Fortnite update v7.20 – release date revealed and Drift Board expected

The date for the next Fortnite patch has reportedly been revealed by the game’s executive producer, during discussions with FaZe Clan’s Cizzorz. 

Multiple sources suggest that the pair have been discussing the upcoming v7.20 update to the battle royale game, and it’s expected to drop between January 15 and January 16. 

With so many different bugs in the game right now – whether it’s gameplay issues, like those affecting X-4 Stormwing planes or Fortnite bugs affecting some skins in the game – it will be interesting to see what Epic Games changes in this next patch. 

It is understood that any exchange between the pair is likely to have been about Fortnite’s new Creative mode. Reason being, Cizzorz is the creator of some very popular maps and it’s likely that he would have been expressing his concerns about the game mode as it is right now.
