Below, we'll run you though everything that's happening in the world of Fortnite this week, Season 7 Week 8.

Something else that we expect to see revealed this week is the August Crew Pack and skin.

Last month saw a pretty exciting one - Loki from the Marvel Universe to celebrate the release of the Loki show on Disney Plus - so hopefully August's will be just as cool.

It's also time to start looking forward to the next update of Season 7. There hasn't been many this season, but we should be back to the regular schedule now.

If we're back to an update every two weeks, we should start hearing details on 17.30 over the coming days, with it releasing early next week.

We'll keep you up to date with all the details as and when we can.
