Even though season eight is coming soon with tons of changes, not all of them are happy. Epic Games has revealed that the Fortnite planes will be put in the Vault with the release of season eight. This is rather surprising as most vehicles in Battle Royale stick around past the season that they are introduced in but this isn’t the case for the Stormwing planes.
The news of the removal of the Fortnite planes came out during the Reddit Ask Me Anything thread with the developers today. At one point in the thread, a Reddit user asked if planes will be gone in the next season. Epic Games Design Lead responded to the question and let the user know that they are removing the Stormwing vehicle in season eight.
Fortnite Planes Will Be Vaulted in Season 8
This is worse still since season eight releases next week so the time to keep using it is small. Season eight will likely begin on Thursday, February 28, 2019. Players have until around then to keep using the Fortnite planes. This is unfortunate news since other vehicles like the golf cart are still around the game.
It is possible that the Fortnite planes are something that is just meant for season seven. Or, perhaps, there will be a new vehicle coming to the game that will take the place of the Stormwing planes. We now have the drift board but that will likely only stick around for a short period of time.
Here’s hoping that players will get a new vehicle to replace the Fortnite planes like perhaps the return of the jetpack. We won’t have to wait too long to see as season eight kicks off next week.
