Fortnite developer Epic Games has decided to cancel the 2020 Fortnite World Cup due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In a series of tweets via its @FNCompetitive account, the company provided a new road-map with plans for the rest of 2020.
“Due to the limitations of cross region online competition, there will not be a Fortnite World Cup in 2020.” All tournaments, including the ones at third-party events, will instead be online until further notice.
