Get ready, Fortnite fans, because a beast of an update is on the horizon. Soon, you’ll have the chance to wield a Mythic item like no other, inspired by none other than Godzilla. This intriguing addition will let players transform into the iconic Kaiju, complete with his enormous size and legendary powers, promising to shake up the dynamics of battle in unpredictable ways. And if you’re keeping track, it seems King Kong might soon be stomping into the game as well.
Leaked by the well-known Fortnite insider, HYPEX, this update has been eagerly anticipated. Players are buzzing about the ability to morph into Godzilla, gaining epic abilities such as a destructive stomp, a powerful beam attack, and a fearsome roar. This Godzilla-themed Mythic continues Fortnite’s tradition of granting players mighty items from past seasons, each one offering unique advantages that can swing the tide of battle.
The anticipation has been building for weeks, fueled by teasers and hints at a Godzilla-themed event. Adding more fuel to the fire, King Kong is rumored to join the fray, echoing the classic rivalry of these two legendary beasts. This speculation isn’t coming out of nowhere, either. It follows the release of “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” last year, which sparked hope among fans that they’d see these titans in the Fortnite universe. Now, it’s a reality—or at least it will be soon.
Currently, Fortnite is in the midst of Chapter 6 Season 1, which has already shaken up the map, weaponry, and storyline. This season introduces a variety of new weapons, including blades and mystical Oni masks that bestow special powers. New locales are emerging too, with a freshly-minted Seaport City bridge poised to play a crucial role in the Godzilla update. Mark your calendars because starting January 17, you can add two Godzilla skins to your in-game locker.
Epic Games continues its trend of transforming Fortnite into more than just a game, making it a vast platform for varying experiences. The game has seen countless updates since debuting in 2017, continually evolving with new modes, such as Ballistic—a first-person standoff reminiscent of tactical shooters like Counter-Strike. The long-awaited arrival of Hatsune Miku complements the existing Japanese-inspired theme, further enriching the diverse tapestry of Fortnite’s offerings.
Whether you’re setting off on thrilling adventures, engaging in multiplayer skirmishes, or simply exploring the ever-expanding universe of creator-made content, Fortnite offers a cornucopia of experiences to suit every player. From daring stunts in parkour challenges to zombie hordes in survival games, each session promises something new and exhilarating. And now, with Godzilla set to join the chaos, there’s never been a more exciting time to dive into the action.
