Epic Adds Proximity Voice to Fortnite Battle Royale in New ‘Delulu’ LTM

Players need voice chat set to Everybody to join the social, alliance‑driven experiment.

Overview

  • Epic confirms early access for selected creators on September 18 and a wider launch on September 19.
  • Delulu enables nearby opponents to talk and form on-the-fly alliances, explicitly allowing behavior that is normally disallowed in standard playlists.
  • This marks the first use of proximity voice in a Battle Royale‑style playlist after previous availability only in Creative and UEFN islands.
  • Joining requires switching Voice Chat to Everybody via the in‑game Compete tab, according to Epic’s instructions.
  • Leaker reports indicate the playlist uses Zero Build rules with up to 80 players, operates on weekends, and lacks formal squad‑invite mechanics.
