The mini-season proved to be so popular with fans of the franchise, that some people even started asking for it to be added as a permanent game mode.
Following the finale of the Death Star Sabotage live event, Epic Games kicked offChapter 6 Season 3 ofFortnite, which shifted the battle royale’s focus to superheroes. In addition to adding skins of Robin and Superman to the title, players have been given the ability to collect Hero Items in the middle of a match. These Hero Items come with powerful abilities that help with everything from movement to combat. For instance, the Bass Boost item allows players to leap to incredible heights and land without taking damage. The item can also deal a significant blow to structures, though it was recently nerfed to limit its environmental damage.
In a recent post on Twitter, HYPEX shared a wide variety offeatures that may be coming toFortnitein the future, as the leaker claimed Epic Games is currently considering adding them to the popular battle royale. One of the features mentions “unlockable shops,” which could function similarly to the Darth Jar Jar cosmetics. In order to purchase the Darth Jar Jar skin when it made its debut in the Item Shop, players were required to earn over one million XP during the Galactic Battle mini-season. It was a decision that made waves in the community, as some people didn’t appreciate the character being gated behind any requirement outside of purchasing it with V-Bucks.
Epic May Be ‘Considering’ Adding New Features to Fortnite
HYPEX also mentioned the possibility of more limited-timemodes coming toFortnite, which could be happening sooner rather than later. Shortly before the release of Chapter 6 Season 3, the prominent leaker Blortzen shared that a new superhero mode could be in the works, which would focus on powers and abilities instead of guns.
Another recent leak revealed thatpets could be coming toFortnitesoon. According to leakers, these cosmetic companions will only be visible to the player they belong to and their teammates. When the new cosmetic type was initially leaked, some players were concerned that having too many pets on the battlefield could create visual clutter. Members of the community were also concerned that pets could give away gamers trying to take a stealthy approach to combat. Fortunately, it seems as if Epic Games has avoided these issues by limiting visibility. With a whole new season to enjoy and even more content on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future ofFortnite.
