PlayStation Sweden has leaked the trailer for Chapter 5 ofFortnitejust hours before it was meant to be showcased, revealing that it’ll add trains, grapple hook combat, improved platforming, and weapon mods.
We’re just hours away from what is shaping up to be the biggest event that Fortnite has ever had,fittingly titled the Big Bang. As exciting as the event itself is, it’s what comes next that’s really exciting - Chapter 5.We’ve heard rumblings about how many new things are going to be coming to Fortnite in the latest Chapterand, while we were going to find out what they all were in just a few hours,PlayStation Sweden has decided to jump the gun and share the trailer, which reveals all that the Chapter is going to bring.
The trailer starts off by giving us a glimpse at the new map for Chapter 5, Season 1, which is adding a train to The Island that can apparently be taken over by players. We also see a bit of the story elements, as Jonesy has made a comeback with a much more grizzled look than before. Looks like all that time in The Loop has got to him a little.
The trailer then reveals that the theme for this season of Fortnite is “Underground”, which makes sense with the addition of trains. We then get to see all of the new gameplay elements that are being added to the game, including the aforementioned ability to “capture the train”, some new weapons like a riot shield that can be used to charge forward, and weapon mods that seemingly let players customise their weapons with sights and a variety of other options.
It also seems like Chapter 5 could be adding thelong-awaited first-person viewpoint to Fortnite, as during the section that showcases weapon mods, we see several guns being used with a first-person view that looks different than the one used for aiming down the sights. Epic hasn’t confirmed that’s the case, but it certainly looks similar.
If itisn’ta first-person mode, then one has to wonder - where the heck is it?!
Some of the other features shown in the trailer include a revamped movement system that seems to reintroduce vaulting and add wall-running, grapple blade combat with a new item, and the confirmation that bothSolid Snake and Peter Griffin are indeed coming to Fortnite after having been leaked just yesterday.
