Fortnite, Epic Games' wildly popular multiplayer online battle royale, is no stranger to epic showdowns and colossal crossovers. The game has previously featured giant adversaries and special character skins inspired by iconic figures like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wonder Woman, and Hatsune Miku. Now, Fortnite is gearing up to bring the legendary Japanese cinematic monster, Godzilla, into the fray as part of Chapter 6 Season 1.
Scheduled for release on January 14, 2024, Fortnite Version 33.20 promises to shake the Island with the arrival of Godzilla. This update will feature a skin based on Godzilla's Evolved appearance from the recent film Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, available to Battle Pass owners starting January 17, 2024. The anticipation for Godzilla's debut has sparked discussions about potential future skins and has humorously dubbed Fortnite as the video game equivalent of the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.
Godzilla's notorious rampages are legendary, and Fortnite players will soon experience this firsthand. According to Dexerto, Epic Games is expected to initiate server downtime at 4 AM PT, 7 AM ET, and 12 PM GMT to prepare for the update. The new content will center around the Monsterverse, with trailers showcasing Godzilla's colossal presence on the Island. Additionally, hints of King Kong's involvement suggest that players might face both iconic Kaiju as bosses in Chapter 6 Season 1.
Fortnite has a history of featuring devastating events, from battles with Galactus to confrontations with Doctor Doom and The Nothing. Godzilla's arrival promises to be another monumental event, potentially paving the way for more exciting crossovers, including additional TMNT characters and a long-awaited collaboration with Devil May Cry in the coming year.
