The 'memiest' part of the new Season is absolutely a new playable character named Meowscles - a chimera cat that's equal parts cute and menacing, with big round eyes and a warming smile above the shoulders, boasting giant muscles and a six-pack. It makes me wonder if color schemes will be used to this magnitude moving forward to put an extra stamp on the uniqueness of future seasons and updates. Unlike previous updates, gold is a prevalent theme. One particular item that will be of interest to players is the umbrella that is only unlocked with a Victory Royale: primarily gold with black trim.

Gold is definitely the theme of the season, which was evident in the preview tweets from the official Fortnite account leading up to the launch of Season 2. C2S2 might not capture mainstream attention like the black hole event did, but as far as changing course and making this a pleasant experience for fans, this is a win. This update is story rich, and you definitely feel it when playing the game. With this new season, Epic Games continues its strong track record of keeping Fortnite fresh and interesting to its core audience while piquing the interest of lapsed fans to come back and give the game a try again. Epic Games noted that 'limited time operations' and 'spy games' are coming this season, which will likely add some twists and turns to the story. Speaking of battle, purchasing the battle pass unlocks an updated hideout themed battle pass menu, with a bunch of challenges and tasks, that dive deeper into the lore of the season. You get to pick a side and join the battle. The world is split up into two factions, called 'Ghost' and 'Shadow,' that are at war with each other. It's a spy theme, 'Top Secret,' complete with new characters, modes and weapons. So far, it looks to have been worth the wait.

It's fitting in a way, since Chapter 2, Season 1 was the longest season in Fortnite's history and for a while fans were left wondering when the next update would come. Spies, secret agents and all things mystery is the theme. If you're into espionage (and Deadpool), the newest Fortnite season is for you.Įpic Games launched its much anticipated Chapter 2, Season 2 update early Thursday morning.
