In September of 2025, Epic Games introduced Fortnite Delulu mode, which became a fan-favorite gameplay experience. In it, players used proximity chat to form alliances and collect teammates as they went, but only a few could actually win.
However, according to a new leak, the mode was vaulted at the onset of this week and is probably not going to return to active playlists. It’s not clear why Epic did this, other than the simple fact that it was a limited-time mode not meant to stick around forever.
According to leaker ShiinaBR, Delulu has officially been vaulted. It is “permanently” removed from the game. It was reportedly always an LTM (limited time mode) by Epic, but it’s gone for good now. After just four months, players will no longer be able to link up with randoms in their solo games.

This particular mode allowed for a totally unique experience every single time since players could choose to join or leave teams as the game went on. It functioned similarly to Among Us in that people could lie their way to victory and backstab their fellow players.
Things that are vaulted can come back. Epic Games vaults and unvaults things, game modes and all, whenever they want to. However, some things do enter the vault and don’t come back. The Avengers LTM from 2019 is a good example.
However, that was a collaborative mode that featured licensed items, so it’s a little bit different. Delulu is just Battle Royale with a wrinkle, so it could come back. If there’s enough demand, Epic may one day add it to the playlist permanently.
The use of “permanently” in the leak is noteworthy, though. It is probably best not to expect Delulu to come back.
Fortnite is always introducing new game modes, some of which end up as permanent staples of the game. OG, Zero Build, Creative, Rocket Royale, Blitz, and others are now playable at any given time, keeping the limited-time nature of LTMs out and allowing them to stick around.
Delulu was only available for a few months (and only on weekends for much of that time). While it did last longer than most LTMs, it was still limited.
