During 2019, Epic Games held two events overseas in regions where the game is one of the more popular ones.
With Fortnite opens in both Japan and Australian, these events were seen as a great success; a good way to get content creators to represent Fortnite and a good cause for charity as well.
Recently, the second iteration of the Fortnite Australian Open was announced, this will be the second time the event is hosted and we already know a lot of information about it!
Let's take you through everything we know about the Fortnite Australian Open!
