Skins and Collabs to Look Forward To
As always, new chapters in Fortnite come with killer themes. This year, we’ve seen everything from mythology to Marvel, and for Chapter 6, it looks like we’re headed for a superhero-themed season.
Leaker HYPEX shared some survey skins that could be coming, and many feature vibrant suits, capes, and elemental effects. On top of that, there’s a K-Pop collab rumored to drop during Fortnite Festival around the time Chapter 6 launches. While we don’t know which group yet, fans are buzzing with guesses—NewJeans, TWICE, Aespa, and Le Sserafim are all contenders.

New Mechanics Coming to Fortnite
Fortnite is about to get even more action-packed with some cool new mechanics:
• Swinging Mechanics: We’ve had similar stuff before with Spider-Man’s Web Shooters and Grapple Gloves, but Chapter 6 might bring something fresh to swinging!
• Prone Mechanics: This one’s new to Fortnite! If you’ve played games like PUBG, you’ll know how it works—you lie flat on the ground, perfect for sneaky heals, reloading, or hiding from enemies.
• First-Person Mode: Leakers are saying first-person mode will make its way into the core Battle Royale experience (so far, it’s only in UEFN and Creative Maps).
On top of that, rumors are swirling about weapon charms, creative pet support, and a floating island theme coming to the game in Chapter 6. Sounds pretty epic, right?
While these are leaks and nothing’s officially confirmed yet, one thing’s for sure—Chapter 6 is going to bring a ton of excitement to Fortnite.
