Fortnite update 21.10 is upon us, and as this is the first patch of Chapter 3 Season 3, there’s a lot of excitement about the new features and skins that will be unveiled.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 has brought loads of changes to the Island, including the Reality Tree that’s slowly spreading its roots across the map and rideable wild animals – but Epic Games aren’t stopping there.

The first major mid-season update of Chapter 3 Season 3, update 21.10, will bring with it new Snap styles to unlock, the long-awaited Battle Pass Super Styles, and another Naruto collaboration to enjoy.

You’ll find everything we know about Fortnite update 21.10 so far – including downtime details – in the early patch notes below.

Darth Vader arrives on the Island

After two weeks of partying and enjoying the Vibin’ theme, this season’s boss fight has arrived to shake things up. Yes, it’s Darth Vader, and he’s bringing his Stormtroopers along for the ride.

We’ve got a guide to finding and defeating Darth Vader, as well as details on how to get his Mythic Lightsaber weapon – which you can throw at enemies like a boomerange!

Super Styles will be unlocked in the Battle Pass

Each season of Fortnite, there are multiple ‘Super Styles’ available to unlock for the Battle Pass skins. These are usually themed around colors like gold, purple, or even rainbow.

The Super Styles for the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 Battle Pass skins have now arrived. You can get Platinum Rift, Lapis Slurp, and Auric Blaze skin styles for Evie, Sabina, Malik, Adira, and Stormfarer.

More styles for the Snap skin are revealed

It’s not just Super Styles being released for the Battle Pass on June 23, as the Fortnite 21.10 update will also make way for loads more styles for the Snap skin, which is featured in the Battle Pass.

Just like with the previous Snap styles, you’ll need to find Tover Tokens hidden around the Island to unlock them all. Expect four heads, four arms, two legs, and a new torso style this time around.

A second wave of Naruto skins are on the way

The previous Naruto crossover event was one of the most popular collaborations in Fortnite history, so it’s not too surprising that more characters will be joining the iconic anime ninja in this update.

Several posters have been spotted around Tokyo featuring Gaara, Itachi, Orochimaru, and Hinata, so it’s safe to assume these four skins will be featured. They’ll arrive in the item shop on June 24.

The Nindo Challenges have returned

Ahead of the Naruto skins dropping in the item shop, the Nindo Challenges have returned once again. You’ll have four themed challenges to complete in order to earn free cosmetics.

You can find out more about the Nindo Challenges here, including the free glider and weapon wrap you can unlock along the way!
