Fortnite’s new chapter started on December 2, 2023, and it was called the Big Bang event. It started the chapter off and lasted for fifteen minutes, previewing a new Fortnite collaboration with Lego, Rocket League, and Eminem.
The concept of Fortnite is to fight against a whole lobby full of 100 people to be the last one standing while gaining weapons and shields to survive. Fortnite also has many skins that people use to customize their look. Players can buy different things in the item shop like skins, back bling, pickaxes, and gliders. Players can also get the seasonal battle pass which the player needs to gain levels to receive the characters and other rewards. Epicgames.com
One of the many updates Epic Games added to Fortnite this season is a collaboration with Family Guy, Peter Griffin, in the Battle Pass. Fortnite also created a new movement for better mobility that took a whole year to make. Fortnite stated in a tweet “ New animations! Run and sprint speed slightly slower (but stamina recovers quickly), sideways + backward movement faster, crouching is slower, but stealthier”. Most of the community who plays Fortnite does not like the new animation, saying that it makes them feel slower. Fortnite does not plan on changing the new movement any time soon so that people could give the new movement a second chance to get used to it.
Fortnite’s collaboration with Lego has dropped and a considerably large amount of people are talking about it. It’s about survival, getting food, getting materials, making villages, and fighting against different creatures. You can create different worlds with your friends or you can play solo. Rocket League is another mode that a large part of the Fortnite community is going crazy about. It is a race that contains 3 laps where you drift, boost, and multi-jump to get first place, and 15 tracks in total to play in. The festival’s main stage mode is where you pick one song one each player from the music list, and you sing it with three other people. The different instruments are lead, vocals, bass, and drums, and you are ranked by 5 stars depending on how well you do.
Fortnite has been going all out with this new season, with the collaboration with Lego, Family Guy, and the company’s other game, Rocket League. Fortnite is not done updating a countdown to another part of the battle pass, and there are even more ways to customize the Rocket League cars. Hopefully, Fortnite will continue making more fun updates and other collaboration communities to enjoy.
