That hasn't really come to fruition
Overview
- When Season 5 really struck, however, things were not quite so apparent. There was one major nod to the idea of time travel: a big Viking Village laid down on top of a hill, along with some fitting skins in the conflict pass. Nothing else really fit that idea, however: we got two large new areas in the shape of a desert in the southeast and also a golf course in the north, but good luck laying anything consistent onto those Fortnite materials. The battle pass skins are all around the place, and superior skins don't offer a lot more help. There are a few cool ones, undoubtedly, but it's hard to peg them to anything resembling a motif.
The weekly battle loading displays were on a car for narrative last season, but so much they just sort of show Drift goofing off. The catch-phrase of Season 5 is"worlds collide," which most took to imply that the map was going to be transformed with a couple distinct themed areas from other time periods. That hasn't really come to fruition.
Epic Games has clearly proven its proficiency for large reveals: the rocket launch and first times of Seasons 5 and 4 leave little room to doubt . But the job of drawing a constant narrative over the course of a season is a daunting one for a sport that occurs in bite-sized matches, and there's still some room for advancement.
I presume that things are going to pick up within the upcoming few weeks, like they did last season with the rocket launch and the visual appeal of the rifts. However, part of the delight of those rifts was that they seemed like they had been dropping hints about Season 5, and things did not really resolve in such a manner that the narrative felt consistent. And that is actually the challenge here: not just to nail massive days, yet to stitch them together into something players may follow. If there's a rocket launch-style occasion coming up, it is likely to be somewhat harder to guess at what it means following the experience of the last few weeks.
Until then, those rifts are still in the air, and they clearly have something to do with what weapons is likely to be happening going forward. Nevertheless, the first half of this season has been a small narrative gap, and one which I hope we do not see in precisely the same way next season. A themed conflict pass is a powerful tool for making the game feel fresh even when the gameplay itself does not change all that much, but it might be doing more work this year.
