The most notable change is the brand new island, which features a number of new points of interest, such as a citadel housing a character known as “The Ageless”, a mine full of a new material called kinetic ore, and an abandoned farm of some sort.
Other additions include a new vehicle in the form of dirt bikes (called “trail thrasher” in the game), the ability to roll around in a giant snowball, “reality augmentations” that give you randomized buffs as the match goes on, flying jellyfish , which can restore your health, brand new weapons, including a shotgun that fires blades, and a melee weapon called the ‘Shock Hammer’. You can check out the full list of changes here.
Epic also says that with Chapter 4, Fortnite has moved to Unreal Engine 5.1, which means that a number of high-end visual features – including high-quality ray tracing and more realistic lighting – will now be available to players on PC and next-generation consoles such as PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Finally, for those who purchase this Season Battle Pass, unlockable characters include the Doom Slayer from doom and the witcher himself, Geralt of Rivia. They join them Fortnite originals like a skater dude named Masai and an ax girl obsessed with beans. The Incredible Hulk will also be shoppable in the item shop “soon.”
