After the break brought by the Fortnite Remix: Chapter 2 season, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 continues with the narrative that encompasses the game. This time, the cinematic trailer shows us how a mysterious shard affects the game’s new island, with an obvious Japanese setting, leading to the arrival of numerous yōkai, demons and ghosts that belong to the folklore of Japan.

As usual, the Gameplay trailer gives us a first look at many of the new season’s gameplay features, as well as a sneak peek at the game’s new island. New weapons and a new mobility system that allows for never-before-seen actions such as wall-running and wall-jumping are the icing on the cake as we enter a new chapter filled with secrets to be revealed.

The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass brings with it several new outfits that follow in the wake of the expected, given the marked Japanese setting of this new stage of the game. We have a young samurai, Hope transformed into a kunoichi, the leader of the Yōkai with different styles, a feline cyborg... and also the unexpected appearance of Godzilla and Baymax from ‘Big Hero 6′ as a seasonal collaboration. You can see them in all their glory in one of the official artworks.

New map for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

We have many new areas to visit, including Asian temples, large forest boardwalks, and peaceful meadows. MEGA City, one of the most celebrated new features of Chapter 4 Season 2, is back in all its glory. Epic Games wanted to save this cyberpunk megalopolis for this new phase of the game, and it fits like a glove.

The train, introduced in Chapter 5 Season 1, is back, and it also travels through MEGA City, serving as a fast means of transportation to quickly traverse this colossal city.

Last but not least, there is Godzilla, who will be enormous in size in the style of Doctor Doom in the Season 4 finale event of Chapter 5. This awesome creature threatens to ravage the island, and we must avoid him at all costs if we don’t want to fall victim to his atomic breath.

New weapons and items of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

Of course, the new season of Fortnite renews its arsenal, both by introducing new weapons to deal with our rivals, and by bringing back emblematic weapons and objects from previous seasons, such as the Kinetic Blade from Chapter 4, the sword that also served as a mobility tool. Weapon attachments are also back and will allow us to modify weapon attributes such as vertical recoil, magazine capacity, or the type of sight we can use.

New Elemental Spirits for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

One of the big additions to the playable level this season are the Elemental Spirits. They are small creatures that populate the island and have different effects depending on their type. The Water Spirits, for example, create a sorbet around them that serves to regenerate health and shield. Using them wisely can get us out of a tight spot and even change the course of the game completely.

New Demon Masks in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

Another new game mechanic in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 is the Demon Masks. Acquiring them will allow us to use otherworldly powers such as throwing fire through our hands, allowing us to surprise and devastate our opponents at medium and close range.

New Movement Mechanics in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

As usual with each new chapter of the game, Epic Games has revamped the mobility system with new moves that make the characters more agile than ever. In addition to classic maneuvers such as sprinting and sliding along the ground, we can now perform actions such as rolling after falling from great heights to mitigate the damage received, or wall jumps that allow us to be unpredictable when approaching our rivals in enclosed spaces.

New Bosses in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

In this new season, there is no shortage of hostile NPCs or bosses that will give us a hard time at certain points on the map. One of them is the one that appears in the cinematic trailer, a Japanese warrior of large size and menacing appearance that will not make it easy. However, defeating him will become routine as we get used to the new map, all for the sake of rare loot and weapons of enormous power. As in the past, it is expected that new bosses of a similar nature will be introduced as the season progresses.
