Okay, so prepare to be amazed. Gamers, because Fortnite has unveiled its Season 6, and oh boy, did anyone expect this? Almost the entire trailer is more crazy than a default skin running through a pro lobby. Now that means something.
Well, what’s new? The complete map is flipped upside down (literally??). There’s this all tribal stuff going around here-some cavemen include technology, and also…animals? Kind of? Yeah, strange. But not in an astounded sort of way; it’s strange in that good Fortnite way you’d say, “Wait, how is this working?”
Crafting is first, and it really should’ve been there as FINALLY. No more praying for a purple pump upon spawning, making one possible self. Kind of okay. You gotta hunt wildlife (big sad for the wolves and boars) for materials, then combine ’em with weapons for upgrading.
It’s like Minecraft had a baby with Call of Duty, and nobody told us. Speaking of wildlife, tameable wolves are roaming about. That’s right, you can finally stroll to the ultimate circle with your personal murder puppy. Or, you know, get mauled by one because the AI is still kind of…overzealous.
And the battle pass?? Spider-Man who? This season’s secret skin is Lara Croft. Actual Tomb Raider Lara Croft. Epic really went for the ‘let’s just steal everyone’s childhood’ line-and honestly?
We’re not even mad. The truth of the matter is, the zero point is unstable again (not so shockingly), and now there are these weird spires everywhere shooting purple energy. Nothing serious, I’m sure. Nothing that’s going to trigger another live event where the map explodes. No way.
Oh well. Servers are melting at this moment since the whole world is trying to land in the new Colossal Crops, which is just a colossal farm, but with more guns. Priorities, people.
So yeah. Land, get eaten by a wolf, respawn, rinse and repeat. Classic Fortnite. I’ll see you all in the lobby-if queue ever lets us in.
– Oh yeah, did I mention chickens? Because you can ride chickens now. That’s it. That’s the tweet. Game of the year.
