As usual, matchmaking will go offline just before the maintenance period begins. But don’t worry—you can still download the update while waiting for the servers to come back online. Expect downtime to last a few hours, though we know it’s worth the wait.

Godzilla vs. Kong: The Monsterverse Invades Fortnite

The Godzilla vs. Kong crossover is taking Fortnite to monstrous new heights. First teased in the Hunters Season trailer, we’re finally seeing these two titans duke it out on the Chapter 6 Season 1 map.

Epic Showdowns

The update is rumored to include an in-game live event where Godzilla and Kong go head-to-head. Afterward, these massive icons will roam the map as NPC bosses, waiting for brave players to take them down and score exclusive loot.

What We’ve Seen So Far

A recent cinematic trailer shared on Fortnite’s socials shows Godzilla stomping around Seaport City, while Kong makes a subtle cameo as a car decal on a flashy orange skin. Trust us—it’s as chaotic and thrilling as it sounds.

Leaked Details

Thanks to Fortnite leaker Loolo_WRLD, we know Kong’s moves will include “Growl,” “Roar,” “Step,” and “Thump.” Sounds like he’s bringing some serious heat to his boss battles!

New Skins: Godzilla Evolved, Mecha Godzilla, and Hatsune Miku

Battle Pass Skins

Battle Pass owners, get ready! Starting January 17, two epic Godzilla skins will unlock:

• Godzilla Evolved
• Mecha Godzilla (complete with an ultra-cool Back Bling)

Hatsune Miku Joins the Party

That’s not all—virtual pop sensation Hatsune Miku is making her Fortnite debut! Starting January 14, players can snag her skin via the Premium Music Pass or buy it from the Item Shop using V-Bucks. If you’ve spotted inflatable shark dogs or hidden leeks at Seaport City, those were Easter eggs hinting at her arrival.

Map Changes: Where Monsters Roam

When Godzilla and Kong step onto the Battle Royale island, expect major map changes. Seaport City is likely to bear the brunt of their stomping, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see new destructible areas pop up.

Also, the snow that started melting last week (as of January 7) should be completely gone, ushering in a fresh look for the island.

Story Quests: Splinters of Possibility

Part 3 of this season’s Story Quests goes live on January 14 at 9 AM ET / 6 AM PT / 2 PM GMT. Dubbed Splinters of Possibility, the quests will have players forging a blade and helping Night Rose complete an important mission.

Final Thoughts: A Monster-Sized Update

Whether you’re here for the Godzilla-Kong mayhem, Hatsune Miku’s music-inspired vibes, or the evolving story quests, update 33.20 promises something for everyone. So gear up, squad up, and get ready to dive into Fortnite’s wildest season yet!
