'Fortnite' new season trailer reveals waterskiable sharks and I'm done for the day
Watch Next

I'm gonna be honest with you. It has clearly been a while since I've played Fortnite. They've got sharks now! And you can ride 'em. Pulled along like you're waterskiing. Wait, what day is it? Whose hands are these?

Following multiple delays and an event that saw the battle royale game's island surrounded by an alarmingly colossal wall of water, Epic Games has released the trailer for its third season for Fortnite: Chapter 2, which reveals a big focus on aquatic adventuring. I guess the motorboats and fishing that came out last year have levelled up.

You'll spy large areas of the map that have been submerged Waterworld-style, and are now playable with some form of shark-pulled waterski, because why not? Plus, there are new characters to unlock, including our underwater pal Aquaman and a mech kitty called Kit.

Fortnite: Chapter 2 - Season 3 is out June 17. Go forth and sharkski.
