Original Story

The Playground Limited Time Mode or LTM that Epic Games introduced into Fortnite Battle Royale quickly became a major hit with the community, as the ability to create custom matches and do whatever players wanted without the fear of other players fighting them was a welcomed addition to Fortnite.

However, the first iteration of the Fortnite Playground LTM was not a permanent addition to the game, but the positive reception of the game mode prompted Epic Games to announce that the Playground LTM would return to Fortnite as a permanent game mode in the future with some major changes. Now, it has been revealed that the return will be on Wednesday, July 25th. 

Epic Games announced on the official Twitter account for Fortnite that the highly anticipated return of the Playground mode would take place on July 25th and that the full set of changes that have been made to the Playground mode of Fortnite will be available in the v5.10 patch notes.

This new version of the LTM will be bringing the ability for players to put themselves on different teams, which will likely be a welcomed addition to the mode for competitive players, the addition of the Season 5 vehicle of the ATK and the implementation of all of the new loot items that Epic Games has added into the battle royale game since the departure of the Playground LTM. 

Also expected to be included in the v5.10 content update and patch notes will be the addition of the recently announced Compact SMG legendary and epic weapon and the major buff that the Slurp Juice healing item will be receiving. With the return of the Fortnite Playground mode and other major content changes, this week is shaping up to be one of the very best for Season 5 of the battle royale title.
