Fortnite Battle Royale Special Edition Xbox One S bundle release date announced

Published

Microsoft is teaming up with Epic Games to bring a special edition Xbox One S to consumers. The new Xbox One has a unique purple paint-job and comes with exclusive Fortnite cosmetic goodies.

In an effort to sell more Xbox Ones, Microsoft will be releasing a new special edition Fortnite Xbox One S.

Naturally, the hardware of the console is same on the inside, but it does come with some exclusive perks.

The new console will be available for purchase worldwide on June 7th, 2019. The price of the console is $299.99 in the US, according to the official Fortnite Xbox webpage. The console itself is Fortnite purple.

Xbox One S is the less powerful of the two Microsoft console offerings. The other, more advanced, console is the Xbox One X. This means it has a higher likelihood of dropping frames during gameplay and will display Fortnite at a lower resolution.

During sales and promotions, the Xbox One X can be obtained for $399.99, only $100 above this bundle’s price. Just something to think about if you are considering a Xbox purchase.

In addition to the console, the bundle will include 2000 V-Bucks, the Dark Vertex Cosmetic Set, and one month of Xbox Live Gold. This is Xbox equivalent of Playstation Plus.

The Dark Vertex Cosmetic Set includes:

  • The Dark Vertex Outfit – Legendary
  • Epic Glider
  • Rare Pickaxe

The controller included with the purchase also includes the same paintjob as the console.

The Dark Vertex skin is a reskin of the Vertex skin. While the exclusive coloring is still nice, this makes the Dark Vertex more like a Style than a new Skin.

Presumably, the whole set of cosmetics are reskins of the orginal Vertex cosmetics.

We suspect that Microsoft and Epic would get more sales from such collaboration projects if the skins were truly exclusive. These reskins are below the standards of what we would expect from such a bundle.

Fortnite v15.20 update pistols

Epic Games have rolled out Fortnite patch v15.20, with a whole host of changes. While official patch notes are hard to come by these days, we’ve rounded up all of the new content.

The last few weeks in Fortnite have went by without many big tweaks to the gameplay experience, and certainly a lack of new skins and cosmetics compared to times gone by.

However, a whole host of new outfits have been leaked and that’s just the tip of the iceberg for this weekly update. A new Predator crossover has also been uncovered by dataminers, meaning Predator could soon arrive in-game – with a new ship, banner, and spray leaked.

Those are, of course, unconfirmed changes though, so let’s take a look at everything we’re certain of.

Fortnite v15.20 patch notes

Hop Rock Dualies

A new set of dual pistols have arrived in Fortnite, as seen below in a tweet from VastBlast.

New & Unvaulted weapons/items

There’s four new weapons and items coming into the loot pool (well, unvaulted as well) – seen below. This was also confirmed by VastBlast.

  • Legendary Tactical Assault Rifle
  • Rare Tactical Assault Rifle (All Rarities)
  • Lever Action Shotgun
  • Uncommon Snowy Flopper

At first, the leaker thought this Sawed Shotgun was going to be headed solely for Save the World, but it’s since been confirmed to be part of the update.

Pre-edit changes

Some adjustments have been made to the Pre-Edits Option. Now, with ‘Disable Pre-Edits On,’ all player-built structures can’t be edited until they’re placed.

According to the official Fortnite Trello board, here’s all of the bug fixes and changes to be implemented in the latest patch.

  • Sound effect audio delay.
  • Flip Rest Lobby Track inadvertently removed from players’ Lockers.
  • Multipoint Edge Glider deforming midair.

Fortnite predator

Fortnite has been adding a number of hunters since The Mandalorian first landed on the island, and it looks like Predator might be next – if leaks are accurate.

The game has seen some insane crossovers in the last year or two, including those from the DC Comics, Marvel and Star Wars universes.

Well, next on that list might be one of the deadliest extraterrestrial attackers.

On January 13, following the v15.20 update, dataminer Lucas7Yoshi revealed a new ‘Nightmare Ship’ leak for Fortnite.

As you can see, this is the ship of Predator, from the movie series that started in 1987.

Fortnite Predator ship, spray & banner leaked

Not only that, but VastBlast has doubled down on that with a new spray leak, which clearly shows Predator is on the way in some shape or form.

Based on the arrival of Mando in his Star Wars ship, we can likely expect to see Predator join the action soon as a boss on the map – just like other NPCs that have been added during the season.

Once we have more information, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Fortnite v15.20 leaked skins

A number of brand new Fortnite skins and cosmetics have leaked following the v15.20 update in Epic Games’ battle royale title.

The game has undergone some huge changes during the course of Season 5, with The Mandalorian crossover seeing more outfits from the world of Star Wars arrive in the Fortnite Item Shop and Battle Pass rewards.

Now, however, even more are set to be added to the game after the January 13 content refresh.

The weekly update has shaken things up once again, so let’s take a look at all of the exciting skins and cosmetics to have leaked so far.

Fortnite v15.20 leaked skins

Confirmed by leaker Lucas7Yoshi, there’s three skins included in the patch. When they will be released, however, is unconfirmed at the time of writing.

Fortnite v15.20 leaked cosmetics

Aside from those three skins – named Ruby Shadows, Orin, and Tess – a plethora of cosmetics we’ve never seen before have been leaked as well.

Lucas7Yoshi revealed the following graphic just moments after the patch went live…

The dataminer also revealed, as seen in the tweet below, that two other gliders are heading into the game as well.

Two Bundles leaked

Last, but certainly not least, two skin bundles have also been uncovered by the dataminer – seen below.

These will be called the Tess bundle and MACHINIST MINA pack.

So, which skin will you be grabbing from this new set – or even cosmetic? Let us know!

If more are released by other leakers, we’ll be the first to let you know.
