As the next Fortnite season approaches, more details are surfacing about what’s on the horizon. Although there may be a brief return to Chapter 2, plenty of new features and key changes to the Fortnite Battle Pass are expected. Our team have provided the lowdown on all things Fortnite, so buckle in to learn about the exciting developments around the corner.
Fortnite Battle Pass
The Battle Pass has always been central to Fortnite gameplay, encouraging players to progress and earn rewards. With the premium pass, players can unlock numerous skins and other cosmetics. Traditionally, unlocking items has followed a structured path, requiring players to complete specific quests and consistently engage with the game to access their desired rewards.
Starting soon, some notable changes to the Fortnite Battle Pass will take effect. Among these changes, players will now be able to combine Battle Passes across different game modes, such as the new Lego Fortnite mode. Additionally, players will have more flexibility to select specific rewards. These updates come from leaked information shared by Fortnite insiders.
The Fortnite Battle Pass has been a staple of the game across nearly all its seasons, but the upcoming season will introduce some significant adjustments. One major change involves the removal of Battle Stars, which have long been used to unlock cosmetic items as players progress. Instead of using stars, rewards will now unlock automatically as players reach new levels, removing an extra layer in the process.
Previously, Battle Stars allowed players to choose the order in which they unlocked rewards, at least within specific groups, before unlocking the next tier. With the upcoming change, that level of customisation will be removed. However, players who prefer to purchase levels now have a different option. Individual rewards from the pass will be available for direct purchase, enabling players to acquire a single item, like a specific skin, without completing the entire pass. Although details are still emerging, this aligns with Fortnite’s move toward eliminating Battle Pass exclusivity.
More About Fortnite Passes
Currently, Fortnite offers multiple passes: the main Battle Royale Battle Pass, the Festival Pass, and the Lego Pass, each operating independently. Managing multiple passes can be challenging, as each one requires its own currency and doesn’t contribute to progress in other modes.
The new Battle Pass changes aim to simplify this. Players will now be able to progress through all passes simultaneously, regardless of the mode they’re playing. All passes will also be accessible in one place, making it easier for dedicated players to track their progress, especially those who aim to collect all available Fortnite skins. With these changes just days away, the upcoming season is set to bring exciting updates to the game’s structure and accessibility.
