The release of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 is highly anticipated by players. Speculation about what Epic Games has in store for the new season is rampant on social media. Last night, a flurry of leaks emerged on Twitter, making everyone even more excited about what's to come.

Many leaks have been hinting at new items and expected changes to the island for the upcoming season. It appears that Chapter 4 Season 2 may be based on a futuristic version of Tokyo city, similar to Neo Tilted from Chapter 1 Season X.

Loopers are calling it Neo-Tokyo instead of its codename Asteria, which is definitely more fitting. The season update promises to alter the dynamics of gameplay significantly, as players will see the return of the Grapple Glider Gun and a modified version of the web shooters.

Rumors are also circulating about upcoming cosmetics in the game.

The latter is a Save the World hero who is finally going to make his way onto the looped island.


Swamp Knight to arrive in Fortnite Battle Royale for Chapter 4 Season 1

In Save The World (STW), Swamp Knight is a Legendary Soldier Hero skin that was made available in 2019 with the Chapter 2 Season 1 update. Players could get the hero by completing Crypts Part 2 Quests.

The Swamp Knight has two perks in STW, which could be utilized to increase the damage inflicted on mist monsters during a mission. These include Stay Frosty and Suppressive Fire, both of which give players an edge in battle.

As per trusted leaker HYPEX, the Swamp Knight outfit will be available in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 1. It will cost around 800 V-Bucks and may have other cosmetics associated with it.

The Swamp Knight is one of the rarest heroes in STW mode, and OG fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival. It will likely cost $15.99 and come with a range of exclusive items that will remain in the player's locker forever.

Other classic Save The World characters like Robo Kevin, Lars, Kyle and Penny have also been added to Battle Royale as cosmetics. Speculation is rife as to whether the Swamp Knight will retain its original outfit from the paid game mode or if Epic Games will update its cosmetic design for Fortnite Chapter 4.

Loopers are in for a treat as the upcoming season promises to take full advantage of Unreal Engine 5.1 and deliver an exciting visual experience. Players still have time to finish their Battle Pass by completing the Oathbound Quests and the Geralt of Rivia Part 2 questline, which will reward them with free items and XP boosts before the current season ends.

Fortnite players can also complete the Find it in Fortnite questline to earn free cosmetics and an exclusive Check the Map emote by completing certain tasks in Creative mode.
