New Mythics Arrive in Battle Royale

The Battle Royale island got three new mythics. Storm Beast’s Pom Poms are deceptively powerful and bring a cheerleader’s twist to combat. The Ascended Mist is a combination of the Mistform item and the Mist Gauntlets, letting players fly and attack in bird form.

A major change came to Supernova Academy where a secret launch bay bunker opened. This location teases travel to other planets, adding more intrigue to the ongoing storyline.

Blitz Royale: Mobile-First, Everyone-Welcome

Fortnite introduced a new limited-time mode (LTM) called Blitz Royale. It’s designed with mobile in mind, featuring 5-minute fast-paced matches, golden and silver llamas, and overpowered gear from the start. You even get a free medallion and weapon before landing.

Each week brings a theme. June 24 kicks off the Avatar week with bending scrolls. Week 3 brings back villains like Hades and Kado Thorne. Week 4 will be TMNT-themed with the return of melee classics like the Typhoon Blade and Nitro Fist.

Squid Game Collab Fully Revealed

The Squid Game crossover is dropping June 27. It includes customizable contestant skins and playable guards, with POIs and events inspired directly by the show. Players will complete challenges like Red Light Green Light, and receive VIP masks modeled after Meowscles, Fishtick, and Peely.

Bruno Mars Headlines Festival Season 9

Despite teasers for Deadmau5 and Daft Punk, Bruno Mars takes the spotlight for Fortnite Festival. He gets two new skins with Japan- and Brazil-themed styles, making up the new World Tour bundle. Season 9’s new main stage and outfit styles are already live.
