Fortnite fans, get ready! A new update is on the horizon, and it’s packed with exciting content. Whether you’re a cosmetics collector, a competitive player, or just here for the fun, there’s something for everyone in this upcoming release. Let’s dive into what you can expect this week in Fortnite.
New Cosmetics and Skins
One of the highlights of this update is the introduction of new cosmetics. While Epic Games has yet to release some previously leaked skins—like Deadpool Peely and the new Meowscles skin—rumors suggest that these might be part of future events or updates. As always, Fortnite continues to surprise its players, so keep an eye out for these highly anticipated additions.
Upcoming Mythic Item: Shuri’s Claw
Another exciting feature is the long-awaited release of the Shuri’s Claw Mythic item, which was teased in the trailer for the current Marvel-themed season. Despite being a Marvel season, this item has yet to appear in the game, but that’s set to change with this update. The Mythic item is expected to be a game-changer, and players are eager to see how it will impact gameplay.
Battle Pass Super Styles and Potential Collaborations
The Battle Pass Super Styles are also set to go live, giving players the opportunity to unlock some exclusive rewards. Additionally, there’s speculation about new collaborations, particularly with Marvel. Given the season’s theme, it’s likely that we’ll see more Marvel characters and items making their way into the game.
Interestingly, there are rumors that Sonic 3 might make an appearance in Fortnite. With the recent release of the Sonic 3 trailer, some fans are speculating that Sonic could be the next big crossover event in the game. Whether this will happen remains to be seen, but it would undoubtedly be an exciting addition to Fortnite’s ever-growing roster of collaborations.
Item Shop Leaks and Free Back Bling
For those keeping track of their V-Bucks, nearly every item shop for the coming days has been leaked. Expect to see skins like Bunny Wolf, Crystal, Bushranger, and many more returning to the shop. Additionally, a free back bling in the shape of a croissant is being granted to players who signed up for Epic Games’ surveys. If you haven’t signed up yet, now’s your chance to grab this unique cosmetic.
Marvel Seasonal Content and New LTMs
As we are in a Marvel season, players can expect even more Marvel-themed content. New Marvel LTMs are rumored to be in the works, with mechanics similar to the Endgame LTM. This LTM will feature limited respawns, unique loot pools, and the return of popular Marvel Mythics from past seasons.
LEGO Collaboration and Other Exciting Additions
A LEGO Fortnite collaboration is also expected to be part of this update. LEGO has been teasing this collaboration through live streams, where they’re building what appears to be a LEGO colosseum within Fortnite. This partnership could bring a whole new dimension to the game, with potential LEGO-themed skins, structures, and even a new jungle biome.
Competitive Changes and Community Reactions
For the competitive scene, there are some changes that have sparked controversy among players. Storm sickness will now instantly kill players after taking 150 storm damage, a change that hasn’t gone down well with the community. Additionally, a new challenge that requires players to emote within five seconds of eliminating an opponent has been spotted, which some players find to be promoting toxic behavior.
What’s Next?
While these updates bring a lot of new content, they also leave us with questions about what’s next for Fortnite. With the arrival of Chapter 5 Season 3 just around the corner, players are eager to see how the game will continue to evolve. Will we see more collaborations? New game modes? Only time will tell.
As always, stay tuned for the latest Fortnite news, and make sure you’re ready to jump into the action when the update drops. Whether you’re here for the cosmetics, the new Mythics, or just to see what Epic Games has up its sleeve, this week’s update is sure to have something that will excite every Fortnite player.
