Fortnite Chapter 6: Godzilla and New Features
Fortnite has released its Chapter 6 launch trailer, revealing significant details about the game’s latest update. Here’s what you need to know:
Launch Trailer and New Features
The trailer, which was accidentally made available in-game, shows a fresh Japan-inspired map for Chapter 6. The main attraction is the towering Godzilla, an enormous boss that will roam the map. Other notable additions include smaller bosses like a huge samurai and a floating demon mask, as well as a giant turtle.
Godzilla as a Boss
Godzilla will be a central figure in Chapter 6, similar to previous large-scale events like the Doctor Doom live event. This time, however, Godzilla will have fire breath, adding a new layer of challenge to the gameplay.
Map Changes and Gameplay
- Destruction Zones: Areas such as Mega City and Steamy Shores are expected to be destroyed during the live event.
- Monster Footprints: Players will be able to see Godzilla’s trail of destruction across the map.
- Volcanic Rift: A new volcanic biome will emerge, hinting at Godzilla’s lair.
- Godzilla Boss Fight: Players will team up to take down Godzilla in a unique PvE event using mythic weapons.
- Special Challenges: Event-exclusive challenges will offer XP, Godzilla-themed rewards, and more.
Cosmetics and Battle Pass
The Fortnite Item Shop will feature limited-edition Godzilla-themed skins and accessories. The Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass will include rewards such as the Godzilla Evolved skin and an emote featuring Big Hero 6’s Baymax.
Additional Pets and Modes
Fortnite is also introducing new pet-like creatures, including a cute-looking dragon. Additionally, the game will bring back its original map as a permanent addition with its own battle pass, known as Fortnite OG mode.
The Monsterverse Collaboration
The 33.20 update is part of a Monsterverse collaboration, which includes a live event featuring a battle between Godzilla and King Kong. This event is expected to mimic the 2021 movie “Godzilla vs Kong.” After the event, both Godzilla and King Kong will appear as NPC bosses on the map, allowing players to hunt them down for exclusive loot rewards.
Rift Portals and Mythic Items
Players will encounter rift portals on the map, similar to those seen in previous events. These portals will lead to locations like Hollow Earth, a setting from the Godzilla movies, where players can obtain mythic items such as Godzilla’s Atomic Breath.
Community Engagement
The update promises a high level of community engagement with special challenges and rewards. Players can participate in event-exclusive challenges to earn XP and unique rewards. The live event will also feature a cinematic experience, showing Godzilla rising from the ocean and causing destruction across the island.
Future Updates
Following the launch of Chapter 6, Fortnite will continue to reveal more about its future plans. The return of the original map with Fortnite OG mode is a significant addition, catering to fans who miss the classic gameplay. With the introduction of new biomes, bosses, and gameplay mechanics, Chapter 6 is set to be an exciting and dynamic season for Fortnite players.
