Epic Games is getting ready to drop a massive new patch for Fortnite called update 39.20. This update marks the end of the winter holidays in the game. It also cleans up the Chapter 7 map to make room for fresh content. The biggest news is a giant crossover with the show South Park. There are also hints about new story secrets and other famous characters joining the fun.<\/p>\n
\n
The game will go offline for a short break on January 9, 2026. This happens at 4 AM ET. You won\u2019t be able to play for about an hour or two while the team fixes the servers. After that, the new patch will be ready for everyone to download.<\/p>\n
The South Park collaboration is the star of the show. You can get skins for Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny. Even Butters is joining the group. To make them fit in the game, the characters wear cool mech suits. This helps them look right when you are aiming and moving. There is also a new sidekick named Towelie who follows you around. You can even earn free rewards through a special mini pass called Born in Chaos.<\/p>\n
There is a new powerful item called the Stick of Truth. It is a legendary weapon that can actually change how the storm works. You can find it at a new map location called Cartmanland. This spot is taking over the old Wonkeeland area. Because the stick is so strong, you can only use it one time per match.<\/p>\n
A funny new feature called Everyone Kills Kenny is coming to the game. It is a nod to the famous joke from the show where Kenny always dies. When this is active, every single player gets a kit to revive themselves. This will lead to some very wild and long battles.<\/p>\n
For the first time ever, you can play in teams of five. This new mode is called Quints. It was teased in a picture showing Butters waiting for four friends in a lobby. This mode will only be around until February 5. If people love it, Epic Games might make it a permanent part of the game later on.<\/p>\n
If you have the Battle Pass, there is more work to do. New \u201cSuper Styles\u201d are unlocking for your characters. This means you can get shiny new versions of skins like Kingston and the Dark Voyager. There are also fresh weekly quests to help you level up faster.<\/p>\n
Rumors say the anime Chainsaw Man might show up soon. Leakers found music from the show hidden in the game files. We might also see the return of The Seven with special rift rifles and cannons. Fans of James Bond should look out for a new Aston Martin car in the shop too. It is going to be a very busy month for players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
