What Did Fortnite Epic Dev Actually Say?
The tease didn’t come from a dataminer or leaker — it came directly from EpicTofuChris, the Director of Game Development for Fortnite. Under an X post announcing the return of the Endgame LTM, a fan asked about the Floor Is Lava mode. Chris responded with “When do you want it? Phoning a friend,” and tagged fellow Fortnite dev K.L. Smith. NewsX That’s basically a confirmation wrapped in a question mark.
What Is the Floor Is Lava LTM?
Floor Is Lava is a classic playground concept brought to life inside Fortnite. First introduced in Chapter 1 Season 8, the mode featured rising lava that consumed the entire map — leaving only player-built structures as safe zones, making it one of the most popular LTMs in Fortnite history. NewsX
