'Fortnite' Season 6 Latest News Update: Maps, New Skin and A New Pet Will Arrive

After weeks of intense teasing, Season 6 of Fortnite is finally on its way on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. It comes with some big changes to the high-octane battle royale game.

In addition to new locations around the map, there will be a slew of fresh skins and other cosmetics. Aside from that, Fornite Season 6 has introduced Pets, GameSpot reported.

Among the many new rewards that you'll be able to unlock with the Season 6 Battle Pass are Pets, cute companions who'll accompany you as you clash with your competitors. Much like Back Bling, these little guys are worn on your back. They don't have any practical uses. They are purely cosmetic, as with all Battle Pass rewards, but they look cute, and they'll react differently depending on what you're doing; leap a great distance, for example, and they'll hang on for dear life.

So far, three different kinds of Pets are currently available, and they're available in multiple colors: Bonsey, a dog; Scales, a baby dragon; and Camo, a chameleon. You can see images of them, along with all of the other new cosmetics and skins you can get your hands this season, in the complete Season 6 Battle Pass rewards gallery.

In addition to the Pets, Epic has introduced a lot of new skins in Fornite Season 6. Some of these, such as the DJ Yonder and Calamity outfits, which was previously glimpsed at in the teaser images Epic shared leading up to the new season, but there is also a new Red Riding Hood skin and other loosely Halloween-themed rewards to unlock.

Season 6 arrived alongside Fortnite's 6.0 patch, which vaulted several weapons and made tweaks to various others. It also introduced a new type of consumable item called Shadow Stones. You can read more about the new changes in the 6.0 patch notes.
