To accommodate a greater audience, some video game developers strive to add both view perspectives in separate modes. However, some popular shooter games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Call of Duty have always hosted first-person camera modes only.

Fortnite’s popularity is well-known to its fans and beyond. However, people who prefer a first-person shooter will rather stick to playing Apex Legends or Call of Duty. It is possible that Epic Games wanted to bridge that gap!

A popular Fortnite informant of the name HYPEX has revealed an in-game picture of what looks like Fortnite in first-person mode. According to him, Epic Games commenced working on a first-person camera mode for Fortnite when the update for Season 3 kicked in.

Hypex also mentions that there is no further information to validate the leak. The leaked in-game picture shows that the presumed first-person mode is still in early development, as he explains.

The Zero Build mode in Fortnite is basically what its name suggests. It is a tactical, fast-paced Battle Royale and has everything Fortnite Battle Royale has, except building. As a result, a first-person mode in Zero Build would definitely make it more immersive.

Some things could certainly become a bit off with a first-person camera mode. For example, Fortnite has intriguing player skins and in a first-person mode, players wouldn’t be able to view their costumes. It could be a setback for many fans.

Moreover, a considerable section of the community suffers from motion sickness. They would definitely not like a first-person camera mode.
