![Fortnite Battle Royale - Timeline of items, events, and more](/content/images/2019/02/battleroyale.jpg)
Fortnite Battle Royale has been out for a good amount of time now and we thought it'd be nice to look back on what has happened so far, summed up with a (probably long) timeline of events. We'll likely come back and change this post pretty frequently to keep it updated, feel free to pester @imkairu on Twitter if it falls behind.
Some things may be missing due to how much has happened, comment if you think there's something worth adding.
