One of the biggest reveals of Chapter 2 Season 8's live event was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson being shown as the voice actor for the Foundation, a prominent character in Chapter 1 and 2's cinematics. The Foundation is a special skin that can be unlocked separately from the battle pass. There is no way to unlock the titular character, with his release date being February 3, 2022. There seems to be both a helmet and no helmet style for the skin, as w<br><br> <br>Earlier this December, **Fortnite ** upgraded its engine to Unreal Engine 5 from 4. Unreal Engine 4 already had ray tracing and a complex particle effect system that helped create polished graphics for Fortnite , but the upgrade has important features that game developers outside of Epic Games are also taking advantage of.

Not only does he help define what it is to be a member of the X-Men, but he also has two members of his family already in Fortnite . His son, Cable is playable in Fortnite already, and his wife, Jean Grey, was recently added as Dark Phoenix.

Already, the new map for Fortnite: Chapter 3 seems to be taking advantage of many of the higher-quality resolutions and open-world possibilities.

With Spider-Man crossing over onto Fortnite this season, Epic has added new web-shooters into the <a href="https://Marketingme.wiki/wiki/Fortnite:_What_Unreal_Engine_5_Switch_Could_Mean_For_The_Game">slg game beginner guide</a>. This item can only be used in Arena mode for now, and will most likely be released in every game mode by the time Spider-Man: No Way Home releases. Fortnite 's web-swinging has been widely praised by fans, even being compared to web-swinging in games like Marvel's Avenge<br><br> <br>Fortnite 's Chapter 3 spared no expense when it came to new mechanics. From sliding to swinging like Spider-Man, the game feels fresh. Starting with sliding, mobility feels so much better than it had previously, with scaling down cliffs being much easier and faster to do. There are also some new trees scattered around Fortnite 's island that can be broken down by the player and rather than poofing out of thin air when destroyed, realistically fall over as logs that can be moved and even deal some damage. Epic also added a new camping mechanic, which allows the player to use and lay down tents that they can rest in to restore HP or store items. This is a great way to have extra storage in-game, though it costs gold bars to store and take out items from the t<br><br> <br>This season's battle pass is especially huge, with a ton of new skins, gliders, loading screens, and pickaxes being included. Spider-Man is the most prominent character featured in the pass, with the skin having unlockable suits and styles. The skin includes the default red and blue fit for Peter Parker but also includes the white and black Future Foundation suit and the black symbiote suit. Gears of War 's Marcus Fenix and Cait Diaz were both teased in the trailer for Chapter 3's battle pass, so they may be included later on as the season contin<br><br> <br>While Jean Grey fans were no doubt excited by her surprise appearance in Fortnite , Jean is more than just the Dark Phoenix, and Fortnite should acknowledge that by giving Jean her own skin, separate from her Phoenix Force that she has always struggled to control. While it would be fantastic to see a green version of her Phoenix costume as an alternate selectable skin, it would be even cooler to see her take on the mantle of Marvel Girl once again, as she has in the comics. Her green and gold dress or her X-Men Red costume would make for great skins in Fortn<br>
