Epic Games Announces Fortnite Chapter 3 With New Island
Epic Games has announced Chapter 3 for Fortnite. The new chapter brings several major changes. Chapter 3 lets players play on a new island with new skills. The Battle-Pass also includes a Spider-Man outfit.
Epic Games publishes a trailer detailing Fortnite Chapter 3. Among other things, this chapter brings with it a new island. That new island is partly covered in snow and has to deal with weather changes, such as lightning storms. A tornado is also featured in the trailer, in which players can fly around.
Gamers are also getting new skills in Chapter 3 of Fortnite. Players can now slide slides and swing around the game world in a Spider-Man style. It is also possible to set up camps on the island. Players can heal there and store items for use in another game round.
Epic Games also introduces new weapons, new items, and a ‘Victory Crown’. The game is also getting a new Battle-Pass. Owners of these can unlock a Spider-Man outfit, among other things, which matches the new Lurking ability. The trailer also features Marcus Fenix from Gears of War and The Foundation. The last character to be played will be Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, it turned out Saturday night.
The Chapter 3 announcement follows a major The End event, which took place on Saturday within Fortnite. After that event, in which players competed against zombies, UFOs, and the Cube Queen, the entire Fortnite island was ‘overturned’. Fortnite has been offline ever since. Fortnite’s official Twitch channel and Fortnite website only show a character stranded at sea. It is not known when Chapter 3 will start exactly, as the update has not yet been released. That will probably happen soon.
