In a recent post, the developers updated the community about the future of FNCS and competitive play in 2021. Even though Epic Games aspired to organize an in-person tournament, it would have risked the health of its players and staff. As a result, the upcoming Fortnite World Cup 2021 had to be canceled.
“Our intent is to eventually hold global in-person tournaments again, but our priority for any such event is the health and safety of our players and staff. With so much still unknown about what is practical and safe, we do not plan to hold in-person events in 2021, including a Fortnite World Cup.”
