Fortnite Chapter 6 leak hints at Godzilla crossover ahead of December release

Fortnite Chapter 6 is only days away and substantive leaks on what to expect have finally started to drop.

The next chapter of Fortnite will have a Japanese theme and feature the country’s cinematic and cultural icon Godzilla, according to the leaks.

Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR has posted what purports to be promotional art for the next chapter of Fortnite. It includes both Godzilla and Baymax, the inflatable robot character from Pixar’s Big Hero 6.

This joins recent rumours Fortnite also has a tie-in with James Cameron’s Avatar movie franchise on the way.

The next season of the game will reportedly be titled Hunters, and will have a new forest biome where the trees are all purple.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1’s main content may have a little more of a struggle keeping players hooked, though, because it will have to compete with Fortnite OG.

Chapter 6 launches on Sunday December 1, but less than a week later (on Friday December 6) Fortnite OG will be released. This is a recreation of the version of Fortnite Chapter 1 from 2017, complete with the original map. It’s a substantive mode that won’t disappear after the usual season-long stint, and will get its own battle pass.

The current season of Fortnite is also a throwback, Chapter 2 Remix. It will end with an in-game concert that begins at 8pm on Saturday November 30.

Chapter 2 Remix The Finale will feature Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice and Juice WRLD, each appearing in a different game world. Rapper Juice WRLD died in 2019, but was known to be a huge fan of Fortnite and has featured prominently in this season, as a tribute to the musician.

A Juice WRLD skin is also available to claim right now, up until the finale event on November 30.
