Is Fortnite advancing the return of Chapter 1? It seems so

Fortnite seems like it will return to its roots, since several posts on social media have hinted that we will return to Chapter 1 of the game, but in what way?

Fortnite was launched in early access in 2017. While its resounding success wouldn’t come until much later, it is undeniable that the game has an economic and cultural impact that is hard to quantify without considering what it means for an entire generation. Ultimately, it’s a game that, for many children, is the one they grew up with. For this reason, because it has accompanied them into adolescence or even their early adulthood, there are people who already feel nostalgia for Fortnite. And this is something that Epic Games is well aware of.

This is demonstrated by the fact that Fortnite’s Twitter account shared an image of the classic Battle Bus from Chapter 1. With a concise message, “Sprint (or Mantle, your choice) back to Chapter 1….see you soon 11.3.2023” — or “Sprint (o Mantle, lo que más te guste) de vuelta al Capítulo 1… nos vemos pronto 3-11-2023” in Spanish — along with the hashtag FortniteOG, they leave us with little doubt about what’s coming for one of the most played online games in the world.

And if there were any doubts, the people at Epic are making sure there aren’t. Not when Epic’s Vice President and Co-founder, Mark Rein, tweeted just before that “the keyword for the next Fortnite season is: rewind!” This gives us the understanding that, indeed, we are going back in time.

But, what does this exactly imply? Most likely, we will return to play on the same map as in Chapter 1. The possibility that all the changes made over time will be reversed is too extreme, but taking a small nostalgic trip through that map that was the background noise of the community for so many years is an exceptional, intelligent idea that would make many people very happy. So it seems evident what is happening.

In any case, we won’t have to wait much longer. As the tweet rightly says, the mystery will be solved on November 3rd. Therefore, even if we still don’t know exactly what they are cooking up, we won’t have to wait long to find out.

The complete game that you can play within ‘Fortnite’

‘Alan Wake: Flashback’ is a way to play the most important points of that game without leaving ‘Fortnite’. As it is: it is a special scenario from the famous video game.

It seems quite clear that Epic Games trusts ‘Alan Wake 2’ despite it being released 13 years after the first part. In this long decade, there has been time to release two DLCs, an independent game (‘American Nightmare’), a DLC for another game (‘Control’), a miniseries, two books, and two comics. And now, a new game that you can play within ‘Fortnite‘. But it’s neither a novelty nor a retro title, but quite the opposite.

Alan, Wake Me Up

And the developers are aware that not everyone will remember what happened in that Xbox 360 game, so they have decided to provide a summary and an update in the most original way possible. ‘Alan Wake: Flashback’ is a way to experience the most important points of that game without leaving ‘Fortnite’. That’s right: it’s a special scenario that revisits everything.

You won’t take more than half an hour to finish it and you’ll start looking at the calendar, eager for the 27th to arrive, to find out how the terrifying story continues. The price? Nothing. That’s right. How to play it? It’s easy: you can enter through Fortnite Discover or on the island with the code 3426-5561-3374. The return to Bright Falls will make you rush to get the remaster of ‘Alan Wake‘ if you don’t have it yet, so be careful: one way or another, you’re going to end up spending the bucks. The first one is always free, you know.

By the way, the main character will make his appearance during Fortnite’s Halloween festivities alongside none other than Michael Myers himself. What does that mean? In ‘Alan Wake: Flashback,’ the protagonist won’t be him, but a character with cat ears, Naruto, or the skin of your choice. That’s the price to pay for having everything in one place, after all. ‘Fortnite’ is becoming a game for everything (promoting movies, creating meta-video games, and, of course, preparing its multiple seasons), and it seems like it will continue to be with us for decades. With ideas like this, that’s perfectly understandable.

This is Halloween in Fortnite: Jack Skellington arrives… and Michael Myers too!?

Their new crazy crossover comes related to Halloween and, of course, masks, skeletons and machetes run everywhere.

There’s no doubt that ‘Fortnite‘ is becoming like a party where you used to invite only a select few every week, a small group to have fun, and in the end, even the cousin of someone’s brother who dropped by once is showing up. But it doesn’t matter: it’s still fun, it’s still making money. How can we ask them to stop? Their new crazy crossover is related to Halloween, and of course, masks, skeletons, and machetes are everywhere.

