Fortnite, the iconic game fromEpic Games, has entered a new era! After its highly-anticipated OG Season finale event, Big Bang, held on December 2, Fortnite is now offering Season 1 of Chapter 5, Subversion, on December 3, 2023. And it's a season with a whole host of new features...
After the long-awaited Big Bang explosion, what can we expect? Fortnite Chapter 5 takes us into a world where nothing is what it seems. The secret control of the island by The Order, a mysterious organization, and the capture of Banana, one of the game's iconic characters, set the scene for this new adventure. Players are invited to join the ranks of the Subversives to battle the Order's powerful bosses, including the redoubtable Valéria.
The new season features a spectacularly redesigned island. At the heart of this reinvention, discover a variety of landscapes ranging from the chic marina of Ritzy Riviera in the west, to the remote boreal forests sheltering Rebel's Roost mansion. Explore the grassy plains of the island's center by boarding the train from Reckless Railways for a breathtaking view. But the adventure doesn't stop there: to the east, players can visit the snow-covered tundra and the village of Hazy Hillside, offering the perfect setting for epic confrontations.
The game also introduces exciting new weapons and vehicles. The arsenal is enriched with modifiable weapons, allowing players to personalize their combat experience. The addition of a ballistic shield revolutionizes defense, allowing players to protect themselves while attacking. There's also a Grappling Blade, enabling you to climb walls or lure your enemies in, sticky sub-munition grenades and the Flobaie, a berry that gives you and your nearby team back some of their shields. Ideal for avoiding death in the event of a fall.
And as for the healing kits and shield potions, they've been tweaked a little, still giving you as much HP or shield, but now allowing you to move (slowly, of course) when you use them. However, once you've started using them, there's no going back. For driving enthusiasts, the TrailSmasher promises off-the-beaten-track escapades, while the new category of car cosmetics will allow you to customize vehicles in unprecedented ways.
But that's not all: the Big Bang Battle Pass promises to unlock a host of rewards, including exclusive outfits for Subversives and Order members. What's more, this season will also see the introduction of unique party quests, offering a new type of challenge for every game. In terms of skins, you can expect a lot of action, including Solid Snake(Metal Gear Solid) and Peter Griffin (The Griffins), and the accessories that go with them. Two skins that had already leaked a few days ago via visuals from an Xbox Store ad.
