The third season for Fortnite: chapter 2 was released today. The game’s battle royale island was surrounded by a wall of water. The new season has created a bigger focus on aquatic elements.
The western portion of the island is now mostly underwater. The new season also introduces new mobility options. Other big additions include new NPC enemies called marauders.
‘as time goes on and water recedes, even more locations will be uncovered,’ says developer epic. The flooding is n’t necessarily a permanent fixture.
A new season also means a new battle pass, Fortnite’s subscription-like service. Players who splurge for a pass will get a number of characters to unlock, including Aquaman and Kit.
Fortnite’s second season debuted on February 20th. The new season features a violence-free social space called party Royale. In-Game additions like helicopters, and a virtual concert tour from Travis Scott.
