The cars were scheduled to arrive at Fortnite with patch 13.30, since with it, all the cars on the island that were part of the stage disappeared, we understand that so that the players do not get confused between those who can drive and the not. This further resulted in the fact that collecting metal has been somewhat more complex since then, as cars were a reliable source of this building material. However, Epic Games decided to delay its release indefinitely, we understand that it was not sufficiently well tested.

We remind you that this is all we know about cars: they will be divided into four categories: truck, big car, medium car and small car. They will need gasoline to be able to move; We can find this new resource at the gas stations that are all over the island.
