Welcome to Fortnite's NEW Anime Season! | Transcript:

We just a few days away from the Fortnite Treasure Hunt mini season themed around anime with a brand new island and so many new changes and I'm going to make sure you don't miss out on amazing free rewards and everything new that's about to drop in game. Let's kick it straight off with the battle pass. We already know what it's going to be. As I said, this is an anime themed season with collaborations pulled into it but there's original characters, too. We've got Nico from One Piece. You can see her here in the center just behind Jonesy. She's a historian for the Straw Hat Pirates from One Piece and can sprout duplicate body parts. We also got Portgas, the one wearing the orange hat

in the background and he can turn into and control fire. All of these like crazy abilities from the anime, by the way, will actually be things in game. We'll explain mythics and abilities in a second. We've got the Cuddle Team Leader anime skin, the Charlotte anime skin and Jonesy is iconic. It lets you know you're playing Fortnite and what is Jonesy holding? It's a Sprite. That's right. We were so unsure if Sprites were going to stay in this mini season or not. The great news is they are. We've actually got a look at our first few brand new Sprites that will be in this season. I'll talk about them later in

the video. And let's not overlook that mysterious character in the background. His name is Captain X and he actually shared with us a little cutscene from the giant treasure chest that's currently sat on this island but all of these anime pirates from around the universes are coming to collect from Fortnite to try and get the treasure within. Straight away, there's a free reward you do not want to miss out on here, okay? So, if you're on Fortnite right now, your phone, console, whatever it is, go to the item shop, go to the bottom right, type in code AREA and make sure your V-bucks are topped up now as gifting the battle pass when it drops in November the 1st, Sunday will give you

the Dark Kawaii Team Leader outfit for free. So, just sync it up with your friend where you both gift it to each other and you'll both get the free skin. Now, let's take a deep look at this map cuz it's probably the coolest looking map we've ever had. There's obviously a skull and crossbones with some amazing POIs hidden within here. Some new, but also some returning. Firstly, it's believed that the battle bus could be turned into a One Piece flying pirate ship. You actually take an early look at it here. That is going to be the coolest way ever to arrive on the island. Let's start off with Arlong Park. This is

where Luffy actually defeats the Arlong Pirate Crew, so taking straight out of the anime. Windmill Village is Luffy's home where he ate his devil fruit. The devil fruit like gives you loads of abilities. Like I said, I'll talk about that in a second cuz they are items in game. And Lougetown also features one of the restaurants straight out of the One Piece anime. This map looks so pretty and I think the anime style is going to work so well for it. But this season is all about factions and factions of teams trying to get the treasure loot from this island. Another one of those factions is ASAP Rocky. I know, a little bit random, but he is anime-ified. He's come with a redesign of Midas's yacht

and it looks incredible. No doubt he's going to be a boss here. And I always just love ships within Fortnite. He's not the only rapper arriving on the island. There's also Lil Uzi's stronghold. His very own pirate base which looks very similar to Anvil Square from chapter 4. There's Rubber Resort which looks amazing. With Miku's and Tito's pirate base which looks a little bit like Cluster Coasts from chapter 7. Then the actual chest itself is on the island with a little X. X marks the spot, right? And we believe that this all ties back into the storyline with the final piece of the zero point being hidden inside that chest. That's why we really need to get it ourselves. Within the trailers that have been released,

you can also see the turtle returning from the chapter 6 island. So as you can see, there's a lot of old and new places coming together here. The pictures and the screenshots we've seen so far look amazing. I am so excited to jump in and try and get my first Victory Royale. But we need to be aware big gameplay changes and new weaponry that will completely change the way we play. Before I talk about them, when the season launches, I'll be gifting you guys the battle pass. As long as you've gone to the shop, clicked in the bottom right, and entered code Ali-A, and click that subscribe button. I'll give you a second. YouTube have just changed it where if you click subscribe, it actually animates. So, give it a go if

you haven't pressed it. And come November the 1st, this Sunday, I'll be gifting loads of battle passes out. First of all, every week in this mini season will see a big themed update. Remember it's only a month long, so that's four updates. Starting with ASAP Rocky in game, and then the Straw Hat Pirates, Lil Uzi Vert, Miko and Tito, and then a mysterious captain towards the end of the season will arrive. So, potentially a brand new big anime collaboration to look forward to. But, let's talk a little bit more about Sprites. Yes, they are returning and they will be available in this mini season. You will not have long to collect them. We've already seen a few

of them. One of them is a treasure chest Sprite. You can actually see Jonesy holding it in that key art. Looks amazing. And people have spotted extraction points on the island as well. So, the mechanics will stay the same. There's also a Miko and Tito Sprite, and then an ASAP Rocky Sprite has been spotted also in the trailer. You can see them all on with their bandannas next to ASAP Rocky. And thankfully, they designs look way better than all of the gaming sort of like pixel blocky designs we got at the beginning of this season. Just a fair warning, as I've already said, there is a high chance Sprites may not come back for chapter eight. As Sprites could be something that they

only keep within chapter seven. We'll have to wait and see on that one. Talking of chests, there are brand new chests. They're a pirate chest, as you'd expect. They'll be spotted around the island. These will either fully replace all of the chests that we're used to seeing or be special chests with special loot. I'm very excited to open them up. We'll have less players on the island, 80 rather than 100. Again, a little bit like the Simpson seasons we saw last year. The actual weaponry and abilities we'll be using are so cool. So, let's jump straight into some of the weapons you can see in the trailers. We've got the Bundle Buster Assault Rifle. These were actually taken straight out of Save

