Fortnite’s Chapter 6 has landed, bringing with it a dynamic mix of updates and a brand-new, Japanese-themed map. This fresh wave of content is a fantastic way to end the year, while setting the stage for an exciting start to 2025. As is tradition with Fortnite, crossovers play a big role in its universe, and this time around, Godzilla is set to stomp into the game as a playable skin early next year.
With the launch of Chapter 6 Season 1, the game is diving deep into Japanese culture. Whether it’s the Battle Pass rewards featuring both original characters and crossover stars like Big Hero 6’s Baymax, there’s plenty for players to be thrilled about. But among all the goodies, the Godzilla Evolved skin stands out, although it’s tucked away in the Battle Pass bonus section. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until early 2025 to unleash this beastly skin.
The map overhaul and the fresh cosmetics in the Battle Pass are just the tips of the iceberg. Kicking off the new year with a bang on January 17 at 9 AM ET, players can finally channel their inner kaiju and cause chaos on the battlefield with the iconic Godzilla skin. This hits all the right notes, especially since Godzilla has been a titan of Japanese pop culture since it first graced the big screens in 1954. Fans worldwide love the franchise, making its addition to the game a major highlight.
In Chapter 6 Season 1, players will notice a slight bump in the Battle Pass price, now costing 1,000 V-Bucks instead of the usual 950.
Godzilla’s arrival is more than just another collaboration; it raises the bar for what’s to come in 2025. The updates, including the latest Kicks cosmetics, are setting a high standard. If future features live up to this, players have a lot to look forward to this coming year.
There’s even speculation – thanks to insights from famed leaker ShiinaBR – that King Kong might soon make his Fortnite debut. This isn’t yet confirmed by Epic Games, so consider it a fun possibility for now. With Godzilla’s skin drawing inspiration from the latest Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire movie, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to imagine King Kong making a grand entrance too.
Come January 17, unlocking the Godzilla Evolved skin will entail completing a series of Battle Royale quests.
This year could indeed be transformative for Fortnite. Should King Kong join Godzilla and become part of the Fortnite universe, it would make for an epic crossover. The leaks didn’t clarify whether King Kong would feature as a skin or an NPC, so fans will have to wait and see. With Fortnite consistently shattering its own records, high-profile skins and potential additions like King Kong are sure to reel in even more players.
After Chapter 5, it seemed tough for Fortnite to outdo itself, yet Epic Games continues to pull surprises. As the whispers of Fortnite’s future plans grow, fans can only guess at what monumental updates might follow a collaboration as large as the one with Godzilla.