There are colored lights

There will be three guests in ‘Fortnite’, starting with the most obvious one, Alan Wake, who is getting a sequel in January 2024, and Epic wants to promote it by any means necessary. It has been 13 years since the first part, and fans have been wanting more for a long time. Maybe not by shooting and jumping off the battle bus, but well, any publicity is good publicity, right?

The second guest is Jack Skellington, the protagonist of ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, which is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year. A sequel has always been in the air (it’s said that Disney wanted to move away from stop-motion animation and make it computer-generated to cut costs) until it was published in the form of a novel in 2022. But if you haven’t heard of ‘Long Live the Pumpkin Queen’, there’s a reason. Let’s just say it didn’t make history.

Finally, a bloodthirsty and immortal killer: Michael Myers, the protagonist of the 13 ‘Halloween’ movies, the latest one being exactly a year ago, always ready with a machete to finish off all the teenagers (or, in this case, the island’s inhabitants) he can. Hopefully, next year, there will be a group with Chucky, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Krueger. A truly epic Halloween.

The event has been named Fortnitemares, and frankly, slashing like in an old-school slasher movie is exactly what the game needed. It makes jumping off the bus all the more exciting.

Crazy Combo: GTA Meets Fortnite in an Unexpected and Wild Idea

A Japanese user thought it would be fun to recreate GTAV on a map for Fortnite, and he did, but we'll never get to play it.

The world of video games proves that there’s nothing more untrue than the notion that people wouldn’t work if not compelled to. Countless individuals invest absurd amounts of time creating mods, levels, and recreations for their video games completely free of charge, without expecting anything in return. Simply for the joy of doing it. And perhaps the most surprising recent example is someone deciding to create a video game within another video game.

Fortnite DOWNLOAD

In a truly remarkable feat, ka2aki86 has embarked on the ambitious project of recreating GTA V within the realm of Fortnite. Harnessing the power of available user tools, specifically Creative 2.0 and the UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite), this ingenious gamer has brought Los Santos to life from start to finish on a fully playable map, all within the vibrant and pop-style world of Fortnite. While the result is a colorful and unmistakably recognizable rendition of Los Santos, it’s also an experience that will unfortunately remain out of reach.

Despite the map’s undeniable playability—as evidenced by ka2aki86’s video demonstration—the creator has chosen not to release it to the community. This decision isn’t driven by selfishness, but rather a legitimate fear of legal repercussions from Take-Two Interactive’s legal team. Take-Two Interactive is notorious for aggressively addressing any and all community efforts related to their game, even when those endeavors are in favor of the game itself.

That’s why, unfortunately, this project will have the same fate as other previous ones, like videotechx’s. A user who ported Michael de Santa’s mansion into Fortnite using the UEFN, but never released it to the rest of the users for the exact same reason.

Hence, even though it’s true that the community is tireless and their work commendable, the work of Take-Two Interactive’s lawyers is even more so. And until they have more leeway with this kind of minor copyright infringement, we won’t be able to enjoy these authentic fantasies.

Sorcery and Spectacle: All You Need to Know About the Upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen Video Game!

Jujutsu Kaisen comes to Fortnite, as a group of data miners have discovered, with its main protagonists in the form of skins.

Jujutsu Kaisen has recently released its second anime season, which is proving to be a great success. Despite all this, we still do not have a video game of the franchise. While it is true that a fighting title of the same was announced last July, Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, we will still have to wait to be able to play a video game with our favorite wizards of the fiction. Except that Epic Games, once again, has decided to beat everyone else to the punch.

Fortnite DOWNLOAD

That’s because several Fortnite dataminers have uncovered data in the game’s latest update about a crossover with the popular anime of the moment. The rumors began when HypeX tweeted that Fortnite would be collaborating with a “well loved and well known” anime saga, confirming itself with the work of dataminers in recent days.

Still without a release date or official announcement, what we know at the moment is that there will be skins of Nobara Kugisaki, Megumi Fushiguro and Satoru Gojo. If we have some certainty that this is true is because this kind of information extracted with data mining has been accurate in most cases in the past, so it is not daring to assume that it is a matter of time before Epic Games confirms it. So we can only wait to enjoy this peculiar, but at this point not too surprising, collaboration between two popular franchises.

¿Un videojuego de Jujutsu Kaisen? Parecido, esto es lo que sabemos

Jujutsu Kaisen llega a Fortnite, según han descubierto un grupo de mineros de datos, con sus principales protagonistas en forma de skins.

