- Fortnite's August 26 update is the first major update for the ongoing Chapter 6 Season 4.
- The update v37.10 brings Festival Season 10 headlines by Gorillaz.
- New gameplay items and skin collabs will be added to the files.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 transformed the island into a bug-infested warzone as players were forced into a war against swarms of insects, with new POIs and weapons at their disposal. The season’s Power Rangers collab and Halo-themed Battle Pass skins were quite exciting add-ons; however, some have expressed their frustrations with the lack of scoped weapons.
In the past week, Epic made some major changes to the loot pool, eventually vaulting Queen Bug Medallions and several items like the Shockwave Launcher to keep gameplay balanced. Now, the v37.10 update, the season’s first major patch, is set to improve the experience even further. Want to know what’s in store? Read on the early patch notes to have a peek at what’s coming.

Squid Game’s Frontman Makes An Entrance
The Fortnite x Squid Game collab, unveiled at Gamescom 2025, introduces the highly anticipated Front Man skin, which depicts the evil overlord of the Netflix series. This skin, which features the Front Man’s distinctive black mask and coat, is rumored to include a Dalgona-themed pickaxe, Loot Piggy back bling, and the Mingle Game Dance emote.
It will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop beginning August 26 at 8 PM EDT, for around 1,500 V-Bucks individually or 2,000 V-Bucks in a bundle. Players may buy it directly with V-Bucks, joining other Squid Game cosmetics in this crossover event.
New Gameplay Items
Fortnite update 37.10 is all set to add new gameplay items. First up is the Roly Poly, a bug-inspired mount that enables players to roll and bounce throughout the map while also providing a charging speed burst for dynamic movement.
Next up is the Hammerhead Choppa, a novel vehicle that can hover in mid-air, and players can switch seats to control a powerful cannon. Finally, the Exotic Shockwave Launcher launches grenades that slow enemies and allies mid-air and comes as a replacement for the vaulted Shockwave Launcher.
Furthermore, rumors are circulating regarding a Megazord Mythic Gun, a potentially high-damage weapon linked to the Power Rangers collab. And finally, a Megazord transformation is rumored, allowing players to transform into the classic Dino Megazord during epic battles.
Blitz Update, Battle Pass Super Styles and Future Leaks
The upcoming patch will also bring new content across multiple modes and add several upcoming content to the game files. The Blitz Royale mode will get an “Asteria Awakened” update, which improves the fast-paced 32-player Battle Royale with new gameplay twists, unique weaponry, and power-ups in a tight map ideal for rapid matches.
Next up, Battle Pass Super Styles will be unlocked, and players will finally get to see the skins they can unlock once they pass level 100 in their Shock ‘N Awesome pass. In Fortnite OG, a strange red cube, unlike the iconic “Kevin,” will appear near Paradise Palms, setting the atmosphere for an epic finale inbound next month.
Additional leaks point to Fortnitemares 2025, which promises terrifying new skins, haunted-themed cosmetics, and unsettling map tweaks to honor the Halloween season. Companions are also teased, which might introduce pet-like items or interacting allies. These improvements, paired with leaks, raise expectations for an exciting Fortnite experience with the upcoming update.
