Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 updates and changes

One can always anticipate major advancements in the gameplay experience when Fortnite is concerned. For the upcoming season, the Battle Royale map will potentially be subjected to quite a few modifications. HypeX, a Fortnite leaker, has also hinted at some major shake-ups, literally.

Earthquake tremors are likely to impact the topography as newly introduced peaks and valleys will get stationed on the island.

A yacht locale is another point of focus for these transformations. User ShiinaBR spotted a multiplayer title update, resulting in a brand new file ‘MidasYacht’ emerging in the game's backend.

Other basic introductions include the new in-game skins. HypeX has hinted at another possible leak about rumored in-game collaborations with Avatar and Devil May Cry.

American video game designer Edmund Charles McMillen, known for the game Binding of Isaac, also teased being up for a Fortnite collaboration with Epic Games. Could this mean that his roguelike characters will also jump into action in the upcoming season?

Is Fortnite OG returning?

Unfortunately, the Fortnite community is holding on to mere dreams and hopes at the moment. Although Fortnite OG's return is yet to be affirmed, Saxs Persson at Epic Games has firmly suggested the possibility. If it all comes together, Fortnite OG could be a distinct feature disjoint from the Battle Royale mode.

Where to play Fortnite?

Available for free, the game is now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac and mobile.
