Fortnite fans are calling for Epic Games to give the infamous Goku skin a long-awaited redesign, especially since the rest of the game's anime skins look so great.

The page has turned on another chapter of Fortnite Battle Royale, with Chapter 5 Season 1 beginning today after the conclusion of the game's hugely successful 2018 throwback season. The new season brought not only a new map and weapons, but also a somewhat contentious revamp of the game's movement animations. I'm just stuck on the Peter Griffin boss fight, though.
The Family Guy protagonist is joined by some of my favorite characters, Oscar, Nisha, Montague, and Valeria (I don't know who these people are) in some manner of sinister society of PvE bosses on the island. Mechanically, they're kind of sick: killing one confers a medallion that regenerates your shield over time, and stacking medallions speeds up the effect, but also shows your position to enemy players with increasing accuracy.
The new season's biggest and most controversial change is the revamped character animations. Epic demoed what appear to be smoother, more naturalistic running and crouch walking animations, but players are complaining that they feel slow and sluggish compared to before, with comments under <a data-analytics-id=«inline-link» href=«https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1731383042881810901?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet» target="_blank" data-url=«https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1731383042881810901?ref_src=» https:>Epic Twitter posts
and a YouTube showcase of the animations calling for a return to the old system.
The new map changes seem exciting though—I particularly like the look of Reckless Railways, a train actively running through the island that seems to lend itself to fun shootouts (as well as a new way to get around). The Grand Glacier Hotel also looks like a particularly characterful addition to the island.
Chapter 5 also introduces a slew of new weapons, most notably a Halo Infinite-style grapple hook and a weapon modding system. We'll see how things pan out with those movement animations, but otherwise? Chapter 5 Season 1 seems like a strong follow-up to Fortnite's record-breaking throwback season.

Epic Games just sent out the latest Fortnite player survey and it hints at possible collaborations with some highly-requested series like Five Nights at Freddy's, The Boys, and even some Nintendo properties.
Fortnite is the surprise hit of the winter gaming season. Although the battle royale game has maintained popularity for several years, it’s now seeing yet another massive surge in interest. Last week, Epic Games released several new modes that bring entirely different kinds of games to Fortnite. Among the additions is a rhythm game called Fortnite Festival. In it, players can form bands with others while playing as Fortnite characters. Now, players are using it to create the most absurd bands possible and share clips online as characters like Goku, Peter Griffin, Kratos, and Gojo hit the stage.
Fortnite Festival — the game's new rhythm-based mode developed by Rock Band studio Harmonix — will let you use your plastic guitars and drums in the future.
Wanting a piece of the Minecraft pie, Epic has teamed up with some iconic Danish toymakers to create their own flavour of a blocky open-world survival game and to help you jump in, we’ve got how to play LEGO Fortnite and if it is a separate game explained.
Fortnite’s long-awaited Chapter 5 will revamp the release’s traversal gameplay, while adding some headline new features, including a train and the ability to customise your weapon. All of this has been teased as part of a new trailer, which also shows off some previously leaked Battle Pass skins, including Solid Snake and Peter Griffin.
Gone are the days of scrounging up loot at dilapidated taco joints and rusty playgrounds in Fortnite. Epic Games released a massive new update to the battle royale game this week as part of Chapter 5 Season 1. The patch literally blew up the OG map with a meteor, replacing it with an entirely new, much fancier map. Instead of rough locales like Greasy Groves or Tomato Temple, players now explore palatial manors like Lavish Lair or the manicured vineyards of Pleasant Piazza. Fortnite is basically a fancy European vacation now, and it feels a bit outside my personal budget.
Epic Games wasn't resting on its laurels, it would seem, as following on from the dizzying heights of Fortnite OG, it has given us what we all wanted and put Peter Griffin in Fortnite — and we’ve got where to find him and how to get the skin explained.
Epic Games has changed the speed of Fortnite's storm circles following player feedback.
In Chapter 5 Season 1 players can track down NPC Characters to trade for useful items and perks. A total of eight NPCs can be found scattered across the new island, and players can trade with them using Gold Bars, a currency that’s earned from defeating enemies, opening chests, and more. Trading with NPCs can give you a valuable edge in combat and exploration.
With Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 1 the game has embarked on a subterranean adventure! It has ushered this following The Big Bang event that reshaped the Chapter 4 island. Branded as "Underground," this season introduces a myriad of changes, including a revamped island, novel gameplay elements like boss battles, LEGO-themed skins, and the inclusion of iconic characters such as Metal Gear's Solid Snake and Family Guy's Peter Griffin. The Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 1 update completely overhauls the battle royale landscape, introducing new locations like a functional railway with a travel-worthy train, marinas, mansions, and a fresh grassland area. Snow blankets certain areas, providing an immersive environmental shift.
Over the weekend, Epic Games made memes a reality by adding Family Guy family guy Peter Griffin to the all-consuming Fortnite universe.
