After a handful of teases of things to come, Fortnite has finally revealed what players can look forward to in Chapter 5 Season 3. Epic Games’ ubiquitous battle royale full of licensed crossovers is shifting into a post-apocalyptic gear just as Furiosa lands in theaters. As previously teased, a Fallout collaboration will be part of the latest season, but that’s not all.
Players can expect to get their hands on an iconic X-Men villain and explore a desert wasteland that is legally distinct from the timely Mad Max series but leans heavily into the same vehicular-centric sandy vibes. Chapter 5 Season 3 is officially titled Wrecked and is officially live right now and, as mentioned, it’s wearing an off-brand Mad Max costume. Changes to the map in the form of a ferocious sandstorm that has left behind wreckage and brought new enemies have given it the new name of the Wasteland.
..which is just what they call the world in George Miller’s franchise.
Car combat is highlighted in the new trailer , and Nitro will be a big part of the action as it will increase the speed of players and vehicles. The new War Bus will be one such vehicle, a massive car decked out with two cannons for you to wreak havoc with. Also on the map will be new locations like the Nitrodome.
Epic Games It just so happens that Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga also releases in theaters today, so Fortnite is clearly hoping to capitalize on people coming out of the theater and wanting to play something with similar vibes.
