Fortnite is shifting gears with its upcoming Chapter 6, season 2, which marks a departure from the Japanese-inspired Chapter 6 season 1. The new season, dubbed “Lawless,” will feature a gritty and street-level aesthetic, as hinted at by an eerie teaser video showcasing “Crime City.” This urban jungle appears to be inspired by Gotham City, minus Batman.
Players can expect a thug version of Midas to return to the game, possibly in the battle pass. Gold bars littering the streets have sparked rumors about another heist season, a prospect that has some fans excited despite previous seasons’ limitations. However, this new take seems different from previous “slick” style heists.
The question on everyone’s mind is whether Fortnite can successfully collaborate with Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise characters like Tommy Vercetti or CJ. While it’s uncertain how Rockstar would react to such crossovers, Epic Games has already collaborated with major franchises like Marvel and Star Wars. A potential collaboration could lead to the creation of unique skins inspired by GTA villains or other notable characters.
The new season promises a distinct vibe from past seasons, which may appeal to fans looking for a change of pace. As the release date approaches on February 21, 2025, players are eagerly anticipating the gameplay and possible collab skins that will result from this partnership.