Jujutsu Kaisen ha estrenado recientemente su segunda temporada de anime, que está siendo todo un éxito. A pesar de todo, aún no tenemos un videojuego de la franquicia. Si bien es cierto que se anunció un título de lucha del mismo el pasado julio, Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, aún tendremos que esperar para poder jugar a un videojuego con nuestros hechiceros favoritos de la ficción. Salvo porque Epic Games, una vez más, ha decidido adelantarse a todos los demás.

Fortnite DESCARGAR

Esto se debe a que varios dataminers de Fortnite han descubierto datos en la última actualización del juego sobre un crossover con el popular anime del momento. Los rumores comenzaron cuando HypeX twitteó que Fortnite colaboraría con una saga de anime «muy querida y conocida», confirmándose con el trabajo de los dataminers en los últimos días.

Aún sin fecha de lanzamiento ni anuncio oficial, lo que sabemos de momento es que habrá skins de Nobara Kugisaki, Megumi Fushiguro y Satoru Gojo. Si tenemos cierta seguridad de que esto es cierto es porque esta clase de información extraída con minería de datos ha sido acertada en la mayoría de casos en el pasado, por lo cual no es atrevido suponer que es cuestión de tiempo que lo confirme Epic Games. Por lo cual solo nos queda esperar para poder disfrutar de esta peculiar, pero a estas alturas no demasiado sorprendente, colaboración entre dos populares franquicias.

When Pranksters Prevail: The Epic Haircut Hoax that Fooled a Fortnite Streamer

Lacy shaved her head to zero as a strange form of thanks. And at the same time that it did, the user requested a return of the donation.

The world (and the concept, actually) of Twitch is definitely something you couldn’t explain to someone who has never opened the website. Seriously, try explaining to your parents the idea of paying to watch free content of a person reacting to other things. As part of this new kind of begging, streamers are willing to do all sorts of things to make ends meet (after, of course, giving half to the company itself). This is the case of Lacy, a ‘Fortnite’ player who, after what he did, is going to lose his hair.

Shaved and Shamed

Shaved and Betrayed: Lacy, a prominent ‘Fortnite’ player with 83,000 followers on Twitch, has been making waves in the streaming world. Currently in the midst of an 11-day Bitathon, where he continues to stream as long as viewers donate bits (which essentially means money). However, a week ago, on day 3, someone threw a curveball at him. Instead of a $10 subscription or a modest $100 prize, the viewer offered a whopping $25,092. As a reward for reaching this milestone, Lacy shaved his head down to the skin in an unusual form of gratitude.

Specifically, the amount totaled 251,092 bits. As a reward for reaching this milestone, Lacy shaved his head completely as a strange form of gratitude. However, in the very moment he did it, the user requested a refund for the donation. Ah, the old trick. It turns out it was all part of a well-planned troll: the user deactivated their Twitch account, blocked Lacy on Twitter, and even within ‘Fortnite’ itself. Moreover, apparently, this wasn’t the first time they had done something like this. Spoiler alert: No, Lacy’s hair hasn’t miraculously grown back with the money refund.

Now, Lacy has to keep playing knowing that he has been pranked in every possible way for a good number of days until the chat decides to stop giving him money. Frankly, we all wish we had the problem of earning too much in exchange for shaving our heads. My price starts at 1,500 euros.

Fortnite Season 3 Unveiled in Spectacular Fashion at Summer Game Fest

Fortnite is one of the biggest games in the world, so it should come as no surprise that Season 3 was announced at Summer Game Fest.

Fortnite is one of the most popular games in the world, and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Chapter 4’s Season 3 had a brief trailer at this Summer Game Fest, showcasing the game’s main updates to the entire gaming community. Featuring the new jungle environment, Transformers, and, of course, the return of dinosaurs, this season promises to be packed with fun.

The Season 4 of Fortnite’s Chapter 3 will premiere at 7 a.m. on Friday, June 9, which means we are just hours away from its release. So, for once, we can say that Geoff has shown us something without making us wait too long.

Level Up Your Fortnite Skills: Crack the Code of Week 10 Missions in Chapter 4 Season 2

Season 2 of Chapter 4 of Fortnite is coming to an end, so we explain how to farm all the missions of week 10.

As every week, Fortnite has five new missions to complete. This being the tenth week, that means that we are already close to the end of season 2, which comes to an end on June 9, so it is important to get your batteries to get all the rewards you have pending. If you don’t want to miss anything, follow our guide carefully to make sure you farm those juicy XP you need to get all the rewards you have your eye on.

