The dust has settled on a fresh Fortnite season, following this weekend’s explosive live event. After an awkwardly-timed season focused on all-out warfare, the next few months will bring relative calm to Epic’s battle royale island.
Chapter 3 Season 3, subtitled as “Vibin'”, offers a more relaxed aesthetic, with the Island’s survivors celebrating their hard-won victory with a party. Last season’s underground base is now a giant rave cavern, with a rollercoaster you can ride using the game’s returning Baller vehicles (think those spheres from Jurassic World).
A large chunk of the Island has also been transformed into a punk-fantasy jungle, with an enormous bioluminescent tree you can scamper around.
New gameplay elements this season include Reality Seeds you can plant to return to in future matches, and repeatedly harvest for better and better rewards. It’s a nice idea that allows you to pick a favourite landing spot and ensure you have decent loot there when you arrive.
