Fortnite: Battle Royale just got a lot more wild with Deadpool hosting a new limited-time event in the game. The superhero mercenary took over the chapter 2, season 2 map and is hosting his own party for players to check out. The revamped map is complete with redecorated areas, a general Deadpool theme, and new items to buy in the store.
When players log in to Fortnite now, they will find that there is a lot of Deadpool to go around. For one, the Deadpool challenges this week allow players to finally unlock his official skin in the game. In addition, the Merc with a Mouth is changing up the battle royale island to fit his crazy party event.
The main change that players will notice immediately is the battle bus’s new makeover for this limited-time event. Instead of the usual decrepit blue bus, it has a shiny new red paint job with black accents, fitting the standard Deadpool costume. The bus itself is carried along by a hot air balloon with his face on it.
In addition, as teased by the official Deadpool Twitter account, the Yacht-named location is now completely different. The new area that was added at the start of season 2 is now Deadpool’s personal party boat.
The luxury boat found in the northeastern corner of the map now has a slick red aesthetic. With ornate borders and spotlights, the area is now going to be the center of attention for the coming weeks. Players can find Deadpool’s face and his favorite snack, chimichangas, scattered all around.
What players won’t find here is Meowscles, the spy agent previously stationed there as a boss. Instead, Meowscles is now at the box factory landmark on the southern end of the map.
While the Deadpool skin is finally available to unlock, it is far from the only cosmetic item that players can get right now. He also took over the daily item shop, replacing everything with his own pieces. Players can find a dragon unicorn glider, chimichanga emote, mallets pickaxe, and much more for purchase there.
No end date was given, but the Fortnite Deadpool event will likely stick around until the end of season 2. There are only a few more weeks left in the season, so players should take advantage of the fun while they still can.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
