■ Fight as a Ronin in FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE Chapter 6 Season 1: 鬼 HUNTERS (Demon Hunters)

As the wind blows, the sun rises on a beautiful new island, shrouded in mystery and mystical energy. In its darkest corners, demons dwell, wreaking havoc with their masks of chaotic power. Great heroes must rise to drive back the ancient evils that roam this land. Become a ronin and cut through the darkness to find the light in FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE Chapter 6 Season 1: 鬼 HUNTERS (Demon Hunters)!

■ New Elements of the New Season

• A fusion of the ancient and the modern

Virtue is found in tradition. Vanquish the lesser demons laying siege to the grand structure of the Warrior’s Watch, train for combat duty at Flooded Frogs, or ascend the mountain peak to test your mettle against foes at Shogun’s Solitude.

The dense commercial district of Seaport City redefines close quarters, while the Shining Span connects it to neighboring villages such as Canyon Crossing, a cliffside getaway complete with competing Chinese bun shops.

• Moving in Style

Chapter 6 adds Ledge Jump, Roll Landing, Wall Kick, and Wall Scramble to the core movement of Fortnite! These new movement features will be universally applied across Battle Royale, Reload, and Creator-made islands.

○ Ledge Jump

Parkour! Jump while sprinting very close to a ledge, be it a cliff or a rooftop, and you’ll perform a Ledge Jump! Ledge Jumps will send you farther, allowing you to reach places you normally wouldn’t be able to. Hit a Ledge Jump with some speed for some serious hang time.

○ Roll Landing

Keep it moving. Chapter 6 introduces Roll Landing, where holding Jump or tapping it just before hitting the ground while falling will cause you to do a barrel roll, restoring some stamina in the process.

○ Wall Kick

Jumping against a vertical surface to your side while in the air will allow you to perform a Wall Kick! Wall Kicks will launch you off of walls in the direction of your choosing. Weave Wall Kicks into your traversal and combat maneuvers to keep your foes on their toes. You can mantle, hit a Roll Landing, or even perform another Wall Kick off of a Wall Kick!

○ Wall Scramble

Jumping against a vertical surface in front of you will allow for a Wall Scramble! Reach that high ledge by taking a few big strides up a wall. If it’s mantle-able, you’ll mantle up automatically. Press Jump at any point while doing a Wall Scramble to perform a Wall Kick.

■ Introducing Simple Edit

This season also introduces a new build setting, Simple Edit, which allows users to edit builds with a single button press. The resulting edit is based on the part of the building you’re looking at rather than being painted manually — it automatically executes building edits immediately, removing the step of selecting tiles altogether.

■ Slay the Demons with the 鬼 HUNTERS Battle Pass

Grab the 鬼 HUNTERS Battle Pass for 1,000 V-Bucks and unlock premium rewards by earning XP anywhere in Fortnite. You can earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks back by progressing the pass, along with some seriously stellar Outfits:

• Nyanja (unlocked right away!): Two-tailed trickster.
• Jade: Discover the Island's myths.
• Kendo: A wandering rōnin with a restless spirit.
• Daigo: Man of a thousand faces.
• Shadow Blade Hope: See through the shadows.
• Disney’s Hero Baymax: Ready to be your hero.
• The Night Rose: A fearsome demon warrior, bound by ancient duty.

And the legends are true. Become a true Titan as Godzilla!

The Godzilla Evolved Outfit will be available from Battle Pass Quests in January, which you can complete in any experience! This Battle Pass will be available to progress in until February 21 at 2 AM ET / 4 PM JST.
