Co-op sandbox survival video game, "Fortnite" has continually attracted more and more players despite its early access status. These fans will be glad to know that video game developer, Epic Games, will be releasing more content and updates for the game before the year ends.

On Epic Games' official website, where one would usually find patch notes, they released a promising statement entitled "The Future of Save the World." Save the World is one of the game's modes that recently had issues that were fixed in an update a few weeks ago. However, even with the update, there are still some adjustments that players wish they could implement in the game.

This is exactly what these players will see in the company's statement. Epic Games listed a few new features that make things more convenient for the game's players. They acknowledged gamers' frustrations with the confusing user interface and equally confusing game features.

They quoted some Reddit users' comments about the game, and they said they were happy to consider the suggested improvements. One of the most popular ones would be having RNG (random number generator) for almost everything they get. To address this, they will be implementing an Event Currency Store where players can buy event items directly instead of getting gear from a llama.

Additionally, instead of just having to stick with heroes having low stats that the RNG gave players, they can evolve them. This new Hero Rarity Evolution feature allows players to evolve the ordinary gray or common heroes to up to orange or legendary. However, they did not state yet what will be needed to do so.

Lastly, they also added a few more minor but very useful features, including being able to access inventory anywhere, a collection guide, and a quest map guide. Except for the quest map guide, all of these new features are expected to be available by December.
