[h=1]Fortnite’s new battle pass includes Aquaman and customizable umbrellas[/h]

There’s also a cat in a mech suit if that’s more your thing



Fortnite’s newest season is here, and that means a whole slew of new skins to unlock through the battle pass. This season’s pass has a distinctly nautical theme, which makes sense now that the entire map is flooded, but there’s more than just ocean accessories to unlock this time around.
The top-tier skins are all variations on old classics, though. One of them is a new female knight skin with dark armor and red accents that echos Fortnite’s older knight skins from the early seasons. Meanwhile, the second skin is a fox-masked character with dark clothes and lightning crackling around him, which calls back to season 5’s Drifter skin.
On top of those regular skins, the battle pass is also the key to unlocking the new Aquaman skin, but you’ll also need to complete some challenges to get it. This is the second season in a row that a superhero has joined the Fortnite cast after Deadpool crashed season 2.
A completely new addition to this season’s pass is the new customizable umbrella glider. Umbrella gliders have long been reserved as each season’s victory reward — meaning you only unlocked one after you won a match that season — but Epic is changing things up a bit. Players will unlock this umbrella at battle pass level 5, but that will only get you the most basic version. From there players can earn dozens of customizable pieces so they can create exactly the umbrella they want.
The season 3 battle pass costs players 950 V-Bucks ($9.50) to unlock the full pass, or you can spend 2,800 ($24.99) V-Bucks to unlock the battle pass and its first 25 levels. If you’d rather not pay for the pass, you’ll still be eligible for the free rewards — which are a lot less exciting than the skins. However, you can always start with a free battle pass, then unlock the full version when you’ve earned a few levels. As always, your progress will carry over.
The season 3 battle pass is available in-game now, and is set to last until Aug. 26.

[h=1]Fortnite is out of ‘early access,’ Save the World no longer going free to play[/h]

Epic Games says it’s slowing down development of Fortnite’s original mode



Fortnite is dropping its early access label, Epic Games announced on Tuesday, as part of a change to the game’s original survival mode, Save the World.
More importantly, Epic said that it’s reversing plans to make Save the World free to play, and will slow down development of the mode, which has long been overshadowed by Fortnite’s battle royale component. Save the World will also “no longer be able to support all upcomingFortnite Battle Royale cosmetic purchases, but your existing library of cosmetics will continue to function in both modes.”
While Epic said that new content for Save the World will slow down, “the adventure doesn’t end here for Save the World.” On the game’s official blog, Epic wrote, “All paid Founders will have their Founder’s Packs upgraded to the next level and unlock all the rewards included in the upgraded pack ... free, courtesy of Homebase! Ultimate Edition owners will be granted the new Metal Team Leader Pack and 8,000 V-Bucks.”
Fortnite’s Save the World mode is getting a new feature called Ventures, a “season-long excursion that takes place in a seasonal zone with new and unique modifiers to tackle.” Each seasonal Venture will have new challenges where players can earn seasonal experience and seasonal rewards.
Ventures will also usher in a new annual seasonal schedule, Epic said: “As we roll out Ventures, we’re shifting to an annual recurring seasonal schedule where existing in-game narratives and events, such as Frostnite and Dungeons, will continue on a seasonal rotation unique to Save the World and separate from Battle Royale.”
More details are available at Epic’s website.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
