Fortnite’s Season 2 Chapter 3 has put Epic Games’ iconic battle royale game in a strange position in many ways. For starters, the depiction of an all-out war between two of the game’s factions isn’t being received well in light of the recent world events.<\/p>\n

Epic is, however, committed to donating all of Fortnite proceeds<\/a> from 20th March 2022 to 3rd April 2022 to humanitarian relief for people affected by the war in Ukraine and has managed to raise $36 million in just 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The other bizarre change in Fortnite’s Season 2 Chapter 3 is the removal of the building mechanic<\/a> from the game, which, although Epic claims is in-line with this season’s narrative, still feels unnecessary, given its gameplay significance. All of this begs a question, “When will building actually return in Fortnite?”<\/p>\n

As of this writing, there’s no official confirmation on when building will actually return in Fortnite though notable Fortnite insider Hypex suggests that it will be back in a week. Since Fortnite’s latest season kicked off on 20th March, you may expect it to be back on 27th or 28th March. <\/p>\n

Industry-wide speculation suggests that Epic is testing the waters for a potential no-building mode in Fortnite. It’s no surprise that everyone doesn’t like or use building in Fortnite; however, it’s also no denying the fact that it’s a game-changer mechanic exclusive to this battle royale game.<\/p>\n

It’s important for Epic Games to cater to both sides of the audience to ensure Fortnite’s longevity, and, as such, it would make sense if it ends up making the “no-building” mode permanent outside of a regular mode that has it.<\/p>\n
