Fortnite has already pitted players against a host of giant opponents, and now the iconic Godzilla is set to unleash his fury across the Island later this week. Epic Games' wildly successful multiplayer online battle royale has become a hub for exciting crossovers, allowing fans to unlock unique Fortnite character skins inspired by beloved characters like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wonder Woman, and even the popular Vocaloid Hatsune Miku.
Fortnite is bringing the legendary Japanese cinematic monster, Godzilla, into its ever-expanding universe as part of Chapter 6 Season 1. A playable skin based on Godzilla's supercharged Evolved appearance from last year's "Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire" will be available starting January 17. The King of the Monsters' arrival in Fortnite has already sparked lively discussions about potential future Godzilla skin designs and humorous remarks about how Fortnite is becoming the video game equivalent of the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.
As any Godzilla enthusiast knows, it's only a matter of time before the colossal reptile decides to abandon any pretense of cooperation and embark on another destructive rampage. Fortnite players will witness this chaos firsthand later this week. According to Dexerto, Fortnite's Version 33.20 update for Chapter 6 Season 1 is set to launch on January 14. While no official start time has been announced, Epic Games typically initiates server downtime at 4 AM PT, 7 AM ET, and 12 PM GMT to prepare for updates.
Fortnite Version 33.20 Launch Date

The update will prominently feature Monsterverse content, with a trailer showcasing a colossal Godzilla wreaking havoc on the Fortnite Island. A fleeting glimpse of a King Kong decal on a passing vehicle hints that he may join Godzilla as an NPC boss in Chapter 6 Season 1.
Fortnite has endured numerous cataclysms from the likes of Galactus, Doctor Doom, and The Nothing over the years, and now players must brace themselves for yet another upheaval, this time courtesy of Godzilla. Once the dust settles, fans might look forward to seeing more TMNT characters and the much-anticipated Fortnite crossover with Devil May Cry in the coming year.
