Godzilla Roars into Fortnite: Players Can Transform into the Kaiju

CARY, N.C. — Epic Games is set to unleash Godzilla in Fortnite on Jan. 17, 2025, in a collaboration that will allow players to transform into the iconic Kaiju. Leaked details suggest the update will introduce a Godzilla-themed Mythic item, enabling players to stomp, roar, and unleash devastating beam attacks.

The Godzilla collaboration, part of the Titan Takedown event, will bring the colossal creature to Fortnite’s battle royale map. Players who equip the Mythic item will gain the ability to take on Godzilla’s form, using its massive size and destructive powers to dominate the battlefield. According to leaks, the transformation will allow players to stomp on points of interest (POIs), enemies, and other obstacles, while also unleashing a fiery beam attack capable of obliterating anything in its path.

“The Mythic-wielder will then gain the ability to stomp, roar, and beam,” one leaker revealed. The transformation is expected to be a game-changer, offering both visual flair and tactical advantages. However, obtaining the Mythic item is rumored to be a challenging task, potentially requiring players to navigate a portal or complete specific in-game objectives.

Epic Games has yet to confirm the exact mechanics for unlocking Godzilla’s abilities, but the leaks have already sparked excitement among the Fortnite community. The collaboration follows the release of the Godzilla x Kong Titan Takedown trailer, which showcased the Kaiju’s arrival on the Fortnite map. The trailer highlighted the massive scale of the creatures, with Godzilla and Kong appearing as towering threats that players must confront or control.

This isn’t the first time Fortnite has introduced larger-than-life characters, but the ability to transform into Godzilla marks a new level of immersion. Players will need to strategize carefully to harness the Kaiju’s power, as the Mythic item is expected to be rare and difficult to obtain. The update, version 33.20, will also include other Godzilla-themed content, though details remain scarce.

As the Jan. 17 launch date approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to wreak havoc as Godzilla or face off against the Kaiju in epic battles. Whether players choose to slay the titan or become one, the Titan Takedown event promises to shake up Fortnite’s gameplay in a big way.
