Fortnite’s Chapter 4, Season 1 Battle Pass and other details have leaked online.
It’s been a huge day for Fortnite fans.
Earlier today the Fractured live-event kicked off and we got to see the destruction of the old map by way of oozy Chrome, and the construction of the new map courtesy of Brie Larson’s Paradigm character, who seems to have perished in the process (possibly).
You can read about what happened, expected downtime and see screenshots from the event right here.
Now the key art for Chapter 4, Season 1 has leaked online and it shows the new map and several different Battle Pass characters looking down on it. It also shows one character riding a motorcycle, confirming rumors that motor-bikes were coming to the game. It looks like a fun little dirt bike, so that’s exciting.
Chapter 4
The characters here are both original and new. In the cinematic trailer we glimpsed some of these, as well as the Hulk who might be the ‘secret’ skin this season.
MORE FOR YOU
You can see Doom Guy from the DOOM games and Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher here, so those are pretty awesome new crossovers. Geralt alone will force me to buy the Battle Pass. Hopefully he’s not Tier 100!
The others appear original. Geno is more likely to be the Tier 100 character. We’ve heard of the character before (he’s the one with the long black hair) as the leader of the Imagined Order, and the arch-villain of the entire Fortnite saga up to this point and has been lurking behind the scenes for the past three chapters. He’s taking a more prominent role in Chapter 4 it appears. He’s also the boss (former boss?) of Agent Jonesy.
Other characters we saw in the trailer were popular YouTuber Mr. Beast, The Hulk, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Toy Story characters and possibly stuff I missed. The new Chapter and Season begin tomorrow, Sunday December 4th.
If you look closely during the trailer you can also see a fortress—almost certainly Kaer Morhen from The Witcher—which will likely become a POI on the new map!
P.S. While I’m stoked about motorcycles, I wish they’d get rid of the gas mechanic. Driving cars in video games is fun! But outside of survival-style games, gassing them up is just a chore. We don’t enjoy it in real life and we don’t enjoy it in video games. Make it stop.
