Fortnite update today (26th August): What changes in the Gorrilaz patch?
Digital Beach.
Is it sunshine in a bag, or is it just Gorillaz in Fortnite? The musical collab is incoming – and here's what to expect from today's update!
Both Fortnite as a whole and Fortnite Festival are receiving goodies to mark the occasion, as you would expect from such musical stalwarts.
There is no Damon Albarn in sight, though, as it is just the fictional characters from the band, 2D, Noodle, Russel Hobbs and Murdoc Niccals.
Maybe one day we’ll get a Blur x Fortnite collaboration…
Elsewhere in Fortnite-land, Kai Cenat is joining the game as part of the Icon Series, and if you haven’t snaffled them up already, the Power Rangers play a big role in Chapter 6 Season 4.
But read on to get the scoop on how to get the Noodle and 2D bundle for Fortnite, and what skins there are to unlock in Fortnite Festival!
