Epic Games has officially launched the new chapter of Fortnite. The company shared the first trailer for the game's Chapter 3 and its first season, "Flipped." The focus is on the new island with a complete landscape overhaul—including chaotic, unpredictable weather—and new gameplay mechanics. There are new sliding and swinging mechanics to help you move and dodge faster. You can set up camps to help your squad heal and store items that persist between matches. It's now possible to earn XP beyond battle royale. And you can hold on to a Victory Crown if you keep winning.

The new season also brings in new characters. Unsurprisingly, there's Spider-Man, who works the best with the new swinging mechanic. But there's also Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Fortnite character The Foundation, and Gears of War's Marcus and Kait. If you were anticipating fresh content for Fortnite, then you finally have it.
