After making players wait for longer than expected, Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 1 is finally available to start playing. The new Fortnite season shakes things up, adding new gameplay experiences such as LEGO Fortnite (from December 7), Rocket Racing (December 8), and Fortnite Festival (December 9). In terms of the core Fortnite experience, Epic Games adds a new Battle Pass, which finally brings Peter Griffin to Fortnite. That’s on top of new gameplay features like weapon mods and wall climbing, new vehicles, weapons, items and lots more.
