The excitement is building as the much-anticipated Godzilla Evolved skin makes its debut in Fortnite on January 17. Epic Games is set to introduce two new pages of Battle Pass rewards dedicated to this legendary Kaiju.
However, a surprising twist has emerged from credible Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey. Many players assumed that unlocking these rewards would involve completing specific Godzilla-themed quests, but it appears they will instead need to increase their overall Account Level through experience points (XP) to access each reward tier.
The Godzilla reward pages will be earnable with Account Levels. Earn 24 account levels for every reward. People without the battle pass can get the following rewards for free by earning up to 22 account levels: – Godzilla Loading Screen – Godzilla’s Exo-Spine Backbling – Charged… pic.twitter.com/Va7nTsDfEv

Community Reaction to the Update
This change has sparked a backlash among segments of the Fortnite community. Players express frustrations over feeling that their recent efforts during the 33.20 update on January 14 have been in vain.
One player encapsulated the disappointment sharing, “So I shouldn’t have done the Weekly and Godzilla quests immediately…” while another added, “Basically, don’t play until Friday.” This sentiment reflects a broader discontent with the apparent value loss of completing quests promptly.
Critics of the new system voiced their thoughts: “That’s… Kinda lame. I liked the unique quests and being able to get them all done in a day. Gotta squeeze all the extra playtime out of us I guess,” lamented one player. Another comment highlighted, “Fortnite punishing us for playing the game when quests come out. Looks like it will be back to creative to unlock these faster.”
The Godzilla x Kong showdown event is anticipated to coincide with the launch of these skins and exclusive Battle Pass rewards on January 17. Epic Games has hinted at an exciting NPC showdown on the Chapter 6 map, featuring destruction along the Shining Span bridge and intriguing giant footprints.
Mixed Feelings Among Players
Not all feedback has been negative. Some players have expressed indifference or approval of the new approach. “It is a slight inconvenience but I also don’t hate this,” said one user, commenting on preferring to avoid chaotic lobbies where many players converge on a single objective.
Another player appreciated the change, stating, “To be honest I’m happy they changed it. I already don’t do quests at all (except if it’s on accident of course). I want to play the game and not basically throw away games landing somewhere just to complete random tasks.”
Ultimately, whether players are in favor of or against this transition, it seems to simplify the experience for casual gamers looking to enjoy matches without the pressure of completing specific quests for rewards.
As the launch of the Godzilla x Kong event approaches, it is sure to inspire excitement and engagement within the Fortnite community. Stay tuned for what promises to be an action-packed collaboration!
