Fortnite is set to launch Chapter 6 Season 2, dubbed "Lawless Season," on February 21. This season captures a spirit reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto with a new urban location called Crime City, where players will engage in various theft-themed challenges, echoing the essence of crime-filled gameplay.
While Epic Games isn’t collaborating with Rockstar Games directly, this new content is perfectly timed with the anticipation surrounding the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which fans expect to arrive later this year. As both franchises delve into a similar realm of crime-based narratives, the upcoming season will feature heists involving vaults, armored trucks, and even a moving train—all acted out during battle royale matches.
The season trailer showcases a gritty, down-and-dirty vibe, straying from Fortnite’s previous classy heist themes. Instead, it leans towards a more raw aesthetic reminiscent of GTA’s approach to crime. The emphasis this time appears to take a more balanced approach to vehicle use, focusing on classic gameplay elements where players won’t have the option for significant upgrades or mounted weapons on vehicles.
Fortnite fans can look forward to an action-packed season that resonates with the adrenaline of lawlessness and might just give them a taste of the chaos to come in GTA 6. More details about the new season can be found here.
