Fortnite Batman event: ‘Welcome to Gotham City’ challenges and rewards

Fortnite Battle Royale players will be ramping up for the upcoming Batman crossover event, bringing a whole new Gotham City point of interest, and there’s a few challenges to complete as well. 

As regular players of the battle royale game will know by now, during the course of Season 10 Epic Games have incorporated a number of different content from other franchises – including a limited time Pandora rift zone for Borderlands 3, and an IT Chapter Two tease at Pleasant Park. 

However, things are about to change massively at the Tilted Town location, again, with a brand new Rift Zone appearing at the landing spot and construction of a Gotham City replica to replace it, confirmed on September 21.

Fortnite’s next crossover will bring Gotham City to the Season 10 map.

Those who have loaded up the game since will know that Epic is now advertising a new set of ‘Welcome to Gotham City’ challenges, meaning that not only will the POI be coming to the game very soon indeed, but fans can pick up some cool rewards in the meantime.
