The Godzilla vs Kong Event Teaser and Details
The Godzilla vs Kong event promises to be more than just cool cosmetics. According to popular leakers, both Godzilla and Kong might appear as NPC bosses on the island for players to battle. There are even rumors that defeating these titans could allow players to transform into the monsters themselves.
Leaks are hinting at some pretty exciting abilities for the giant guests too. Word is that Godzilla might come with moves like Beam, Stomp, and Roar, which sounds pretty on-brand for the King of Monsters. As for Kong, there’s talk of a throw banana ability.
Now, we should take all of this with a grain of salt since Epic hasn’t confirmed everything yet. But Fortnite’s official teasers have shown glimpses of the monsters in action. The big bridge at Shining Span? Yeah, it’s got a Godzilla-sized hole in it now. Plus, we’ve already got Godzilla-themed quests live in the game right now, which is a pretty strong hint that something big is coming. While we can’t say for sure what’ll happen, these teasers and in-game additions are pointing toward some potentially awesome kaiju action. We’ll all find out together when the event fully kicks off.
