According to some of the most prominent Fortnite leakers out there, Epic is working on an open world mode for Fortnite that involves NPCs and wildlife.

Of course, it would also make sense to introduce the first-person view, which was also leaked some time ago, with this mode.
As always, it is important to take the rumors and speculations with a grain of salt until they are officially confirmed. However, considering that a lot of the leaks come from the legal battle between Epic Games and Apple, it's very possible that the rumors will come true.
