New Fortnite season: Chapter 6 Hunters battle pass and map explained
Godzilla? Is that you?
The new Fortnite season is finally here with the Japanese-themed Chapter 6 Season 1, which has also introduced Godzilla and Baymax from Big Hero 6, alongside other skins and a fresh new map.
This season has introduced all-new movement mechanics, too, such as wall runs, wall jumps, and rolls when jumping from higher places - although fall damage remains in the game.
Below, we've outlined all you need to know about this fresh chapter and season in Fortnite, including every skin included in the battle pass and how much this new season costs after receiving a price increase.

What's in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 battle pass?
Showing item 1 of 14
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 will feature Godzilla and Big Hero 6's Baymax, alongside plenty of original skins, with Baymax being part of the battle pass while Godzilla is this season's extra character, releasing halfway through.
The last season eschewed movie characters in favour of rap stars, so these recognisable film icons should make a nice change of pace.
Playing as Baymax from Big Hero 6 will be amazing, but he is quite deep into the battle pass. So, it's time to hit up some Fortnite XP maps, then!
Upon loading up the game, you'll notice that Godzilla has its own rewards section in the battle pass, which should be fun, and his challenges are set to drop later.
It has also been revealed that Fortnite OG is returning and here to stay. This will be added to the game on 6th December.
With the launch of Chapter 6 Season 1, all battle passes in Fortnite progress simultaneously, and it’s been confirmed that Fortnite Crew is set to include the Music Pass and LEGO Pass at no extra cost from 1st December.
The Fortnite OG Pass will also be added to Crew subscriptions when it launches on 6th December.
Another thing to note is that the Battle Royale Battle Pass Premium cost is going up from 950 to 1,000 V-Bucks.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 map changes
This season also boasts an entirely new map with plenty of fresh locations that contribute towards the overarching Japanese theme of this season.
From the moment you first drop into a new game, it's hard not to recognise how vibrant and colourful the game is now, thanks to all the new locations.

- Brutal Boxcars
