalamander8668 claimed that even though they didn’t play Team Rumble, they loved it anyway. Some players jumped in to say that they did play the game mode fairly often to help with Fortnite‘s quests, while others claimed that they hadn’t touched it in quite some time.

While players are certainly losing a significant game mode on June 18, Epic Games is releasing a wide variety of new content on the same day. For instance, it was recently revealed that Fortnite Ballistic will be receiving a major update that includes fresh weapons, gadgets, and a new shell map called K-Zone Commons. Epic Games will also be launching Season 9 of Fortnite Festival, which will feature Bruno Mars as its headliner. Gamers will also be receiving a new game mode called LEGO Fortnite Expeditions, which offers an action-packed PvE experience for up to four players. With so much content to enjoy and even more on the way, many fans are still feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
