Fortnite, Epic Games' immensely popular multiplayer online battle royale, continues to thrill players with its array of giant adversaries.

Known for its diverse crossovers, Fortnite has previously featured special character skins inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wonder Woman, and even the beloved Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku.
In Chapter 6 Season 1, Fortnite is expanding its roster of guest characters by introducing Godzilla, specifically his supercharged Evolved form from the recent film "Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire." This skin will be available to Battle Pass owners starting January 17, 2024. The anticipation surrounding Godzilla's arrival has sparked discussions about potential future skins featuring other iconic Godzilla designs, as well as humorous remarks about Fortnite becoming the video game equivalent of the "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny."
Godzilla fans are well aware that the colossal creature's peaceful demeanor can shift at any moment, leading to a destructive rampage. Fortnite players will soon experience this firsthand with the launch of Version 33.20 on January 14, 2024. While an official start time hasn't been announced, Epic Games typically initiates server downtime at 4 AM PT, 7 AM ET, and 12 PM GMT to prepare for updates.

The update will focus heavily on the Monsterverse, with a trailer showcasing Godzilla's massive presence on the Fortnite Island. Additionally, a brief glimpse of a King Kong decal on a passing car hints at the possibility of Kong joining Godzilla as a formidable boss in Chapter 6 Season 1.
Fortnite has a history of epic battles against colossal foes like Galactus, Doctor Doom, and The Nothing.

Once the dust settles, fans can look forward to potential new additions, such as more TMNT characters and a much-anticipated crossover with Devil May Cry in the coming year.
