Epic Games has revealed Fortnite Season 8 and have finally released the official trailer which shows pirates, lava and volcano. At this point, the Season 8 downtime has begun and players are waiting for Season 8 to finally kick in the game.
After chilling things for the Season 7, Epic has decided that now it is time to heat things up and for that they have added lava and a volcano for Season 8. We now have pirates, ninjas and new locations to explore in the new Season 8.
The theme of the new season is also marked by the treasure hunting and it looks like players will be hunting for treasures in this season. The main tag line of this season is ‘X marks the Spot’. The new season is also bringing tons of new things to the game.
Before we begin with the items and battle pass, check out the Season 8 trailer below.
The major addition to the game for this season is a new Cannon which is excellent at mowing down enemy structures and dealing damage to other fortifications in the game. Players can also get inside one and launch themselves across the map with them.
If you manage to hit an enemy with it, it will deal 100 damage and it also has 50 splash damage over a small area. New locations include Sunny Steps and Lazy Lagoon. With the arrival of the volcano, we now have lava on the map as well which will deal damage to players if they fall in it.
All winter special items which include Sneaky Snowman, Chiller Grenade, Shopping cart, All Terrain Kart and X-4 Stormwing have all been removed from the game. Instead players can use the Volcano to bounce in the air although it will damage them or simply use the Volcanic Vents to launch themselves in the air.
Just like every other season, Season 8 also comes with its own Battle Pass. You can watch the video below which shows what you can expect in the Season 8 Battle Pass.
Apart from new additions, the new update will also bring many new fixes, updates and improvements. Check out the official patch notes for additional details.
