Fortnite Is Getting Jetpacks

Are you ready to fly?

Epic has announced its hugely successful free-to-play game, Fortnite, will soon be getting jetpacks.

The announcement was made via an in-game notification. Details are sparse, as the update simply reads, "Jetpack (coming soon): Take the fight to all new heights."

Jetpacks are coming to Fortnite!

Given how Epic typically handles announcements for the game, which are usually the week before an update goes live, we may see players soaring across the map as soon as March 9. The image also sports a yellow background, which could mean jetpacks may be a legendary drop, but Epic has yet to officially reveal all the information about the item.
