Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Themed Around Resistance, Features Doctor Strange And Parkour

thegamer.com:

Fortnite's Chapter 3, Season 2 will be themed around Resistance and will introduce Doctor Strange, The Prowler, and parkour mechanics to the game.

Earlier today, Epic released the cinematic trailer for Fortnite's latest season, which is named "Resistance" and features the players rallying to go up against Doctor Sloane, who has returned with an army. As is the case with any Fortnite cinematic trailer, it's almost always hinting at some of the additions to the season, although until we see a gameplay overview of some kind, we won't know what's actually making it into the season.

The cinematic trailer showed drills coming up from the ground, which has been teased in-game over the past few weeks. We then see tanks going up against armoured battle buses, before some players start showing off the new parkour mechanics, which were leaked at the start of the last season and are finally making their debut here.

It's not clear if the parkour mechanics are going to be part of the player's base moveset, or if they require some sort of item like how web-swinging was limited to the Spider-Man gloves, but it seems more likely to be the latter. Still, we did get sliding as part of the main moveset, so anything is possible.

The rest of the trailer shows the war between the players and Doctor Sloane's army, including characters who look like The Foundation and have similar moves. More features teased in the rest of the trailer include rope lifts that carry players to the top of a mountain, similarly to ziplines, and a unique item used by Doctor Sloane that eliminates all builds in the vicinity.

It's not clear if the item is just for the purposes of the trailer,
