Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2, titled “Lawless Season,” is set to launch this Friday, bringing players an exciting new urban location known as Crime City. This season promises a thrilling experience with players engaging in thefts from vaults, armored vehicles, and trains, evoking the intense heists seen in Grand Theft Auto.
The timing coincides with the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which fans have been eagerly awaiting since the debut of GTA 5 nearly a decade ago. Despite the upcoming release of a new GTA game, Epic Games is taking the lead with the introduction of Lawless Season.
The season trailer showcases a heavy focus on heists, featuring not only traditional vaults but also armored security vans and a train acting as a mobile vault, complete with defense turrets. This sets the stage for a unique mix of classic battle royale gameplay with mission-style objectives commonly found in GTA Online.
The tone of Lawless Season deviates from previous heist themes, embracing a more gritty and raw atmosphere reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto series. Players can expect a blend of irreverence common to both Fortnite and GTA, making for a distinctive gaming experience.
After the mixed reception of last summer’s Wrecked season, it seems that this new installment strikes a balance with a thoughtful approach to vehicle dynamics. While vehicles are still a crucial aspect, there’s a focus on keeping gameplay grounded, without overwhelming enhancements or mounted weapons.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 launches on Friday, February 21, and more details about this exciting new season are available, setting the stage for a memorable gaming experience.
