Epic Games cancels Fortnite World Cup, moves competitions online for 2020

Epic Games has announced that the Fortnite World Cup, scheduled for July 2020, will be cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

In addition, all competitions are moving online for the rest of the calendar year. That includes Fortnite Cash Cups, the Fortnite Champion Series, and all third party events.

The Fortnite World Cup made mainstream news last summer as Epic Games put up a then-record $30 million (£23.8 million) in prizes for the solo and duo events. With all competitions moving online, the cross-region nature of the World Cup made it impossible to hold this year.
