Fortnitehas managed to stay at the forefront of relevant video games not only because of its winning formula, or the constant updates it makes to keep said winning formula fresh, but its other various offerings it has to keep its massive player base interested. One of these retention tactics is throughFortniteCrew, of which Epic Games has revealed the details of for the month of June.

The Mecha Strike Commander skin appears to be aptly timed withFortnite’s Chapter 3 Season 2 end event, “COLLISION.“The fast-approaching event, scheduled to take place on June 4 at 1 PM PT/4 PM ET, will see the return of Mecha Team Leader fromFortnite’s first chapter. Slowly being reassembled in the background of the lobby, the giant mech will most likely attempt to put a stop to Dr. Slone’s Collider machine. With Mecha Weapons Team Outfits available in addition to Mecha Strike Commander, players have plenty of options for properly suiting up for the season-ending event.
In addition to the return of season-ending events (and related cosmetics), it has also been announced theFortniteChampionship Series will return to in-person competition. After several years of cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Epic Games revealed the FNCS Invitational will be hosted in-person on November 12-13 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Duos will compete for a $1,000,000 prize pool, one of esports' biggest prizes. Although it may be awhile before Esports events are back up to full steam, it’s certainly heartening to see in-person gaming events making a comeback.
Fortniteis free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
