A new season of Fortnite<\/em> is upon us, and this one is a little… strange. Developer Epic Games is rolling out Chapter 3: Season 2<\/a> of the long-running battle royale, and it\u2019s called Resistance; a story trailer (embedded above) features a number of opposing forces duking it out on the Fortnite<\/em> island, along with a certain sorcerer from the Marvel universe.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the season\u2019s official announcement, Epic said that it would donate two weeks of its Fortnite<\/em> proceeds to support Ukraine-related humanitarian efforts<\/a>. This will last from March 20th through April 3rd.<\/p>\n

The season makes a few big changes to the game. The most extreme is that, at least right now, building has been \u201cwiped out,\u201d removing one of the most distinct aspects of Fortnite<\/em> play. To balance this out, players now have an additional shield \u2014 called an \u201covershield\u201d \u2014 for defense. Other changes include a combination of faster sprinting and climbing that makes for parkour-like movement, the addition of blimps to explore and tanks to drive, as well as a handful of new guns. And if players donate enough gold over the course of the season, they will unlock a drivable version of the iconic battle bus, which now looks like something out of Mad Max<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In addition to the changes to the game and island, the new season\u2019s battle pass<\/a> also adds a handful of unlockable characters for those who purchase it. The most notable is Doctor Strange \u2014 who will be returning to theaters in May<\/a> \u2014 and he\u2019s joined by new faces with names like The Imagined and The Origin. For those who follow Fortnite<\/em>\u2019s ever-expanding lore<\/a>, this season seems like it will be full of important details.<\/p>\n

Season 2 follows an eventful start to the game\u2019s latest chapter, which kicked off last December<\/a>. The previous season introduced destructive weather, faster movement, and giant monsters<\/a>, along with collaborations with everyone from Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak<\/a> to Naomi Osaka<\/a>. There was even a virtual art gallery for players to explore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
