A new Fortnite leak reveals what players can expect from the game's upcoming Godzilla-themed update, including an exciting new Mythic item. This Mythic will grant players powerful abilities, likely changing the dynamics of fights and battles during matches. The Godzilla update coincides with the introduction of another highly-requested character, Hatsune Miku, both of which fit seamlessly into the game's Japanese-inspired battle pass and chapter cycle.
Since its release in 2017, Fortnite has undergone countless updates, with developer Epic Games treating the game as a dynamic platform rather than a static title. This approach is evident throughout Fortnite's history, particularly in its recent updates. Over the past few years, Fortnite has introduced new weapons, events, crossovers, and collaborations, significantly altering the game itself. One of the most notable changes is the introduction of Ballistic, a new first-person game mode that transforms the gameplay into a tactical showdown reminiscent of Counter-Strike. With Fortnite, big changes are always on the horizon, including the latest overhaul to its ever-evolving weapon pool.
First revealed by prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX, players will soon have the chance to acquire a new Godzilla-themed Mythic item. The Godzilla Mythic allows players to transform into the Kaiju himself, granting them his powers and his colossal size. Players can acquire the new Mythic to become Godzilla, wielding abilities such as a stomp, a beam, a roar, and more. This new Mythic joins a prestigious lineup of others from past Fortnite seasons, all of which have empowered players with extraordinary abilities.
This new Mythic item arrives following weeks of teases and hints pointing toward a Godzilla-inspired event, with the character even featured in Fortnite's official Chapter 6 key art. There's also speculation that King Kong will be part of Fortnite's new Godzilla update, tapping into the legendary rivalry between the two monsters. Last year's release of "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" fueled speculation about a possible Fortnite collaboration, with at least one of these iconic monsters now making an appearance in the game.
Currently, players are immersed in Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 1 update, which has introduced several changes to the map, weapon pool, and storyline. Players now have access to a variety of new guns, swords, and elemental Oni masks, each granting specific powers. New points of interest have also been added, with Fortnite's new Seaport City bridge rumored to be involved in the Godzilla update. Additionally, players will be able to add two Godzilla skins to their Fortnite locker starting on January 17.
