Summary
FortniteandPirates of the Caribbeanare coming together for an epic crossover event, bringing known characters from the franchise to the game, as well as pirate-themed locations. While mostFortniteupdates tend to come out on Tuesday, update v30.20 released on a Saturday, June 22, only nine days after the first update of Chapter 5 Season 3. The patch was released much sooner than expected, as Epic Games employees went on break soon after. The team will be absent for nearly a month, which is why this was an update filled with content to ensure that fans would have plenty with which to keep themselves busy.
A few hours after the update went live, gamers got to watch the first Metallica showcase, a Creative Island with an interactive musical experience. Not long after, Fortnite Reload, a game mode featuring a modified version of the OG island andFortniteChapter 1 weapons, went live. Fans got to complete Fortnite Reload Quests and unlock awesome summer-themed rewards.
Among all of these impressive additions, the Cursed Sails event pass became available in the Item Shop for a short period of time after the patch was released. However, this was an unfortunate error that spoiled thePirates of the CaribbeanxFortnitecrossover eventannouncement for those who chose to stay away from leaks. Nevertheless, dataminers have been working hard, trying to dig into the game files to find out more about the upcoming collab. It didn’t take long for leakers to uncover unreleasedPirates of the Caribbeanlandmarks coming toFortnite.
