Season 4 of Fortnite Battle Royale has arrived. Go ahead and discover new ways to explore the island: push the shockwave with a hammer, ride a snowball, ride a mountain bike and overcome obstacles in your way. Create your own unique path on the island by upgrading your character with realistic new powers. Dive into a 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 end of Chapter 3 spawned a new island! Explore locations like a massive mountain fortress, a "domestic palace", a crushed stone quarry and more!
Not your average horse.
Find your trusted motocrosser. The Trail Thrasher is a great travel companion thanks to its speed and capacity. Grab a Trail Thrasher, pick up a ride or two (or two), and add new meaning to the epic Season 4 battle.
Let yourself be seduced by augmented reality
During gameplay, you are given a random choice between two reality options at different time intervals. The longer you stay out of the game, the more facts you can collect. Boosts can let you drive without using fuel, give you different weapons, reset cursors during gameplay, and more.
Standing on the path to victory
If you encounter an obstacle, you climb over it or over it. Use this technique to surprise your opponent and gain ground. Create a mix of sprints, cloaks and obstacles to beat your rivals.
Find new tools
There is a new arsenal spread all over the island. Pick up the shockwave hammer, shoot the ballistic blade with the old caliber shotgun and shoot the lightning with the thunder shotgun. Also make sure you have the Maven Auto Rifle, Tactical Pistol, Red-Eyes Assault Rifle, and Twin Mag SMG.
Request your land
Move the capture point to a point of interest (POI) to capture it. Claimed POIs will display your team's banners, letting the competition know who controls the territory. Capturing a POI will reward your team with loot, and chests and opponents will be marked with the POI controlled by your team. Be careful, others may try to request the point of interest first.
Nature can be your best ally.
Be aware of your surroundings, but in a good way: you never know who's around you. Grab a berry, build and roll a snowball for effective health and unlimited short-term energy regeneration, and use kinetic ore to deal physical damage to your opponents.
Chapter 4 Chapter 1 Battle Pass
This season's battle pass requires a new group of fighters. Purchasing this season's Battle Pass will instantly unlock Selene's outfit, and as you progress through the Battle Pass, you can unlock outfits like The Ageless and Doom Slayer in your fantasy. Over time, you can unlock Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter, for a fee.
Here is the full Fortnite Unreal Engine 5.
With the release of the new chapter, Fortnite Battle Royale now uses the latest and greatest features of Unreal Engine 5 with Unreal Engine 5.1.
Unreal Engine 5 delivers a next-gen 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 available in Fortnite Battle Royale on PlayStation 5.
Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps and Advanced Timing Accuracy
Nanette
Nanite offers a very detailed architecture. In particular, buildings are created in real time from millions of polygons and all bricks, stones, tiles and wall coverings are modeled.
The landscapes are also very detailed. Individual trees have about 300,000 polygons, and every stone, flower, and blade of grass is rendered.
The light
Lumens reflectivity provides high quality optical reflection on light and water.
Lumen provides real-time global illumination at 60 frames per second. You'll see beautiful interiors with sparkling lighting, as well as characters interacting with ambient lighting. (For example, a red carpet can cast red highlights on your dress.) Similarly, clothing with reflective properties scatters light onto surrounding objects and surfaces.
Virtual Shadow Maps
Virtual shade maps allow for very precise shading. Every brick, leaf and carved detail is shaded and the automatic function is very precise. This means details such as hats and other small figures will also cast shadows.
Transient Super Resolution (TSR)
Transient Super Resolution replaces Transient Anti-Aliasing in Fortnite and allows for higher resolution images at higher frame rates.
Experience Fortnite Battle Royale in a whole new way as you venture to the new island.
