Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3: The Launch of Runners and New Features

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3: Runners

Epic Games, headquartered in the United States and led by CEO Tim Sweeney, has announced the launch of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3: Runners, starting from June 6, Japan time. This new season follows the thrilling season-end event called "Shattered."

New Map: Shattered Coast

Fans of Fortnite will find familiar locations transformed through the reconfiguration of the island, introducing a completely new map known as Shattered Coast. This new environment promises to deliver fresh experiences for players eager to explore the changes and secrets hidden within.

New Gameplay Feature: Spirit Extraction and Collection

A captivating addition this season is the appearance of "Spirits" with newfound powers scattered throughout the island. Players can hunt down these spirits during battles, extract them, and add them to their collection. By bringing these spirits into subsequent matches, players can gain pre-fight abilities. Each spirit offers unique capabilities—ranging from generating shields to becoming temporarily invisible or providing burst damage bonuses—enhancing tactical options for players.

New Battle Pass and Launch Week Bonus

The latest battle pass is available for purchase at 800 V-Bucks or through the Fortnite Crew subscription. Upon acquiring the battle pass, players will instantly unlock a customizable mech called "Guardian" driven by the spirits. As players collect more spirits, the level of customization increases, allowing for a personalized gaming experience.

Additionally, players who obtain the new battle pass by June 14 at 12:59 PM JST will receive exclusive launch week bonuses, including the costume "Gold Huntress Dylan" and special accessories.

Progressing through levels will unlock premium rewards such as John Wick's dog buddy, the "Dark Cubic Sneakers," and various exciting costumes including "Wolf," "Cluster," "Heatwave PJ," and "John Wick (Pen & Ink)."

Epic Rewards

Players purchasing V-Bucks for the battle pass via Epic's payment system, or subscribing to the Fortnite Crew, will benefit from Epic Rewards, receiving 20% cash back. This incentive is valid for purchases made on iOS, web, PC, as well as in the Epic Games Store and Google Play in the U.S.

New Weapons and Actions

This season introduces new armaments, including John Wick's favorite pistol and the Heavy Assault Rifle from Dark Voyager. With the ability to perform sliding actions faster than running using the Seventh Rider and executing triple jumps from Shock-Lock, players can engage in combat with dynamic strategies.
