Recent leaks related to Fortnite hint that “Minigames”might soon become a key feature within the game. Although elements similar to minigames have appeared in Fortnite before, they have never been formally integrated as a mainstay. Speculation suggests that this change could occur at the beginning of Chapter 7, which is anticipated to launch sometime in 2026, possibly following an extended Chapter 6.
This intriguing information was disclosed by prominent leakers and data miners, notably @Krowe_moh and @notkrae. Renowned veteran leaker @HYPEX also shared the findings on social media platform X, lending further credibility to the news.
Potential Features of Fortnite’s Upcoming “Minigames”
According to the leaks, several exciting “Minigames”are slated for inclusion in Fortnite Chapter 7. Initial suggestions include classic games such as bowling, Jenga, and beach volleyball. However, it’s likely that this list will expand as only introducing a handful of minigames does not wholly capture the potential engagement they could generate.
Launching with a limited selection allows Epic Games the opportunity to gauge player reactions and preferences. This feedback will be essential in refining the mini-experiences based on community input.
While details on the complete roster of minigames remain unclear, it is noteworthy that their development has been in progress for two years. The delays are primarily attributed to the postponed Physics Update associated with Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).
Now that development on UEFN is resuming, the reinvigorated focus on these minigames could signal a pivotal direction for Fortnite’s future. Given that Chapter 7 is expected to harness the capabilities of UEFN, this phase in Fortnite’s evolution could be groundbreaking, assuming development proceeds smoothly.
Notably, these minigames could also incorporate experience points (XP), likely linking them to the current PlayTime XP system. This connection would not only engage players but also provide a competitive edge in trying these new features. Furthermore, it is anticipated that many minigames will promote cooperative play, enabling players to compete or collaborate for high scores.
There is also the possibility that these minigames might be integrated into the existing Fortnite map in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes, offering a refreshing change of pace from the traditional combat scenarios.
As of now, this is the extent of the information available regarding the upcoming minigames. We can anticipate further developments and insights emerging during Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3; with speculation suggesting the “Force”set to have a profound impact at that time.
