The Fortnite 19.20 update is almost here, and we couldn’t be more excited! Some sleek new content will soon drop, including The Foundation skin, a brand-new Covert Canyon POI, and much more.
The Foundation skin will finally arrive as a playable skin after months of teasers and in-game battles. Also, the upcoming POI could definitely change Fortnite Chapter 3’s map entirely.
We’ve compiled a cool list of everything you need to know, including the Fortnite v19.20 update downtime details.

A brand-new POI called the Covert Cavern is set to air soon. Initially, this location was expected in the previous update.
