Fortnite has just launched its much-anticipated Chapter 6, Season 1. The season is live now after the huge Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD season finale concert. The concert drew over 14 million players, the most ever for any concert event.

Here are the skins available in the new battle pass:
Our Chapter 6 Season 1 blog incorrectly stated that Ledge Jump, Roll Landing, Wall Kick, and Wall Scramble movement would be coming to Fortnite OG. These movement features are not in OG and we've updated the blog to reflect this. pic.twitter.com/yVpzt5veti

Nyanja (Page 1) is a ninja cat in a hoodie that also has a “black cat” ninja style as well. The mining tool claws are pretty neat. Jade (Page 3) leans more toward the samurai side with her armor plating paired with a letterman jacket and a plaid skirt.
Her alternate skin does have a cool helmet, though. Kendo (Page 5) is a motorcycle samurai that looks cool with a really sick alternate skin on page 6. This is possibly my favorite design of the pass.
Japanese-inspired skins in new battle pass
Shadow Blade Hope (Page 7) has a full-on ninja look with an option for a cat-ear hood. Her alternate skins feature a full cat mask and some unique colors.
Daigo (Page 9) has a spooky look with a mask on both outfits. He is a bit plain but unsettling all the same. In a surprising Big Hero 6 crossover, Hero Baymax (Page 11) is available, complete with a samurai version on Page 12.
The Night Rose (Page 13) is undeniably cool and scary, which explains why she’s the last skin to unlock. Her alternate skin transforms her into a version with blue skin and white hair, both of which look awesome. Yes, your bonus skin this time is a smaller version of Godzilla, which will be hilarious to use with weapons.
Fortnite truly makes dreams come true. Overall, it’s another impressive season launch, with a creative array of characters to unlock and enjoy. Whether or not the battle pass is worth buying will depend on your personal preference for these unique, Japanese-inspired designs.
Happy gaming!
