Furthermore, Rocket Racing will receive new cosmetic skins and a new McLaren collaboration bringing the car skins and more items into the game. Lastly, Fortnite Festival will receive a new collection of instruments and Jam Tracks alongside support for the upcoming Riffmaster controller for the game.

New story quests

Ever since the beginning of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, players have been tasked with an Underground mission to find the kidnapped Peely and rescue him. However, the story quests so far have only tasked players with getting accustomed to the new gameplay and getting familiar with the Society enemies.

Now with update 28.20 players are set to receive a brand-new set of story quests called Find Peely, which are currently only active for newer players. The update will open this questline to all the players as well as add more challenges to reward players with bonus XP and additional rewards.

New skins

Fortnite has been teasing new skins with Icon Series emote teasers lately and players are wondering about their release date in the Item Shop. However, it seems like with the update 28.20 these skins will finally make their way to the shop and end the drought of some fresh cosmetics that the players have been waiting for quite some time.

Furthermore, it has also been hinted that more Family Guy skins are coming to the game soon, so make sure to keep an eye out in the Item Shop with each reset.

While there’s still a lot to discover about what’s to come with the Fortnite 28.20 content patch, we’ll keep you updated right here with everything new once the update hits the game.
