Editor’s Note: Spoiler alert for Chapter Seven of Fortnite.
Fortnite is a game developed by Epic Games where players have to battle opponents until only one remains. The game has four passes, the Battle Pass, music pass, OG pass, and Lego pass, which allow players to level up for rewards like outfits, backbling, loading screens, and more.
On Nov. 29, 2025, Fortnite held a live event called “Zero Hour”, where every collaboration from Chapter 6 and before, such as “K-pop Demon Hunters” and “The Simpsons”, with the help of Jonesy and Hope, came together to fight the Dark Presence, an evil entity that tried to take over Chapter 6’s island. The Dark Presence was soon defeated and the collaborators went back to their realities, while players were sent to Chapter 7’s island.
Chapter 7’s Pacific Break story is themed after the United States’ West Coast where Jonesy, the main character of Fortnite in cinematics, and his pals have awoken from the aforementioned “Zero Hour” event. They look out the window to see a Dark Voyager spacecraft hovering over the island, without the audience knowing what it is.
This chapter has been a big change from the previous one. I joined Chapter 6 Season 2, when Star Wars was in the game. I have improved on winning newer battles since Chapter 6 season 3 because I had gotten used to the Chapter 6 map.
When I attended the event “Zero Hour” from my Nintendo Switch, I loved the event because it was exciting and fun. When I logged in to Chapter 7 the next day after the event, I got a free skin named “Yuki” from the series “Kill Bill”. I had never gotten a free skin before in my months of playing the game; I had only received free loading scenes and back blings.
After watching several trailers, people discovered that the Battle Bus that had carried people to the island was destroyed by the Dark Voyager spacecraft. The Bus’s pieces were scattered around the map and players had to surf to the island, but thankfully it was rebuilt and now is up and running again.
Fortnite updated a feature where if players get shot down to zero heath, they will be able to ragdoll down a cliff and get into a car, but can’t drive it. Thankfully, developers added the ability to drive Reboot Vans, so players can drive around with their healing teammate.
Streamers were invited to the in-game premiere of “The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge”, a movie set in the game, which is still playable today, but Fortnite accidentally forgot to keep the movie family-friendly, so there were swears in the premiere.
CourageJD, a streamer and Youtuber, finally got his own icon skin, and so did his dog. He had been mad at Epic Games after they announced his dog was getting added to Fortnite before him, but now he is happy to have his very own Fortnite icon skin.
It was announced that South Park and Harry Potter will be coming to Fortnite for the holidays. This collaboration will see the South Park characters in mech suits since they are very short, and the Harry Potter collaboration will include characters, back blings, loading screens, including the wands as pickaxes.
This chapter has been great so far, and I hope players join the game soon because this season won’t last long. The Battle Pass changes in March 2026, so get the Battle Pass and level it up to level 100 before then.
