Fortnite Season 9 released with new locations

Epic has released Fortnite Season 9 and detailed its skins, locations and new features.

As always Season 9 adds a plethora of new character skins, this time with a futuristic theme.

New locations have also been added to the game, such as Neo Tilted and Mega Mall, following an eruption of a volcano in the game. Epic has added the new Slipstream wind transportation system too.

Players who purchase a Battle Pass will unlock the Sentinel Outfit and Rox progressive Outfit instantly. As players level up their Battle Pass, they’ll unlock new rewards like dual pickaxes, a robo kitty and flying disc toys.

While players can unlock a select number of rewards for free, only those who purchase a Battle Pass will unlock the second tier of rewards.

Epic said: “The volcano has erupted and forever changed some long lasting locations – from the ashes, Neo Tilted rises.

“Grab the squad to explore the bright lights of new attractions like Peely’s Banana Stand and Nugget Hut. Catch a ride and quickly traverse areas by flying in and out of the new Slipstream wind transportation system.

“Use the new Air Vents to quickly navigate from building to building. Take a glide over to the new Mega Mall to do some shopping before the storm hits. The future is yours in Season 9!”
