Tomorrow, July 22, Epic Games will add an entirely new vehicle to its hit battle royale game: the Ferrari 296 GTB. The crossover was announced by Ferrari, which shared the same teaser image as Epic via the official Fortinte Twitter account. Though Fortnite has been home to a number of crossovers, some more substantial than others, this marks the first time an automotive brand has marketed in the game.
The Fortnite Rainbow Royale event just appeared in the in-game shop for all platforms. This event is a celebration of Fortnite's LGBTQIA+ community with assurances that "everyone is welcome on the Battle Bus." It should be made clear, here, that this event is taking place outside of the trendy confines of Pride Month, where brands of all sorts make it a point to turn their social media rainbow-colored.
This week the folks at Epic updated Fornite to version 17.20, complete with Preferred Item Slots. If you're looking to use Preferred Item Slots, open settings, tap the Game tab, and bang! There it is. It is recommended that you take a peek at this feature before you drop in to your next game as it is ON BY DEFAULT.
Epic Games is about to launch what will likely be its biggest real-life Fortnite promotion thus far: a fully functional taco pop-up shop. The store, which will only be open and operational for a limited time, is slated for Los Angeles, California, where residents and visitors alike will be able to enjoy a taco while pretending they're in the Fortnite universe.
On Friday, Epic revealed an upcoming feature through one of its less popular Twitter accounts: Preferred Item Slots. With this new feature, players will no longer have to manually change the location of items in their inventory by instead setting their preferences ahead of time and letting the game automatically sort the items when they're picked up.
More than two weeks after we first learned about the new consumable, Epic has officially updated Fortnite with a new item called Inflate-A-Bull. The consumable item looks the way we expected based on past leaks: like an inflatable bull costume. Beyond that, Epic has finally confirmed the purpose of this new item.
Last month, a big Fortnite leak revealed the existence of a still-unannounced disguise called Inflate-A-Bull. As its name suggests -- sort of -- the disguise is an inflatable cow costume that players will allegedly be able to deploy whenever they'd like, enabling them to bounce off the ground. Epic has finally teased the existence of that consumable.
It's finally happening: LeBron James is making his way to Fortnite. But, of course, The King's arrival in Fortnite isn't just some random happening, as it's meant to coincide with the debut of Space Jam: A New Legacy. Between LeBron heading to Fortnite and the Space Jam: A New Legacy game currently available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, it seems like the gaming world is ready for the Looney Tunes' second basketball outing.
If you dream of seeing your own skin concept appear in Fortnite, Epic is currently offering you a shot at fulfilling that dream. However, this is your last weekend to submit your idea in hopes of getting an official skin launch -- the opportunity ends on Monday, after which point any concepts you submit won't be included for consideration.
The final issue in DC Comics' limited Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comic book series has finally arrived. As with the past five issues, you can redeem a free cosmetic in the battle royale game, but there's an extra perk on top of it: fans who purchased all six issues can also redeem the Armored Batman Zero skin for free.
The latest and arguably greatest season of Fortnite Chapter 2 may experience some big changes in a future update expected to arrive this week. Rather than unofficial details from data-miners, Epic has teased the changes in a series of tweets -- but it's easy to miss them if you don't know where to look.
In late April, Epic announced that it would offer Fortnite Crew subscribers a free Spotify perk starting with the May bundle. The promotion went live days later as promised, giving subscribers who were new to Spotify the opportunity to access the platform's premium features for free. Fast-forward several weeks and the promo is nearly over.
