There has been no official confirmation by Epic Games regarding what exactly the new group of content for the popular battle royale game will consist of.
However, the in-game news section of the battle royale title has been update to state that a new shockwave grenade item will be "coming soon" to the game. This has led to much speculation from the Fortnite community that the new content will include the new shockwave grenade item.
The shockwave grenade item was previously leaked by dataminers when the v5.30 patch was implemented into the battle royale title from Epic Games.
It is important to note that Epic Games could decided to postpone the release of the shockwave grenade for a later date and that it is not confirmed to be a piece of the upcoming v5.30 group of new features and items for Fortnite on August, 28th.
With no downtime required for the highly anticipated v5.30 content update for Fortnite, players will be able to immediately jump into some matches and see what the new update has brought to the battle royale game and use it in their quests for more Victory Royales.
