Image via: Epic Games
With big ambition and even bigger hallmarks of confused style, the latest Fortnite Chapter, heavily marked with superhero vibes, possesses competing mechanics and Twitch Drops that tempt all.
With the conception of this Super Chapter, it looks like the return of Epic to being Double-Ons, focusing on fine-tuned fan interaction, crossovers, and gameplay layers.
Free Twitch Drops: Retropack and Nightblade Now Available
If there's something that a Fortnite player loves more than Victory Royale, then it's free cosmetics. They have been given the chance to bag two exclusive items via Twitch Drops between now and June 15, the Neon Retropack Back Bling and the Nightblade Pickaxe- glowing-neon orange, glowering-warrior-and-superhero style.
Visually, the Retropack is retro-futuristically designed, whilst the Nightblade resembles/adorned fiery flame swords.
To claim these items, the requirement is simple: You have to watch a Fortnite Twitch stream for 30 minutes and your Neon Retropack will be unlocked; add an additional 30 minutes to the 30, and the now 1-hour stream will unlock the Nightblade Pickaxe for you, all the while making sure your Epic Games account is linked with your Twitch account.

The fine-looking glows go great with any outfit, paying tribute to the numbingly fast action and comic book styling featured throughout this season.
Hero Rank System
Perhaps the most game-changing addition this season is the Hero Rank system. It's not about surviving anymore, it's proving yourself.
At the start of a match, every player begins at Hero Rank C. As the game progresses, you can rank up by:
Eliminating enemies
Defeating henchmen
Surviving storm circles
Completing map objectives, such as returning sprites to shrines
These actions will boost your rank from C to B, then to A, and finally S—each step granting access to Hero Caches, which are special chests with better loot scores.
These caches create map control and reward momentum, rewarding aggressive and intelligent gameplay.
The system makes Fortnite feel more like an evolving battle—a way to power up through the match which aligns more with the superhero narrative this season is pushing.
Mobile Return & Free Burnoff Skin
With Fortnite relaunching on iOS platforms in the U.S., Epic is celebrating by liberating the Burnoff skin for free. Simply log in via a mobile device, be it iOS or Android, and the skin will appear in your locker.
This is set in movement to bring Fortnite back on mobile in an even bigger and easier way.

Rumored Crossovers: Animated Icons Could Join the Island
Leakers have it aired that the next crossover wave for Fortnite could bring animated comedy icons akin to Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and King of the Hill. While these collaborations are yet to be confirmed, they reflect Epic's ongoing strategy of cultural integration which turns Fortnite into a multiverse of pop culture.
The Hero Rank system provides real-time progression, while Twitch Drops and bonuses ensure rewards for all styles of play. With more collaborations and leaks hinting at animated legends entering the league, Fortnite's future continues to look great.

Dehradun: Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday directed officials to take steps toward digitising Uttarakhand's dialects, folk tales, folk songs, and literature. "An e-library should be established for this purpose, and a linguistic map of the state's dialects prepared. In addition to expanding collections of folk tales, audio-visual materials should also be created," he said while chairing the general assembly and management executive committee meeting of the Uttarakhand Bhasha Sansthan (Language Institute) at the Secretariat. A decision was also taken that the ancient 'Bakna' singing of the Pandavani tradition in the Jaunsar Bawar region will be documented for preservation. The Institute will conduct comprehensive literary collections of renowned playwright 'Govind Ballabh Pant,' compile literature published 50 to 100 years ago by Uttarakhand writers in various Indian journals and undertake research projects for the preservation and study of Uttarakhand's high Himalayan and tribal languages.

Court dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation suit against Blake Lively; rules her harassment claims are legally protected
In a major legal setback, Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds has been dismissed by a judge. The court upheld that Lively's sexual harassment allegations are legally protected. Lively's legal team hailed the decision as a victory, planning to pursue attorneys' fees and damages against Baldoni, accusing him of abusive litigation. A judge on Monday threw out Justin Baldoni 's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds , ruling that Lively's sexual harassment allegations are legally protected and cannot be challenged in court. Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Justin Baldoni's sweeping $400 million lawsuit — which included claims of defamation, extortion, and more — ruling most of it legally baseless. However, the court granted Baldoni permission to amend and refile limited claims related to alleged interference with contracts. Blake Lively's legal team celebrated the court's decision, calling it 'a total victory and a complete vindication' not just for Lively, but also for those named in what they described as a 'retaliatory lawsuit,' including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane, and The New York Times. Labeling the $400 million suit a 'sham,' the lawyers said the court 'saw right through it.' They added that they now plan to pursue attorneys' fees, treble damages, and punitive damages against Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer co-founders and other parties involved in the 'abusive litigation.

In his Monday ruling, Judge Lewis J Liman found that the original allegations—filed with the California Civil Rights Department and later shared with The New York Times—were protected under litigation privilege, a legal safeguard that shields such claims from defamation lawsuits. Judge Liman also ruled that The New York Times was shielded by the 'fair report' privilege, which protects media outlets from defamation claims when reporting accurately on legal proceedings.
