Throughout its history, Fortnite has been host to a number of different crossover events. A few of these crossovers have been with Marvel properties, to promote the releases of films like Avengers: Infinity War and its follow-up, Avengers: Endgame. For the next crossover, however, Epic will be teaming up with Marvel competitor DC Comics, and the subject of the event will be none other than Batman.
Another Fornite bug has been discovered that grants players a slightly indestructible nature. A video recently highlighted the issue, revealing that certain game skins -- the ones available to literally every single player -- are immune from damage issued by certain weapons, including ones that ordinarily cause devastating damage.
Another Fortnite patch has landed, and this time around, the update is a bit on the small side. In fact, this week there's no new weapon or item being added to the game, and there aren't any big changes to the map happening either. Though it's a pretty quiet week for Fortnite, mobile users are getting a big new feature called the Party Hub.
Remember the special Fortnite Xbox One console edition Microsoft introduced earlier this summer? The bundle included a purple console alongside a dark purple wireless controller, both styled after the game's iconic Storm. If you didn't pick up one of those bundles because you already own a console, Microsoft has some good news for you: the controller is now available to purchase a standalone item.
The PlayStation Greece Twitter account has tweeted an announcement that appears premature -- there's a new exclusive 'Celebration Pack' in the works that'll be offered to PS Plus subscribers. This pack will include exclusive cosmetics, offering Sony's PlayStation customers more unique items featuring the console's iconic blue color, among other things. Many details about the pack remain unclear at this time, however.
In July, Epic Games announced a collaboration with Uniqlo USA for an upcoming line of clothing items designed for Fortnite fans. The new Fornite X Uniqlo line will feature a variety of clothing items, including hoodies and shirts, but Epic didn't provide any samples of the upcoming products at that time. That changed today with a tweet from the company that includes several tops featuring the Fortnite logo and more.
The Fortnite version 10.20 update added a new in-game item called the Shield Bubble, which resembles a grenade, but offers protection instead of damage. The Shield Bubble is meant to be thrown on the ground, where it creates a large protective dome that stays in place. Players quickly noted that it's possible to throw these items on the bush and mech suits to make them portable, but another trick has surfaced that lets anyone wield a portable shield.
Epic Games has announced plans to test a new feature called 'Community Choice' that will allow Fortnite players to vote for the items they want to see arrive in the game's Item Shop. The voting will be available for a single slot in the Item Shop during the test period, enabling players to choose from a selection of past items that will return for a brief time.
We find ourselves squarely in the middle of the week, and Fortnite players know what that means: a new update has landed. This time around, we actually aren't getting a new weapon or item to use in game, but instead, two new areas have appeared on the map. These new areas will be home to some pretty interesting mechanics, so you'll definitely want to check them out when you get into a game.
Epic has announced the release details for Fortnite update version 10.30, the latest update for the battle royale game's tenth season. As we've come to expect, the game update will be arriving mid-week in the early morning hours, meaning most players won't notice the downtime when it kicks in. What should you expect from the 10.30 patch?
On September 13, Gearbox will release Borderlands 3, the latest installment in the popular game series. Ahead of that comes a new gear bundle from Epic Games called 'Psycho,' one that features in-game Fortnite items themed after Gearbox's new game. The company is offering its Psycho bundle for free to anyone who pre-orders or purchases Borderlands 3, but only if they do so before the offer's deadline.
If you're firing up Fortnite this weekend after a long work week, you may be surprised by a couple of major changes and a couple less obvious -- but no less important -- tweaks. Epic released Fortnite hotfix 10.20.2 on Wednesday following the 10.20 Content Update, removing three controversial weapons, unvaulting an old weapon, and adjusting the BRUTE suit and peppers.
