Summary
Fortnite’s new Runners season is set to become playable later Thursday night, adding extraction-style gameplay to the battle royale.
Sprites are the mode’s key mechanic: players can find the creatures for powers during a match, then extract them to earn a special currency.
That currency lets players start their next run with a sprite already equipped, giving the season a carry-over progression loop.
Runners also brings in a comic book-style John Wick, while Epic tests a format gaining traction through extraction shooters such as Arc Raiders and Marathon.
