When is Godzilla coming to Fortnite this week?

Godzilla is coming to Fortnite in Chapter 6 Season 1, ready to stomp on everything (and look extremely weird wearing Kicks while doing so). Compared to previous seasonal skins, like Solid Snake, Geralt of Rivia, and Wolverine, Godzilla’s intimidating bulk doesn’t quite transpose to a vaguely humanoid frame. But the character’s signature chonkiness (Fortnite’s Godzilla is based on the Godzilla x Kong iteration) will show up at some point both as a skin and on the map in Chapter 6 Season 1. Here’s what we know about Godzilla’s arrival in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1. When is Godzilla coming to Fortnite?
