The end of the Galactus Event gave birth to the highly anticipated Chapter 2, Season 5 of Fortnite. It wasn’t long after the new season arrived that Epic Games teased a massive winter update.
As usual, the new update adds a string of fresh additions to the battle royale. One of the most hypnotic additions is the signature greeting of our beloved T’challa that is the ‘Wakanda Forever’ emote.
V15.10 Winter is the first significant update of Season 5. As expected, it has become the talk of the town, especially with Fortnite paying tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman and his character. Not only does the update promise heaps of new challenges and quests, but it also promises a Wakanda Forever emote to the players who complete these, as an ode to Black Panther.
