Fortnite has announced a brand new game mode for Fortnite in the upcoming v8.20 update this week.

The mode is titled Arena and seems to be some form of Ranked mode. Players have been wanting a ranked mode for a while, so maybe this is finally it! Maybe we'll see the spectating feature come into play this week also.

The update will also feature a new Floor is Lava LTM, which was announced yesterday.
