Chapter 6 of Fortnite has introduced some thrilling updates to the battle royale scene, setting an exciting tone for 2025. Reintroducing Fortnite OG and incorporating LEGO Fortnite Brick Life are just the highlights, as the game keeps expanding its universe. Naturally, fans are buzzing with curiosity about what the upcoming year holds. Over the years, Fortnite has established itself as a nexus for big crossovers and events, and this trend is set to continue into 2025.
While Epic Games has kept much of its 2025 roadmap under wraps, seasoned players can still anticipate certain developments. Though details remain scarce and not officially spelled out by Epic Games, Fortnite’s regular annual schedule helps in forecasting potential updates and new features. Surprises have always been part of Fortnite’s charm, and the game seems ready to uphold this tradition in 2025.
Moving on to what’s fresh and exciting, Godzilla is gearing up to make a grand entrance as part of the current Season’s battle pass starting January 17. Players will have the opportunity to tackle exclusive Godzilla-themed quests to unlock this new skin. Introducing Godzilla is a bold move to kick off 2025, setting high expectations for what’s next in line. Given Chapter 6’s inspiration stemming from Japanese culture, Godzilla fits perfectly. It also piques curiosity about other potential collaborations with renowned characters and franchises.
Rumors swirl around what’s next, with well-known leaker ShiinaBR hinting at a possible King Kong skin, although this remains unconfirmed.
Fortnite’s routine surveys frequently hint at potential new skins. Though not every design makes the cut, some do make their way into the game. A recent survey provided sneak peeks of 43 unique skins—ranging from an assassin-themed panda to a character reminiscent of Mothman. Notably, these skins carry a spooky theme, possibly teasing upcoming content for Fortnitemares 2025.
Meanwhile, Fortnite Ballistic, the new first-person mode introduced in early access, is set to see continuous improvement throughout 2025. While it’s uncertain if it will become a permanent feature, Epic Games has expressed a commitment to refining this mode and eventually taking it out of early access. With growing support, Fortnite Ballistic could become a mainstay.
Looking at crossover opportunities in 2025, the lineup of blockbuster movies could bring substantial media tie-ins to Fortnite. Although no official collaborations are announced yet, the array of anticipated releases opens doors for exciting promotions.
Among the potential collaborations, we might see a nod to Superman in light of James Gunn’s adaptation, thanks to Fortnite’s history with DC properties. Additionally, movies like The Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts hold promise given their Marvel roots, especially after Disney, Marvel’s parent company, invested a staggering $1.5 billion into Epic Games back in 2024. This investment only strengthens their collaborative potential.
As the year unfolds, Fortnite’s plan for 2025 will gradually reveal itself. Nonetheless, it’s safe to anticipate a lineup of major crossovers and mode updates throughout the year, further solidifying Fortnite’s status as a dynamic and ever-evolving gaming experience.
