Epic Games has finally released a story and a Battle Pass trailer for Fortnite Season 7 at 2 AM Eastern Time. The seventh season of the second chapter will have an alien invasion theme, as many players have correctly predicted. Besides, the Battle Pass will once again have many new items, including Superman and Rick Sanchez! As it was the case in the previous seasons, many skins will have multiple styles.
Gameplay and map changes
Judging by the trailer, Fortnite players will be able to control UFOs in the new season and pick up objects with them. Furthemore, the trailers show several new weapons that have been added to the popular battle royale game with the latest update.
When it comes to map changes, several locations have been updated, which can also be seen in the trailers. However, Fortnite leakers have also leaked the new map that will be used at the start of the new season. Some of the changed locations include the Spire, Stealthy Stronghold, FN Radio, Frenzy Farm, and more. Additionally, several places have purple areas around them and these will most likely be related to aliens or UFOs.
It’s interesting that one of the locations looks like Tilted Towers, but players will have to wait for the downtime to end to find out if this popular location is back!
When it comes to unvaulted items, Epic Games has brought the Launch Pad back for the new season, as well as sniper rifles. The video game developer has also brought Battle Stars back which players will use to level up and earn valuable Battle Pass rewards.
Fortnite players will also get new types of chests in the new season, according to leakers, such as a Cosmic Chest. Furthermore, a payphone has been added to the game, but at the moment, no one knows what exactly it will do.
Confirmed features and downtime
Before the season was even released, Epic Games has confirmed that players will be able to cancel a shakedown animation and that new graphics are coming to PC. However, these are not the only changes that have come with the new season, so we will have to wait for servers to get back up and check all the new things!
Downtime has just started and it is unknown how long it will last. In the meantime, players are advised to update their clients so they can jump straight into the game once the downtime ends.
