What to expect from Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1

Chapter 5 Season 1's release will coincide with the conclusion to Chapter 4 Season 5, a season that has been a nostalgic journey through the earlier seasons of the game, on December 2. While the OG season was surely one to remember, Chapter 5 Season 1 seems to be packed to the brim with new content and collaborations for players to explore and experience.

The collaborations for Chapter 5 Season 1 include the long-awaited crossover with the LEGO universe. The collaboration is supposed to be massive, bringing its own game mode and potentially bringing LEGO characters into the game.

Since the LEGO collaboration has been talked about in the community for years, this partnership is sure to be a welcome part of Chapter 5 Season 1.

The collaborations don't end there, as Chapter 5 Season 1 will also include a new Rocket Racing mode, a game mode crafted for Fortnite in collaboration with Rocket League. This collaboration is said to bring Rocket League vehicles into the game for players to use in a dedicated racing environment and specially designed race tracks.

Additionally, according to leaks and hints from Epic Games themselves, these collaborations will also play a role in the Big Bang live event, proving how integral they will be to Chapter 5 Season 1.

Aside from all this, a recently leaked menu screen from Xbox showcased the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass early, giving players a taste of what the upcoming Battle Pass could bring. The two highlights of the leaked Battle Pass are the inclusion of iconic characters like Solid Snake, the skilled spy from the Metal Gear Solid series, and Peter Griffin, the lovable character from Family Guy.

The potential addition of Solid Snake and Peter Griffin, along with the upcoming confirmed collaborations with LEGO and Rocket League, just adds to the anticipation of Chapter 5 Season 1.

As players are gearing up for the spectacle-filled Big Bang live event, it promises to be a seamless transition into Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, on December 2.
