Epic Games has announced that it plans to hold its first major face-to-face competitive Fortnite event since the Fortnite World Cup in 2019 in November.
The upcoming event, the FNCS Invitational 2022, will take place on November 12 and 13 at the Raleigh Convention Center in North Carolina. “We will invite a host of top FNCS players from around the world who will have the opportunity to compete in a single lobby and get a share of the $1.000.000 prize pool,” Epic wrote in a blog post by the “Fortnite Team.”
However, the company emphasizes that player health and safety is "the number one priority for any event," and says it "may reschedule the event if public health trends change or regional laws or recommendations change at any point in time."
It's unclear if Epic is planning some sort of Fortnite World Cup for 2023. The 2019 version of this event, the first and only Fortnite World Cup to date, was a three-day event with a $30 million prize pool. But in April 2020, Epic said there would be no World Cup due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Epic has continued to host online Fortnite competitions, but the announcement of the FNCS Invitational 2022 shows that Epic is looking to host in-person tournaments once again.
Fortnite is nearing the end of its current season and has a big in-game event scheduled for June 4.
