Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8: Sliding movement to feature in the game soon

One of the reasons behind Fortnite's immense success is the developer's intention to constantly update the game's features. Since 2017, Fortnite has been one of the most popular battle royale games in the community.

Even though the quality of content dropped significantly in the past, Epic was quick to pull up its socks. As a recent example, the developers rolled out the much-needed Alien-themed season last time to rejuvenate the essence of Fortnite.

The developers aimed to keep up the excellent work in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8, and the reintroduction of Cubes only solidifies the claim.

Recent Fortnite leaks indicate that the developers are working diligently to introduce a new "sliding" movement to the game. According to the reports, the FOV will increase by 15 while sliding, and gamers will experience a camera shake to portray more realistic gameplay.

The "sliding" movement won't be available constantly as it has a cooldown of 2 seconds.

The prospect of having the sliding movement in Fortnite is quite promising and will come in handy during face-to-face combat. Players are pretty excited about the contents of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8, and the new leak will undoubtedly fan the flames.

The data miners have revealed no definite release date, as the developers are currently working on this new movement feature. Fortnite Season 8 went live only a few days ago, and therefore, the possibility of the sliding movement coming into this season is quite high.
