Fortnite's latest new mode, Battle Royale, will be free to play when it launches on September 26.

All players across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC will be able to download the 100-player PvP mode for free. Check out the new gameplay trailer for Battle Royale below.

In Battle Royale, skydive onto an island arena, scavenge for weapons, run from an encroaching electricity field, and fight your way through 99 other players to victory, similar to a round of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

For IGN's thoughts on Battle Royale, be sure to read our detailed preview of the new mode. And for more on Fortnite, which will have an official release next year, read about the PS4 and Xbox One cross-platform play that was accidentally featured this past weekend.
