Epic Games has slyly hinted at significant movement updates coming our way in the next patch, turning heads and sparking curiosity across the gaming community.

Since the advent of Chapter Five, season one, players have not held back on expressing their discontent with Fortnite's new movement animations. The initial promise of "more fluid and detailed" animations may have sounded promising, but the reality was a noticeable slowdown in movement, leaving players yearning for a change. Epic Games, however, has not only acknowledged these concerns but has managed to do so in a manner that harks back to one of the most memorable moments in streaming history.

In a surprising move on Dec. 18, the official Fortnite X account teased the upcoming patch, highlighting that Epic has been diligently working on various gameplay enhancements. While not explicitly stating that movement changes are on the horizon, the post featured a GIF with a cheeky caption: "I'm not seeing enough movement."

The clever nod to Ninja's infamous New Year's Eve fiasco in 2018 added an extra layer of amusement. For those who might have missed the viral incident, Ninja tried to rally a Times Square crowd to join him in the 'floss dance.' The broadcast captured moments of willing participants, but Ninja's attempt to amplify the excitement fell short, creating an unforgettable and amusing moment.

As the community eagerly awaits the impending patch, the specifics of the movement changes remain shrouded in mystery. Epic Games has hinted at a goal to enhance speed while retaining the current animations, striking a balance between fluidity and player feedback. The highly anticipated balance and gameplay patch is scheduled to land in Fortnite on Dec. 19, with downtime set to commence at 4 am ET.
