Set to take place later this year at A-Kon 2018, the event will present an open opportunity for players to come test their Fortnite prowess at the Fort Worth Convention Center this spring.

Set to run between June 8 and June 10, the OpTic Arena Battle Royale is but one event hosted at the upcoming A-Kon 2018 anime convention.
