In case the addition of planes last week didn't provide enough new stuff to occupy your time in Fortnite, today Epic has teased the addition of swords to the game as part of Season 7. As with the turnaround on all things Fortnite, it's likely we'll see swords added to the game in an update coming very soon.

The trailer above is pretty much all we know about swords—it'll be interesting to see how they fit into the game. We've seen blades become a popular fixture in Destiny, for example, because let's face it: it's never not fun to twat an opponent with one, no matter which game you're playing.

No doubt our resident Fortnite expert James will have something to say on swords in Fortnite, and how players are making use of them. He did just that with Fortnite's stunt-friendly planes last week.

Fortnite Season 7 will last two weeks longer than expected so the developers can take a winter break—in the run-up to the holidays, though, the rate of new stuff still seems pretty breakneck. We'll keep you updated on when swords land in the game.