Hang “Where’s Miles?” posters (3)

To complete this weekly mission in Fortnite you must do something very simple: place three “Where’s Miles?” signs. You can only do this in specific locations marked on the map, which appear when you select this challenge from the main menu of the game. To complete this task you will need to go to key points located in Mega City, Kinetic Quarry, Bubbling Bay, or the one located between Brutal Bastion and Medieval Dock, so keep an eye out for crossfire when trying to place those posters.

Collect gold bars in Brutal Bastion, Grandiose Farm or The Citadel (50)

Brutal Bastion, Grandiose Farm, and The Citadel are three locations that will be familiar to you from nothing you’ve played Fortnite this season. If you select this challenge from the game’s main menu, you’ll see them highlighted on the map, and it will be for good reason. That reason is that to collect gold bars you’ll have to take out enemies in Battle Royale and Zero Build modes, open coffers, cash registers and safes, smash environmental objects like couches, beds and washing machines, or by completing Contracts. Another good way to achieve this is by claiming the capture point of one of these locations, as it will reward you with gold bars and other valuable items for your game – a faster and more fun way to accomplish this particular mission, if you want to focus on finishing it as soon as possible.

Eliminate a player before the first phase of the storm starts

In this mission, in any game mode, we must eliminate a player before the first circle of the storm begins. That means we have just a minute and a half to get it, so we will have to look for one of the areas where more players usually fall, such as Mega City or The Citadel, to finish off an opponent as we touch the ground. If you get a weapon before the first player you encounter, it is very likely that you will be able to complete this mission faster than it usually takes you to decide where on the map you are going to jump off the bus.

Survive to reach the top 50 without eliminating anyone

Here you will have to play Solo or Duo and manage to survive long enough to be among the top 50 without having eliminated anyone. Obviously, besides the fact that this is easier playing solo, your best bet is to drop in a less busy place like north of Brutal Bastion or south of Kinetic Quarry, and stay hidden for as long as possible. If you do this and stay as far away from the other players as possible, reaching the top 50 shouldn’t be a problem, apart from the lack of excitement of being hidden behind a hedge.

Collect and keep 5 different rarity items

This is the mission that gives the most experience points, but it is also the one that can end up giving you the most headaches. Here you will have to get five objects, each of a different rarity, and finish the game with them. For that you will have to open chests or find them lying on the ground and use the upgrade banks to get better versions of these items, being able to upgrade them up to the legendary level. If you keep this in mind and go carefully, it shouldn’t be a problem to complete the weekly missions and finish this season of Fortnite without any problems.

Fortnite Introduces Ranked Mode: A Complete Guide to the New Season

The ranked mode comes to Fortnite and we explain everything you need to know to get the most out of it from the first minute.

Fortnite has never had a competitive mode like other battle royale games. Until now. Because while it’s true that Fortnite has always had the Arena mode, a game mode where you earn points to level up based on eliminations and final placement, Fortnite had never had a Ranked mode. This mode has arrived with the 24.40 patch.

Fortnite DOWNLOAD

Fortnite will follow a classic ranked division, where players will be ranked from bronze, the lowest level, to unreal, the highest. Matches can be played in Battle Royale mode, both solo and in duos or teams, and in Zero Build, only in duos. If we play solo, we will be matched with people of similar skill level, and if we play with others, we will be matched based on the highest skill level among our teammates. Points to rank up are earned based on placement and eliminated players. But here’s the twist: as the match progresses, eliminations become more valuable, and when awarding points, both the rank of the eliminated players and their team are taken into account. So, there is also an advantage to playing with friends who have a higher skill level than us, if we can keep up with the pace.

As is common in ranked systems, our rank will be reset at the end of each season, with Battle Royale and Zero Build modes having separate ranks. The rank division is as follows:

  • Bronze (1, 2, 3)
  • Silver (1, 2, 3)
  • Gold (1, 2, 3)
  • Platinum (1, 2, 3)
  • Diamond (1, 2, 3)
  • Elite
  • Ace
  • Unreal

Additionally, upon reaching the Unreal rank, players will have a number indicating their position in the ranking among all players. This provides an incentive to become the number one player in Fortnite in two different game modes and show off their competitive skills. This opportunity is available to those interested in showcasing their abilities starting today.
