FORTNITE is launching its Godzilla event today, January 17, as part of the Japanese-themed Chapter 6 Season 1, dubbed Demon Hunters. In this latest collab, Godzilla is being added as a boss that players will have to defeat on the Battle Royale map. Unlike your usual bosses that drop a Mythic weapon in Fortnite, Godzilla won’t be just an NPC waiting at a set location on the map.

Instead, in some matches, one player will get the chance to control the King of the Monsters, while the others team up to defeat it. Here’s everything you need to know about Godzilla in Fortnite, including when and where the kaiju drops, how to become Godzilla and how to defeat it.

The Godzilla event has dropped into Fortnite at 2pm GMT / 9am ET on January 17, 2025. The event also adds Godzilla quests you can complete to earn rewards, including a couple of Godzilla skins, if you own the current Battle Pass. First of all, keep in mind that the opportunity to become Godzilla during a match won’t be available every time.

On rare occasions, a portal, known as a Hollow Earth Rift Gate, will appear on the Battle Royale map for a limited time. The first player who gets to the gate will become Godzilla and will be able to control the monster. If you get to the Hollow Earth Rift Gate first and use it, you will transform into the King of the Monsters and can start wreaking havoc on the map.
