Epic Games has confirmed that a highly anticipated gameplay feature, or at least its proper implementation, is coming Fortnite sometime early next year. On Twitter, through the Fortnite Status account, Epic Games recently admitted it “missed the mark” when it added an option to disable pre-edits with update 15.10 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Pc, Nintendo Switch and Mobile Battle Royale Game.
Beyond this admission, Epic Games notes that it knows that many players find pre-editing unnecessary and would like a setting that removes the option to edit a build until it’s in place. To this end, it intends to “adjust the institution early next year”.
Unfortunately, this is where the tweet ends, and so far no follow-up details have been provided, making it unclear exactly what changes will be made and when they will happen in early 2021. Typically early next year refers to the period from January 1 to April 1, but of course it is also inherently a fairly subjective term.
We understand that we missed the mark by adding an option to disable preprocessing in the 15.10. We know many of you find preprocessing unnecessary and want a setting where you cannot edit a build until the build is in place. We plan to adjust the setting early next year.

While many notable details are still missing, many players of the free-to-play Battle Royale game are already getting excited about its highly anticipated feature and communication from Epic Games, which had a long line of horrible communication with players not that long ago.
You are doing better than before, listening to the community 💙🦑
