Godzilla Joins Fortnite This Week

Fortnite enthusiasts, brace yourselves for an epic showdown! The iconic Japanese cinematic monster, Godzilla, is set to rampage across the Fortnite Island with the launch of Version 33.20 on January 14, 2024. This thrilling addition to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 is part of a crossover event that promises to bring the Monsterverse to life within the game.

Godzilla will not only appear as a formidable NPC boss, but there's also a chance that his longtime rival, King Kong, might join the fray, hinted at by a decal seen on a passing car in a recent trailer. Fans of the Monsterverse can look forward to two exclusive Godzilla skins, based on his supercharged Evolved appearance from "Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire," which will be available for Battle Pass owners starting January 17.

Fortnite's history of hosting giant opponents is well-documented, with past battles against the likes of Galactus, Doctor Doom, and The Nothing. Now, players must prepare for another colossal challenge as Godzilla unleashes his fury on the Island. The anticipation for this event has sparked discussions about potential future skins, including other famous Godzilla designs, as well as playful speculation about Fortnite becoming the ultimate crossover battleground.

As reported by Dexerto, the launch of Version 33.20 will likely involve server downtime starting at 4 AM PT, 7 AM ET, and 12 PM GMT, though no official start time has been confirmed yet. This update is poised to center around the Monsterverse, featuring Godzilla's destructive path through the game world.

Beyond the immediate excitement of Godzilla's arrival, the Fortnite community is buzzing with rumors and hopes for future content. Speculation includes the addition of more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters and a much-anticipated crossover with the Devil May Cry series. As the dust settles from Godzilla's rampage, players can look forward to what other surprises Fortnite has in store.
