Sony is back with another Fortnite exclusive for its PlayStation Plus subscribers, offering them a new cosmetics pack that includes a glider, emote, and more. The arrival of this new free and exclusive content follows Sony's announcement of its big investment into Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite. The PS Plus cosmetics pack is available to download now.
Epic is slowly reducing the amount of water on the Fortnite battle royale island, revealing the structures that were damaged and otherwise covered by the massive Storm at the end of Season 2. The expectation is that eventually most of the water will be gone and the roads will return, as will the islands and landmasses we saw pre-flood. It seems that once the water is gone, a familiar item will return.
Fortnite players have discovered yet another exploit, this one offering massive benefits for those who use it -- both invincibility and invisibility -- but it's not without its problems. The exploit is currently live in Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 3 and it'll remain that way until Epic releases a patch to fix the problem. How does the exploit work? You'll need a Whirlpool and a bit of planning.
Independence Day in the US this year is going to be a rather memorable one given the rather complex mix of situations there right now. Some might decide to just spend it indoors while still spending it with others in some good old Internet-based social experience. For some, that means competing with masses of other players to stay on top of Fortnite ranking and now gamers can even literally wear a bit of that American spirit with Fortnite's new Captain America themed items.
Epic Games has acknowledged a new bug that manifests in Fortnite's The Authority point of interest, one that has caused players to lose those matches without warning. The issue involves gliders and manifests in all occasions involving them, including times when the player is using items like a Grappler or Launch Pad. Though it's listed as a priority, Epic hasn't yet fixed this issue.
At this point it is clear that Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 3 will involve the gradual removal of the floodwaters, revealing more of the island and the destruction over the coming weeks. Questions remain about how extensively the water will recede, something seemingly answered by a new leak involving the final Season 3 island map. In case this isn't obvious, be warned: there are potential spoilers ahead.
Today is a big day for the Fortnite brand, but for the first time in a long while, we're actually talking about Save the World and not Battle Royale. Fortnite, as many will remember, got its start with the PvE-focused Save the World and only shot to fame after Epic rolled out its much more popular Battle Royale mode. Still, throughout the past couple of years, Epic has been developing Save the World alongside Battle Royale, and now the original Fortnite game mode has hit a big development milestone.
The third season of Fortnite's second chapter is well underway and players have largely adjusted to the new environment -- one primarily featuring water as a consequence of Midas and his attempt to stop the Storm forever. Though we can't say exactly what Epic has planned at this point, the company has heavily hinted at what is to come, making it easier to anticipate what tomorrow's 13.20 game update will bring.
It's no secret that fish offer far more health and shields per second compared to more traditional consumables in Fortnite, prompting players to stock up on these items over bandages and shields. Given that the game's island is now covered almost entirely with water, it makes sense for Epic to add new types of fish...something recently detailed in a new leak.
Epic is planning another Christopher Nolan promotion in its Fortnite Party Royale game mode, but one that will be quite a bit more substantial that its recent Tenet trailer premiere. In addition to the concert the company recently revealed, Epic says that its Fortnite players will soon be able to tune into Party Royale to watch a full Christopher Nolan movie like Inception.
Epic has announced the latest concert heading to its "Party Royale" mode in Fortnite and it'll be presented by DJ Diplo, aka Thomas Wesley. The concert will be a live event that takes place on Thursday, a less convenient day than the weekends when Epic usually holds these big events. If you miss the live concert, don't worry: there will also be a 'rebroadcast' on Monday. Joining Diplo will be Young Thug and Noah Cyrus.
DreamHack has announced its own Fortnite Open tournament for players located in North America and Europe. The competitive events will take place monthly through the rest of the year, offering up $250,000 in prizes every month. This isn't an invite-based tournament; players will soon be able to sign up to participate on the DreamHack website.
