Fortnite’s Chapter 3 Season 3 update has added plenty of new features to keep players hooked in the upcoming months. With the expansive new season spanning over 15 weeks, there’s no doubt that Epic Games has more than a few surprises coming toFortnite. Teased by the appearance of an enigmatic creature overlooking Reality Zero as the Loopers party their worries away, it’s clear that Epicis building to something big once again, and that this season marks the calm before the storm.
With such threats on the horizon, players may not be anticipating big updates that aren’t story and season-related. Moreover, followingthe introduction of Zero-Build Modelast season, players would be forgiven for thinking another game-changing addition toFortniteis a while off. However, recent leaks suggest this may not be the case.

In a post by the prolificFortniteinsider @HYPEX, they reveal a first-person mode in-game. HYPEX shares that with the new update, Epic is now working on a first-person mode forChapter 3 Season 3, though they state that it’s very early in development and that there are no more details at this time. A screenshot shows a legacy version of the game featuring a character holding a weapon in front of them, overlooking some fighting in the distance.
HYPEX expresses that this addition “would work REALLY well for the Zero Build Modes,” as games that are focused entirely on shooting could be enhanced with a closer field of view. As Zero Build Mode added sprinting, vaulting, and improved sliding, a new first-person mode would bring the game more in line withother Battle Royales likeApex LegendsandPlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. It’s unclear how a first-person mode would function in the Classic Build Mode, however, as the speed of building would be heavily impacted by such a feature.
In the replies, user @nellaf links a video from June 2020, showing off the supposed leak in full. The clip itself is from a few seasons ago, explaining the legacy UI present, and it is covered in Portuguese text. As such, it’s highly unlikely to come from a developer source, instead originating from a player’s bugged or modded game. While it’s possible that the image HYPEX shared was lifted from the clip to serve as a visual aid supporting a verified source, it’s possible that this debunks the rumor. This wouldn’t be the firstunsubstantiated rumor surroundingFornite’s new season, though only time will tell if this leak is accurate.
