The new season of play for mobile, console, and computer hit Fortnite introduces the Neo Tilted and Mega Mall locations, a short-range airborne flight system called Slipstream, and will last 12 weeks instead of the usual 10, extending Season 9 over the remainder of the Fortnite World Cup and its Finals.

After the events of Season 8 finally razed iconic and strategic Fortnite location Tilted Towers, a new and shiny Neo Tilted has risen in its place, with a slick Mega Mall shopping complex standing where Retail Row once was.

Likewise, Loot Lake has been drained and a Pressure Plant snakes out of the volcano.

In addition, there's a new airborne transportation system called Slipstream and a network of enormous bladeless fans that encompasses a good portion of the Fortnite map.

There are also some separate Air Vent jumps, several Sky Islands dotted around the Fortnite island, and a multi-stage Slipstream challenge unlocking day by day over the course of Season 9.

The features' clean, futuristic aesthetic recalls Japanese animé as well as fellow team game Overwatch.

With a new season of Fortnite comes the Season 9 Battle Pass, which brings 100 tiers worth of challenges, boosts, and unlockable costumes, item decals, and other cosmetics.
