Epic Games has released the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass, continuing the trend of debuting major collaborations at the start of a new chapter. This season features two high-profile movie characters: Marty McFly from Back to the Future and Beatrix "The Bride" Kiddo from Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. These additions provide a mix of classic film recognition and in-game variety, following a similar approach to last year’s Chapter 6 Season 1, which included Godzilla and Hatsune Miku.
Alongside these marquee characters, the battle pass offers six additional skins. Four of these are human characters, including Carina, a skater girl with blue hair and a wrist cast, who is likely to appeal to players seeking a modern, casual design. The pass also introduces Kingston, a lion-themed character with a laid-back appearance, and a refreshed version of the Eternal Voyager skin, which seems to have a connection to The Seven.
How Skins Are Unlocked
The Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass introduces a more flexible unlocking system compared to previous passes. The Bride is available immediately upon purchase, and Dark Voyager serves as the final unlockable skin. The remaining skins can be earned in any order, allowing players to progress at their own pace. Unlike past seasons, there is no time-gated bonus skin, meaning all eight skins are accessible from the start of the season.
Battle Pass Cost and V-Bucks Rewards
The Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass is priced at 1,000 V-Bucks and is included with a Fortnite Crew subscription, whether purchased independently or through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Players can earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks through the pass, providing additional in-game currency to spend on future content. This structure continues Epic Games’ approach of balancing premium rewards with optional subscription benefits, giving players flexibility in how they engage with the season.
New Features and Season Highlights
Chapter 7 Season 1 emphasizes both classic collaborations and new original content. The mix of recognizable movie characters and original designs caters to a broad range of players, from those seeking nostalgia to those interested in fresh cosmetic options. The flexible unlocking system removes previous restrictions, allowing players to prioritize the skins they prefer, and the early access to all skins encourages engagement from the start of the season.
