Fortnite: Chapter 3 officially revealed with new island, Spider-Man, and plenty more changes

There were three. After a dramatic live event on Saturday, the game is moving on to Chapter 3, which introduces some big changes to the game.

The most dramatic change in the first season of the new chapter is the shift to a fresh, snow-covered island, one that features weather conditions, along with new locations like Sanctuary. Those who pick up the new battle pass will be able to get their hands on characters like Spider-Man and The Foundation, voiced by The Rock. The full run-down of the battle pass can be found here.

The trailer for the sequel to Into the Spider-Verse dropped on Saturday, and it was a busy weekend for spider-news.

The core game will be changed quite a bit. Chapter 3 has two new mechanics that could make the experience even faster and more vertical for high-level players. There is an option to earn battle pass in player-made experiences for those who spend time in the game's creative mode.

There are some persistent elements in the game. Here is how the studio explains it.

The new chapter brings camps, where players and their squad can heal and store items from match to match. There are new weapons and items to help win a victory and earn the ultimate prestige, the Victory Crown. Keep winning.

Many of these details were leaked out earlier on Saturday before the live event that saw the previous island flip over. The game has been down since then, as players stare at their characters adrift in the ocean. You can watch the entire event in the video below, or check out our full recap right here.

Following a black hole event, the second chapter of the game led to an all-new island. It spanned eight seasons and included everything from an alien invasion to a superhero takeover.

The update for Chapter 3 isn't live just yet, and it's not clear when players will be able to jump in.
