When did Godzilla arrive in Fortnite?

Godzilla arrived in Fortnite on 17th January 2025 as part of Chapter 6 Season 1.

To learn all of the key details about this Godzilla collab, you can take a look at the video above — courtesy of the Radio Times Gaming YouTube channel. It'll teach you, using first-hand gameplay experience, how to get the Godzilla skins and the Godzilla Medallions in Fortnite.

If you prefer your gaming guides in written form, we've got you covered below with the article version of this story. Good luck taking on Godzilla!

How to get Godzilla skin in Fortnite

To unlock the Godzilla Evolved skin in Fortnite, you must complete a series of quests in Godzilla's separate section of the Hunters battle pass.

The quests went live on 17th January and they will be available to complete until 21st February, Epic has now confirmed.

Here's an important point — you must have paid for the current Fortnite: Hunters battle pass if you want to unlock the skin this way!

The design of the Godzilla skin looks to take inspiration from the monster's latest movie appearance in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024).

How to get King Kong and Mechagodzilla skins in Fortnite

To get the King Kong and Mechagodzilla skins in Fortnite, players can simply buy them from the Item Shop.

That's right, folks! Godzilla isn't the only MonsterVerse icon bursting in Fortnite this week to cause chaos — King Kong and Mechagodzilla are here for the party, as well.

You can buy King Kong and Mechagodzilla as individual skins, or you can get them together in a bundle with some other goodies.

Fortnite Godzilla boss battle: How to get the medallion explained

To get the medallion (and the Burst Quad Launcher) from the Godzilla boss fight in Fortnite, you need to deal the most damage to Godzilla.

As we detail in our video at the top of this page, you can earn the medallion by dealing the most damage to Godzilla out of all players. You can deal more damage to Godzilla by shooting at its pink shiny bits.

You'll see the total percentage of damage you've dealt to Godzilla at the top of the screen.

If you win, you'll have the medallion and Burst Quad Launcher spawn on your location.

The medallion allows you to gain charges of dash over time for quick bursts of mobility. Be warned, though, as using it reveals your location on the map!

The official press release sums up Godzilla's presence on the island like so: "Starting 17th January, there’s a small chance for a portal to appear on the Battle Royale map.

"The first player to find and jump through it will emerge as the colossal titan Godzilla, who can Roar to reveal nearby players, send others flying with a Mighty Stomp Attack, and lay waste to players and structures with Heat Ray.

"Players can take down Godzilla and deal damage by picking up the unvaulted Rail Gun and take cover with the Shield Bubble.

"The player who deals the most damage to Godzilla will gain the Godzilla Medallion and the Burst Quad Launcher!"

How to become Godzilla in Fortnite explained

However, you can also become the real deal and roam the map as a full-sized Godzilla. And the steps to do this are slightly different.

At the start of every match, there's a chance that a Godzilla portal will spawn somewhere on the map. If you want to become Godzilla, you'll need to get there first!

Only one player can become Godzilla, so you'll need to hurry.

Fortnite is available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, mobile and PC.
