Today’s bumper Fortnite update 18.40 has arrived and the game’s hugely-anticipated Naruto crossover is now in full swing – with the promise of Fortnite’s dreaded Brute mechs returning on the horizon.
This update is the last for Fortnite this season – that we can say for sure. But it may also be the last for Fortnite this Chapter – for the game’s whole Island map.
The latest patch notes go out of their way to reference the game’s Chapter 1 Season X trailer – the last before the old map got sucked into a black hole. And the return of Season X’s Brutes is joined by the unvaulting of Fortnite’s OG vehicle, the shopping cart, for a spin around the game’s second map before it too is replaced.

On the Island, The Cube Queen’s domain is growing into a pyramid – which fits with earlier leaks on what may happen next. Behind the scenes, the game looks prepped for a period of downtime following the end of this season.
