Chapter 4 of Fortnite’s Battle Royale has arrived. Forge ahead and discover new ways to explore the island – propel yourself with the shockwave hammer, ride inside a snowball, commandeer a dirt bike and blast through obstacles on your way. Launch your own unique path across the island while augmenting your gameplay with new Reality Augments. Enter an all-new island with Doom Slayer and Geralt of Rivia by purchasing and progressing through the Chapter 4 Battle Pass.
The new island… make it your domain
The Chapter 3 finale brought together a whole new island! Explore places like the Brutal Bastion among the mountains, the Citadel ruled by ‘The Ageless’, the Shattered Slabs mining facility, and more!
Not your ordinary courier..
Grab your trusty dirt bike steed. The Trail Thrasher is a great travel companion due to its speed and agility. Catch the Trail Thrasher, pull off a mad lap (or two), and bring new meaning to mounted combat in Chapter 4.
Become Powerful with Reality Augmentations
You will get a random choice of two reality boosts at different intervals during your match. The longer you survive in the match, the more reality boosts you will collect. Reality Augments can do things like allow you to drive without using fuel, give you different weapons, allow you to redeploy the glider for the rest of the match, and more.
Fight your way to victory
Sprinting on an obstacle will now make you step over or over it. Use this maneuver to surprise your opponents and gain height. Get creative with a combination of sprinting, manting and hurdling to outplay your opponents.
Take new weapons
There’s a whole new arsenal of weapons scattered across the island. Launch with the Shockwave Hammer, fire ballistic blades with the Ex-Caliber Rifle, and bring the thunder with the Thunder Shotgun. Also be sure to check out the Maven Auto Shotgun, Tactical Pistol, Red-Eyes Assault Rifle, and Twin Mag SMG.
Claim your territory
Stay around the capture point of a point of interest (POI) to capture it. POIs you’ve claimed will display your team’s banners, ensuring your competitors know who controls the territory. Capturing a POI will reward your team with loot, and in a POI under your team’s control, chests and opponents will be marked. Stay alert, others may try to claim the POI first.
Nature can be your best ally
Be aware of your surroundings, but in a good way – you never know what advantages are nearby. Grab Slap Berries for efficient health and unlimited short-term energy regeneration, build a snowball and roll inside it, and use Kinetic Ore to cast physical sorcery on your opponents.
The Chapter 4 Season 1 Battle Pass
This season’s Battle Pass summons a new cast of fighters. With the purchase of this season’s Battle Pass, you’ll immediately unlock the Selene outfit, and as you progress through the Battle Pass, you’ll be able to unlock outfits like The Ageless ruler and the Doom Slayer in your Nightmares. Later in the season, you can unlock a monster hunter for hire, Geralt of Rivia himself.
Here is Fortnite in full Unreal Engine 5
With the release of the new chapter, Fortnite Battle Royale now uses the latest and most innovative features of Unreal Engine 5, via Unreal Engine 5.1.
Unreal Engine 5 ushers in a generational leap in visual fidelity, bringing an unprecedented level of detail to fully immersive worlds, including Battle Royale Island. Next-gen Unreal Engine 5 features such as Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Temporal Super Resolution are now available in Fortnite Battle Royale on PlayStation 5.
Nanite, Lumen, virtual shadow maps and super temporal resolution
Nanites
Nanite provides highly detailed architectural geometry. Specifically, buildings are rendered from millions of polygons in real time, and every brick, stone, plank of wood, and wall trim is modeled.
The natural landscapes are also very detailed. Individual trees have about 300,000 polygons, and every stone, flower, and blade of grass is modeled.
Lumen
Lumen reflections provide high quality reflections off shiny materials and water.
Lumen provides real-time global illumination at 60 FPS. You’ll see beautiful interior spaces with indirect lighting, as well as characters reacting to the lighting in their surroundings. (For example, red carpets can reflect red light onto your outfit.) Additionally, outfits that have emissive (i.e., shiny) qualities will scatter light onto nearby objects and surfaces.
Virtual Shadow Maps
Virtual shade maps allow for very detailed shading. Every modeled brick, leaf, and detail will cast a shadow, and the characters’ self-shading is extremely accurate. This means that things like hats and other small character details will also cast shadows.
Super Temporal Resolution (TSR)
Temporal Super Resolution replaces Temporal Anti-Aliasing in Fortnite and enables high quality visuals at a high frame rate.
Experience Fortnite Battle Royale in a new way as you venture to the new island.