the World and have been in Fortnite Save the World for so many years now. It's a rapid-firing assault rifle that actually uses light ammo within Save the World. Super fast firing, but a little bit less damage. Dragoon Shotgun. This is also from Save the World. A one-shot shotgun with a big area of damage. I'm hoping this is good. Basically going to be the pump for the season. ASAP Rocky's been seen with his own shock rocket launcher with an awesome camo design as well. It could be his very own mythic. We're going to talk a little bit more about bosses and their potential mythic weapons because there's so many factions

on the island, there's going to be special loot to go after represented by each of these factions that are fighting for the treasure chest. Zoro's three-sword mythic, confirmed mythic, based on Zoro's three-sword fighting style. He holds three katanas in his mouth and this is an actual weapon we'll be able to use. And then Luffy's gum-gum fruit mythic. This is Luffy's devil fruit which is based on the gum-gum pistol ability with long, fast, stretched-out punches cuz his body's all stretchy. We actually saw this attack within the trailer, looks amazing and can also slingshot himself forwards as well. So, movement and attacks. And the Ace flame-flame fruit mythic which can transform the player into fire. I told

you a lot of these characters' One Piece abilities will be carried over into the game. It just sounds crazy. Usopp mythic which is based on the slingshot from the One Piece anime with a quick-fire attack and that you can charge for an explosive attack. Slingshots are just fun. They had one last year for Bart Simpson, his own slingshot and it was just really fun to use. Let's dive back a little bit more into the bosses before we talk more about all the skins and collaborations that will be dropping and when they'll be dropping. The captains of the crew most likely be the bosses. So, these are the people that are rep- resenting their crews with their own flags that we've seen within the teaser so far. We've got

ASAP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Tito Ameku, and then Luffy himself with, as I said, that mysterious captain that's coming on November the 21st towards the end of the season who's probably going to shake up the island quite a lot. Expect to find these bosses at their POIs. ASAP Rocky at his boat, Lil Uzi at his own stronghold, but a little bit like how it was in Chapter 2 Remix where each week the bosses arrived on the island with their own abilities. They may not all be on the island straight away on November the 1st when the season drops, but I want to get all the bosses and all their mythics. All corner challenge video anyone? Make sure you subscribe to see that. Now, let's talk skins. What's

going to be available and when is it going to be available? When can we get hold of Luffy? Well, Luffy, Nami, and Usopp will all be available on November the 5th. That is a little sad because probably some of the most iconic skins will actually not be available in the battle pass, but in the item shop. But, we've seen that trend happen a lot like this season. The key art showed all of those gaming characters, and we just got Sonic. The rest then came to the item shop. Whereas, I feel like the battle pass has got a nice mixture of original and One Piece anime style skins this time. We often get tournaments for these skins as well. So, there's a chance that we'll get a tournament where you can

actually play, and if you want to be a top players within that tournament on the new island, maybe you'll have to get the Luffy, Nami, and Usopp bundle for free early. If you're a bit of a sweat, get ready for that one. ASAP Rocky also coming on November the 5th. You can take a look at his entire cosmetic loadout here. We've got a helicopter glider, which can also be found as a helicopter actually on his ship. He's got like Mecha hands, nice sneakers, a completely blinged out like llama diamond belt in that style of his skin. Two very different looking skin styles as well. Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper will also be available in a bundle coming November the 7th. They're all additional members

to the Straw Hat Pirates, the One Piece characters coming to the game. Lil Uzi Vert, we've got a look at him already. You can see here, he looks really cool. Has he got a golden hand? Is that like Midas inspired? He'll be coming on November the 12th. The Buggy bundle will be coming on November the 13th. He was actually the first main villain within One Piece. And then, Kawsan Tito and Captain Hatsune Miku bundle will be coming on November the 14th, which is technically Miku's fourth Fortnite skin. It must sell so well for Epic to do that. And they look incredible as anime pirate skins. I'm not even going to lie.

But, there are also original skins coming as well. We've already seen Hope, who's now got anime cat ears in an anime style super long hair. Oscar, a boss from chapter 5, is also an original tiger anime skin. I can't believe I'm saying these words. And it'll be so much to discover when we actually jump in and play. Like if you take a close look at the trailer, it looks like there's going to be so many secrets hidden in the map. They've even confirmed that the G Wagon's coming as an actual car, and you can get it completely gold. I feel like with how similar the 4x4's already looking in Fortnite, they should just give us this one for free. But this

entire season will be building up to a big live event on December the 5th, which will transition us from the end of chapter 7 to the beginning of chapter 8 and a whole new world of Fortnite. It's going to be crazy. But don't forget, pull up your phone right now, get on Fortnite mobile, enter code AliA in the item shop, and make sure you're gifting the battle pass with a friend that gives it back to you to get that free skin. And I'll let you know if any tournaments go live during this mini season that allows you to get any of these skins early. If you're a little bit of a sweat, and you've only got a few days left to enter all the admin codes in Fortnite. I put all 52 codes into a single video, so go over there, triple

check you've entered all of them before they're gone forever, and I'll see you on another
