Fortnite’s collaboration with iconic monster Godzilla has sparked intense interest among players eager to transform into the legendary creature, yet not every player has had the opportunity to do so.
Beginning January 17, 2025, Epic Games introduced Godzilla to the battle royale map, allowing players to take on the role of the fearsome king after locating a special portal. This transformation process is initiated when a mysterious portal sporadically appears on the island.
Upon reaching the portal, the first player can become Godzilla, acquiring formidable abilities including a powerful roar, a devastating stomp, and a lethal heat ray. Meanwhile, players who do not transform can target Godzilla’s weak spots to earn additional rewards.
Godzilla Enhancements and Player Engagement
Initially, Epic Games set the Godzilla portal’s spawn rate at just 20%.However, responding to player feedback regarding difficulty in finding the portal, they increased this rate to 40%, effectively doubling the chances for players to access the legendary monster. Despite this enhancement, numerous players reported spending substantial time in gameplay without encountering the portal.
To alleviate ongoing frustration, Fortnite announced through their social media channels, “MORE ZILLA 🚨, ” confirming that Godzilla would now appear in every match throughout the weekend. Additionally, the developers significantly bolstered Godzilla’s health by an impressive 90%, ensuring a fiercer challenge for players.

Community reactions have been mixed, with some players expressing excitement, while others remain frustrated. One player shared, “Who’s played as Godzilla yet? I haven’t had the chance, only killed him once so far, ” highlighting how challenging it has been to embody the monster prior to the weekend updates.
Others in the community called for continued improvements, with comments like, “We need a little more pep in that step. Let us wreak havoc on the map, ” indicating a desire for more fulfilling gameplay experiences associated with Godzilla.
With a 100% spawn rate, players now have increased opportunities to experience transformation into Godzilla. This change necessitates strategic choices: will you pursue victory or seek out the portal to confront other players as the monster? The ongoing Godzilla-themed quests, which conclude on January 31, heighten the urgency to engage with these dynamic battle mechanics.
For those who haven’t yet participated, be mindful that time is running out to seize this thrilling opportunity.
