Read moreHow To Play As Godzilla In Fortnite
Fortnite’s collaboration with the Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse has brought Godzilla and King Kong skins to Fortnite, but this event isn’t just about cosmetics–it’s also adding the chance that one player each round of battle royale will get to play as Godzilla. And by “play as Godzilla,” I mean you will be taller than the tallest building in Seaport City, and will have the ability to crush every building and build on the map by stepping on it or firing off Godzilla’s laser breath.

I had no idea it would transcend a niche market to become a massive success and–as some have argued–change the course of skateboarding’s popularity (and possibly even skate trick evolution).”
Pro Skater’s popularity helped usher in a slew of similar ti…
