Not a shock at all. Save the World will no longer be F2P in 2018 as originally stated (for the longest time).
Battle Royale is so popular that it's easy to forget that Fortnite: Save the World, Epic Games' original vision for the game.The PvE mode was supposed to get some new life by joining in Battle Royale as a free-to-play mode this year, but that move has now been pushed into 2019.
"We decided to move the free-to-play launch of Save the World out of this year," explained Epic in a news post. "We’re working on a broad set of features, reworks, and backend system scaling we believe are needed to go free-to-play. Save the World has grown consistently since our launch in July 2017, and Fortnite overall has experienced unprecedented growth.
"Scaling up for the legions of player heroes who will be joining the fight is key to providing an excellent experience. This applies to all of our players, old and new, so we’re taking the time to get this right."
