Fortnite 28.20 update early patch notes for Chapter 5 Season 1

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event

Based on the Fortnite update early patch notes, one of the highlights of this major update (v28.20) will be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event. It was leaked during the first major update (v28.10) and the in-game countdown timer went live a few days ago.

Based on the timer, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event will start on February 9, 2024. There will be Challenges/Quests for players to undertake and complete to earn XP. Reality Augments related to the event could be added to the game, and Mythic from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may be added in as well.

While there is no information about rewards for the time being, Epic Games will not let players walk away empty handed. As such, there might be a few freebies to earn during the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event.

Shredder Outfit/Skin

According to the latest Fortnite update early patch notes, the Shredder Outfit/Skin will be added to the game once Fortnite downtime ends on February 7, 2024. Sadly, for the time being, it's unclear if it will be part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event or available in the Item Shop.

Reality Augments

According to the Fortnite 28.20 update early patch notes, Reality Augments may finally be added to Chapter 5 Season 1. These will not just change gameplay but strategy as well to a large extent. Reality Augments will allow players to think outside the box and approach combat/mobility from new angles (quite literally, in some instances).

Chapter 5 Season 1 unvaulted items - Rift-To-Go, Bush Bomb, and Pizza Party

With Chapter 5 Season 1 entering its end-season phase, a lot of old items/weapons could potentially be unvaulted. This has been a trend that Epic Games tends to follow and can be seen in previous Fortnite update early patch notes as well.

According to Fortnite update early patch notes that are based on leaks, one mobility item could be unvaulted. Based on speculation, it could either be Rift-To-Go or Bush Bombs. Both are usual for making a quick getaway, but the Rift-To-Go is always better in most instances.

Aside from these two, Pizza Party could also be unvaulted. It's a great healing item that can be used by the entire squad. This makes it valuable in all team-related situations in-game. With the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event going live soon, having this item back in the game makes a lot of sense.

LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival

Although Fortnite update 28.20 early patch notes say nothing in particular about upcoming content for the new modes, there will be a few to talk about. The long awaited Ninjago collaboration for LEGO Fortnite could come to pass during this update.

New pre-fabs and/or buildings/structures have also been discovered via a leaked survey. There is talk about DLCs and mod-support as well for LEGO Fortnite. However, Epic Games is yet to reveal things in any official capacity.

There is talk of a Death Race mode being introduced, but based on leaks, it is still in early development. Moving on to the Fortnite Festival, new Tracks/Music can be expected to be added in once the update (v28.20) goes live.
