Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Gameplay Trailer Has Leaked
Over on Twitter, , which comes from T💎witter user Guille_GAG. The launch trailer would likely have been shown following the ending of Fortnite Remix: The Finale, but it's been shared a few days a𒈔head of time by insiders who somehow had access to it.
The launch trailer gives us our best look yet at Chapter 6's map and shows how much the new theme has transformed 🅺things. More importantly, though, it shows us what's new in the gameplay department. One of the first new things that's shown is some improved parkour mechanics, as a player is shown rolling from a big jump and then being able to run up a wall. We a🎶lso see wall-jumping a bit later in the trailer.
Baymax is also shown off in the trailer and can be heard making his signature fist-bumping noise. I 🍸gues𓆏s that means Baymax is as powerful as Eminem and can actually speak on The Island.
We then get to see a🍎 katana melee weapon being used, which will likely be one of the new Mythic weapons found around the map. Th💫e trailer also puts a lot of attention on a blue blob that follows the player around and can seemingly be used to generate shields for the player and any surrounding allies.
As well as highlighting some big bosses that can be fought around the map, Fortnite Chapter 6 also seems to be introducing masks that can be worn and used for special powers, such as a fire mask that lets you shoot, you guessed it, fireballs. And, of course, the trailer ends just as Godzilla gets there to shake the ground and roar, backing up 🏅the leak that he's a boss character.
