The developer revealed the Secret Skirmish event today in a blog post. The tournament will be a two-day invitational from Feb. 14 to 15 with a $500,000 prize pool. The event will feature “top players from each Open Fortnite competition held so far,” according to Epic.

The tournament location hasn’t been announced yet, however—Epic only said that it’ll be held at “a classified, undisclosed testing facility.”

“You can expect the same high-powered matches as TwitchCon and PAX, but also expect us to explore additional… operations… during the two days of competition,” Epic said.

Epic’s blog post also claimed that the Secret Skirmish event will be used to help prepare the broadcast team for the highly-anticipated Fortnite World Cup later in 2019. More details about the Secret Skirmish and Fortnite World Cup could be revealed soon, too, according to the blog post.
