How to get Godzilla Evolved and Mechagodzilla skins in Fortnite

Fortnite’s highly-anticipated Mechagodzilla and Godzilla Evolved skins are arriving soon. Here’s how players can unlock both Kaiju outfits this season.

The Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass features numerous Japan-themed skins and items, with one skin modeled after Big Hero 6’s Baymax.

Notably, the King of Monsters will round out the Battle Pass content in a future update, so players can’t unlock him just yet, and there’s also a Mechagodzilla skin set to join separately.

Here is a breakdown of when and how each Godzilla skins will be available for the taking.

When will the Godzilla Evolved and Mechagodzilla skin launch in Fortnite?

Godzilla Evolved will be available on January 17, 2025, while MechaGodzilla will arrive a day earlier on January 16.

Only players who purchase the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass can claim Godzilla’s Evolved skin while Mechagodzilla skin is available to anyone with enough V-bucks to buy it. It’s worth noting that Chapter 6’s Season 1 Battle Pass costs 1,000 V-Bucks and will remain available to purchase through February 21, 2025 at 5:00 AM EST.

Once available, the monstrous cosmetics will be usable across Fortnite’s Battle Royale, Festival, and Rocket Racing game modes.

How to claim the Godzilla Evolved skin

To unlock the Godzilla Evolved skin in Fortnite, players must purchase the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass for 1,000 V-Bucks and progress to level six of the Godzilla Evolved rewards found on the first page.

In order to level up the Battle Pass and unlock rewards for the legendary Kaiju, players must earn two Account Levels per reward by gaining 80,000 XP per level through gameplay and completing quests.

This marks a significant change from previous seasons, where mid-season featured BP skins were unlocked by completing special quests. Players unaware of the change were left frustrated, after they had already begun grinding the Godzilla quests introduced in the v33.20 update on January 14.

There are 12 different Godzilla cosmetic rewards on offer, including an alternate Energized Godzilla skin style that requires players to complete both pages of the mini-pass, by earning 24 Account Levels in total.

However, since developers modeled the first skin after the “evolved” Godzilla from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, his second cosmetic may similarly take inspiration from Legendary’s ongoing MonsterVerse.

While Fortnite hasn’t announced an exact date for Mechagodzilla’s departure from the Item Shop, the Godzilla quests end on January 31, so it’s likely he’ll be gone by then.

The Kong skin will cost you 1,500 V-Bucks. But the chaos doesn’t stop there – there’s also a MechaGodzilla x Kong bundle available:

• MechaGodzilla Skin: 1,800 V-Bucks (because apparently, robots are more expensive than giant apes)
• Kong’s Battle Axe Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks
• Proton Drill Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks
• B.E.A.S.T. Glove Emote: 400 V-Bucks
• Roar Power Glove Wrapper: 500 V-Bucks
• Cybernetic Scream Wrapper: 500 V-Bucks

If you’re interested in multiple items, the complete bundle is the best value. For just 2,800 V-Bucks, you’ll get Kong, MechaGodzilla, and all the extras.
