More than one game
Chapter 5 began with a new island and weapon mods, letting you add scopes and grips to guns. More importantly, three new games arrived inside Fortnite at the same time: LEGO Fortnite, a survival-crafting game; Rocket Racing; and Fortnite Festival, a music game. Your Battle Pass progress came from all of them.
Gods and the wasteland
Season 2, Myths and Mortals, brought Greek gods and Mount Olympus. Season 3, Wrecked, was a wasteland season with armoured cars and nitro. In June 2024 Epic launched Reload, a faster mode on a smaller map where you respawn while a teammate is alive.
Doom and the Remix
Season 4, Absolute Doom, was a Marvel villain season. Then, in November 2024, Chapter 2 Remix brought back the Chapter 2 island for a month with a music theme, ending on 30 November with a finale concert. In August 2024 Fortnite also returned to iPhone in the European Union, four years after it was removed from the App Store.
Why it matters
Chapter 5 is when Fortnite stopped being one game. Today you can open Fortnite and play a battle royale, build a LEGO village, race or play guitar, and it all counts towards the same pass.
