Fortnite developer Epic Games has pulled back the curtain on the Chapter 6 update, confirming the arrival of Godzilla.
Chapter 6, which kicks off on December 1, sees Godzilla terrorize the new Japan-themed map. The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Hunters trailer, below, shows a number of other, smaller Japan-inspired bosses as well as new weapons available to players, such as samurai swords. Also confirmed is the arrival of Big Hero 6's Baymax.
Earlier this month, Epic Games announced changes to the Fortnite Battle Pass model that will see its standard pass getting a price increase for the first time. Fortnite has long offered its standard pass for 950 V-Bucks, but starting December 1, the price will increase by 50, bringing the total asking number to 1,000 V-Bucks.
The real-world cost of V-Bucks will remain unchanged (you can pick up 1,000 V-Bucks on the Epic Games Store for $8.99 right now), and you’ll still be able to earn chunks of V-Bucks by reaching certain Battle Pass levels. Meanwhile, the price of the 25 Battle Pass Reward Bundle is going down from 1,850 to 1,800.
These changes arrive ahead of the highly anticipated launch of Fortnite OG: Chapter 1 – Season 1 on December 6.
