Fortnite Chapter 6: What to Expect
While Season 8 brings the Sabrina Carpenter collaboration, whispers of Chapter 6 are already circulating. Reliable leakers point to a December 1st, 2024 launch date. This ambitious chapter promises new skins, exciting mechanics, and a revamped map. Leaks suggest a potential cosmic or futuristic theme, with at least 31 new skins, including some humorous "meme skins."
New Gameplay Mechanics on the Horizon
Huge changes are rumored for gameplay. Prone mechanics, allowing players to lie flat for cover, and swinging mechanics, possibly building on previous iterations like the Web-Shooters, could fundamentally alter combat and traversal. This could make for a much more tactical and strategic gameplay experience.
