A major Fortnite update is set to drop on March 25, bringing exciting new content, including a Clix Skin collaboration. This update will introduce six new Mythic weapons, the return of the crossbow, and various cosmetic releases. Here’s a full breakdown of what to expect.
March 25 Update: New Weapons
According to HYPEX, the upcoming Fortnite update will feature six new weapons, each with unique abilities:
- Rift Launcher
- Explosive Mammoth
- Slap Chug Jug
- Accelerant Twister AR
- Slap Shotgun
- Final Mark Sniper Rifle
Each of these weapons is expected to bring fresh gameplay mechanics, making battles more dynamic. The new exotics are generating a lot of hype, and players are eager to test them out.
The Return of the Crossbow and OG Season 3 Map Update
The crossbow is making a comeback in Fortnite OG mode, though it hasn’t stirred much excitement. What has captured more attention is the re-release of Chapter 1, Season 3 of Fortnite OG. Despite Epic Games not promoting this much, the update will bring back an older map with minimal changes.
OG Season 3 currently averages 30,000 to 50,000 players daily, ranking as the fifth most played mode in Fortnite. However, with limited updates aside from cosmetics, many players aren’t as excited about its return.
Clix Skin and Collaboration Bundle
The Clix bundle has been officially revealed. While some players believe it was showcased too early, Clix himself revealed the entire bundle during a stream. Additionally, Fortnite released a blog post detailing the collaboration, and the full bundle is visible in the Compete tab.
Despite Clix keeping the final emote under wraps, the rest of the bundle is already known. Many are wondering why Typical Gamer hasn’t received an Icon Series skin, despite his long-standing presence in the Fortnite community. Clix receiving his Icon skin before TG has certainly raised some eyebrows.
Upcoming Collaborations and Leaks
Several notable collaborations are coming soon:
- Katy Perry Bundle – Includes the “Roar” Jam track and emote.
- Paramore Tracks – “Ain’t It Fun” and “Still Into You” are joining the Jam tracks lineup.
- Pokémon in Fortnite? – A leak suggests Pokémon may enter Fortnite by 2026 due to LEGO and Pokémon’s partnership. Since Fortnite already features LEGO mode, this crossover isn’t too far-fetched.
- Ninja Turtles Party Wagon – Expected to arrive in Rocket League sometime in April.
- 1967 Shelby GT500 – Set to launch at the end of the season.
- Dodge Ram 1500 TRX – Likely coming in the next update, possibly on Tuesday.
- Solo Leveling Collaboration – Another crossover hinted at for future updates.
New Competitive Features in Fortnite
In addition to these updates, Fortnite is introducing new competitive elements that could change the game’s esports scene. With the growing popularity of ranked modes and major collaborations, Epic Games continues to refine the competitive scene. This could bring more opportunities for professional players and casual competitors alike.
With all these additions, the upcoming Fortnite update is packed with new content. From Mythic weapons to the new Clix Skin bundle, players have a lot to look forward to. The return of OG Season 3 may not be as thrilling as expected, but collaborations like Pokémon, Solo Leveling, and car partnerships are keeping the game fresh.
