Epic Games have announced new details about the upcoming $500,000 Secret Skirmish competitive event for Fortnite Battle Royale.
As its name would suggest, Epic had not been really forthcoming about the event after initially announcing it just after the start of the new year.
However, on January 25, they revealed a lot of details all at once, including the full schedule, list of competitors, competition formats, the prize pool breakdown, and more.
The competition is set to take place over a two day period from February 14-15 with four separate events to take place, with the main one being the $400,000 Solos event on the 14th.
$75,000 will be up for grabs in the Duos competition set for February 15, and an additional $25,000 in prize money will be spread across two more events for which the details continue to remain a secret.
The format used in the Secret Skirmish will be very similar to past Fortnite events. There will be a scoring system that will be determined by match placings and eliminations:
