Fortnite Season 8 Has Arrived On Switch

Epic Games has kicked off Fortnite Season 8 on all platforms including Nintendo Switch today.

To celebrate, Nintendo of America has uploaded the official Fortnite Season 8 and Season 8 Battle Pass trailers on Youtube.

Watch below:

Fortnite Season 8 has arrived, and a monstrous volcano has appeared! Freed from the Ice King’s castle, the now-powerful Prisoner has brought fire and flame to Fortnite and its islands. Beginning today, Pirates, Ninjas and a ship load of new fighters will tussle over treasure, battle with Pirate Cannons and uncover legendary loot in Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch system.

This new season brings a ton of new areas to explore and secrets to uncover. If you are brave enough to explore, the new Lazy Lagoon and Sunny Steps areas are just a jump away with the help of Volcanic Vents.

Party Assist is a new addition to Season 8. Before a match, you can pick a Daily or Weekly challenge to receive assistance from your friends to help you complete it. Team up with a friend to complete these new social challenges together.

A new season also means a new Battle Pass. More than 100 new exclusive rewards are ready for you to unlock, all for only 950 V-bucks. This season, you get the Blackheart and Hybrid progressive outfits instantly when you purchase the Battle Pass. Both outfits can level up to unlock new styles. For everyone who completed the 13 free Overtime Challenges during the Share the Love event, you can claim your free Season 8 Battle Pass on the Battle Pass tab or upgrade to a Battle Bundle at a discount.

Fortnite Creative is also getting some new content. In Season 8, set up deadly traps or harrowing trials in your own adventure games using the new Jungle Temple Prefab and Pinball Bumpers, exclusive to the Fortnite Creative mode.

And remember, with Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch system, you can enjoy everything Season 8 has to offer, anytime and anywhere. Where will you be playing Season 8?
