Why Epic Extended Blitz Royale
All opponents start with the same Medallion or unique weapon on a small map, meaning everyone has the same advantage. This balanced approach, combined with the fast-paced format, has resonated strongly with players seeking quick gaming sessions.
The overwhelming positive feedback from the community prompted Epic Games to break their usual rotation schedule for limited-time modes.

Epic Games is planning to bring in new collaborations as part of this extension, though specific details remain under wraps. The gaming community is already speculating about potential Marvel crossovers and other major franchise partnerships.
