What to expect in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1
There aren’t a lot of confirmed details, but Fortnite is headed to Battlewood, according to a teaser from the Fortnite X account. As the map takes a spin on Hollywood, a bunch of iconic characters like The Bride from Kill Bill and Marty McFly from Back to the Future will be joining the universe. Additionally, you can expect a lot of content catered around these titles. As an example, you can tune in to Quentin Tarantino’s The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge as it premieres in Fortnite on Nov. 30 at 2 p.m. EST.
As per gameplay changes, there will be a new map as always, but dropping onto the island will be entirely different. According to Shiina on X, players will now surf a tsunami onto the island instead, potentially limiting the number of areas that you can go and eliminating the battle bus altogether.
For Fortnite Festival fans, Chapter 7 will start with a new headliner: Lisa. The global superstar from Blackpink will come with a new battlepass and three of her songs: FUTW, New Woman, and Rockstar.
