This is the first time we have seen Battle Royale with Save the World characters in an image and the first time they have been mentioned together. Could this be Epic’s way of hinting a possible crossover? It has been announced by Epic in the past that the Save the World (PvE) mode will be free some time in the future, but no official time or date was announced. This is pure speculation and there has not been any official statement by Epic as yet.
The next rift is believed to be in Greasy Grove.
