Epic Games is officially rolling out jetpacks for Fortnite Battle Royale players today, so you’ll soon be able to look as cool as Sean Connery did in that bit from Thunderball. Only, well, you will actually be flying and not trying to look serious in front of an obvious green screen.
Jetpacks arrive on the scene slightly later than expected, and come as part of Fortnite update 4.2. The item will be available from 12.00pm BST (8.00am EST), though fortunately won’t be accompanied by any server down time.
The arrival of jetpacks in Fortnite has been something of a long running joke, as the feature has been touted since February but always seemed to end up getting delayed.
Strap in and blast off with Jetpacks in the v4.2 Content Update.
Available tomorrow, May 22 at 8am ET (1200 GMT). No downtime.
