"100 Thieves presents Bank Heist, an exhilarating new game mode launched within the Fortnite platform that pushes the boundaries of online competition and strategic teamwork. The game launches worldwide on PC, Console, and everywhere Fortnite is available on Tuesday, July 11 at 11 a.m. PDT. In this action-packed round-based competition, two teams of three are pitted against each other and engage in a high-stakes battle where one side attempts to infiltrate a heavily fortified bank while the defending team does everything in its power to thwart the daring thieves. Players must exhibit superior coordination, tactics, and reflexes as they attempt to access the vault, retrieve a coveted payload and successfully extract the loot via helicopter. With a seamless blend of adrenaline-fueled combat and intense decision-making, Bank Heist promises to captivate players in an unparalleled immersive experience."

"Bank Heist is the result of the evolution of 100 Thieves and the evolution of modern game development overall," said Pete Hawley, Chief Product Officer and head of game development at 100 Thieves. "Thanks to the new UEFN platform, our small but talented development team was able to work with our creators to build an innovative take on the competitive multiplayer extraction genre within Fortnite in just a few weeks. We're excited to launch this game, support this platform, and continue to innovate on how great games are developed."
