Epic Games has announced the update that will be implemented in Fortnite Battle Royale starting Season 5. The game will feature a steerable vehicle that can accommodate four players. In addition, the storm in the game will move.

Epic Games details the changes in the patch notes for v5.0, which is Season 5 of the online shooter. For example, the island on which the popular Battle Royale mode of the game takes place has been significantly modified. Three new zones have been added to the map: a stretch of desert, an area dubbed Paradise Palms, and Lazy Links: a golf course. The new parts replace existing areas. For example, Paradise Palms replaces Moisty Mire and Lazy Links replaces Anarchy Acres. Smaller points of interests have also been added, says Epic.

In the form of the All Terrain Kart, abbreviated to ATK, the game will also be the first truly steerable vehicle that can carry passengers. A total of four players fit in the cart. The cart can also drift in the bends and if the rear players simultaneously hang from the vehicle when the cart makes a jump, the vehicle will rise a lot higher. Finally, a jump pad has been incorporated into the roof of the cart.

The gameplay will probably be most affected by the changes to the storm that is raging across the island. Towards the end of the match, in phases 7, 8 and 9 of the storm, the eye of the storm will move slightly. Until now, the circle that keeps players safe from the storm is shrinking to a fixed point, but that point will move in random direction starting Season 5. Furthermore, just before the introduction of patch v5.0, blue portals appeared in various places on the island. Its function is not yet revealed in the patch notes. Epic does let go of the fact that the portals will give you a ‘wild ride’.

With the new Switch version, after patch v5.0, it is possible to control the game by tilting the console. In addition, the game is expanded with the necessary new, cosmetic items.
