Next Fortnite Update: Fortnite is going to be releasing an update very soon. With all this new season hype what we know for sure is that there are new features coming. Fortnite will also introduce map changes and continue the storyline. We’ll also tell you about when is the next Fortnite Update coming out.
Players across the world are awaiting this next update more than ever. Since Season 7 was a really good one. The next season is going to be even better. There are a lot of rumors and leaks that reveal a lot about the next Fortnite update. Let’s know a bit more about the new Fortnite update 17.20.
What to Expect from the Next Fortnite Update?
Fortnite 17.20 update will have a lot of new features, skins, map changes coming to it. However, we are only speculating and predicting about the update. We can’t confirm any of these changes coming to Fortnite soon.
That being said the information is from some trusted data miners of Fortnite. This includes HYPEX, ShiinaBR, iFiremonkey, and XTigerHyperX.
New Features for the Next Fornite Update:
According to HYPEX, Fortnite has been working on this for a while now. HYPEX revealed that this was back in the 17.00 update and Fortnite is still working on it. This will be quite a handy feature since players always have to replace their weapons in the slot they use them.
Epic is most likely working on a setting to automatically place items types in the slot that you want, for example when you pick up a shotgun it’ll automatically place it in slot #3 or whichever you want. A “Preferred Slot Item Type” feature is being worked on since 17.00!

HYPEX expects it to be in the game very soon. The Preferred Item Slot will hold the following weapons:
- Assault Rifles
- Shotguns
- SMGs
- Snipers/Bows
- Grenade Launchers/Rocket Launchers
- Consumables (Shields, med-kits, bandages, etc)
- Throwables/Usables (Grenades, Alien Nanites, etc)
If this will be a new feature for the Next Fortnite Update it will be a lot easier to manage weapons during the game. It will also be interesting to see how they manage two weapons of the same type as well.
Other features also include a separate profile for your Epic Games account. This information is from iFiremonkey as well.
New Skins for the Next Fortnite Update:
ShiinaBR is suggesting that we can see a new Carnage Skin in the very next update from Fortnite. She retweeted mentioning that Carnage is going to be a part of the new Venom movie. She has proofs of some of the rumors for the new Fortnite update:
RUMOR: 15 hours ago, a post was published by a moderator on the subreddit r/FortniteLeaks claiming to have insider information about upcoming things in Fortnite.
The source who provided the insider information apparently leaked a LOT of information about Season 6 correctly. pic.twitter.com/MzKfU2wqVw

As ShiinaBR says this source also leaks a lot of information from Season 6 which was correct we can expect this information to be correct as well. Even so, she mentions some of this can’t be completely right since it exaggerates a lot of info.
Some of the new skins that are in the Battle Pass and Story trailers are not here yet. These can also be added with the next update. We also have trusted leaks about the Ariana Grande Fortnite Skin.
New Batman One-Shot Comic Series:
The Fortnite/Batman Zero Point issues were just so good. And to top it all off, Fortnite is now bringing us the Fortnite Batman One Shot Comic. This is going to be a 48 page long non-stop Fortnite/Batman action series.
You can also expect a ton of new skins from this comic itself. Maybe Fortnite can even bring some of the storylines from the comic in the new season. Clark Kent has also been in the game files for a while now. You can expect him to come in the next update.
Bug/Glitch Fixes:
The major bug/glitch fixes you can expect from the following update are:
- The Inflate-A-Bull glitch (players having their head showing out even when using the item)
- The Alien Parasite back-bling glitch (Many of the back-bling changed their appearances with the parasite on the head)
- Gold Bars count reset glitches (Players can’t collect any more gold bars and are stuck with 0 bars)
When is the next Fortnite Update Coming out?
According to XTigerHyperX we can also see the next Fortnite 17.20 update during the next week. HYPEX is also expecting the update to drop by the next week. So, we will be expecting the next update from July 20th to anywhere until July 25th.

So, you can expect a downtime during the next week. The next update of Fortnite will drop during July 2021 itself.
Fortnite Season 8:
The Fortnite new season will be soon coming on 13/09/2021. The season will start after a break of a few days from Season 7. So, until then you can enjoy the current Fortnite update of next week. But, the trailer will tell us a lot like for Season 7.
Overall, this Season 7 was a real banger. There were tons of new skins and events. Including the Cosmic Summer Outfits and events. We also saw a customizable skin(Kymera). Alien Artifacts, Alien Nanites, Inflate-A-Bull and so many other new features and items were introduced.
This is also why we are expecting yet another huge upgrade of Season 7. With even more features(Preferred Weapon Slot upgrade), skins (Ariana Grande, Naruto), and bug/glitch fixes. We will update you about all further Fortnite news so keep following us for more.
