The Fortnite<\/em> Cuddles and Chaos event has begun, giving players the opportunity to earn tons of freebies. The goal of the Cuddles and Chaos event is to promote creature games, a new Creative Island category in Fortnite<\/em> that focuses on sidekick gameplay.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Initially, Epic Games attempted to add companion creatures to Fortnite<\/em> as pets during Chapter 1 Season 6 in 2018. While they had a handful of fun animations, they were bound to players’ backs, as they were technically considered back blings. Unfortunately, Epic didn’t release many pets before dropping the idea entirely. In November 2025, seven years later, Epic revised the idea with the launch of sidekicks \u2014 free-roaming creatures that are invisible to opponents and follow the players through a match. Players were even able to customize them and earn Sidekick Points to get additional cosmetics to dress them up.<\/p>\n While sidekicks were definitely an improvement compared to pets, many felt that there was more that could be done with them. To make the most of these creatures, Epic Games introduced Cuddles and Chaos to Fortnite<\/em>. Not long before creature games became available, Epic Games gave island creators the ability to make maps using sidekicks so they could prepare new islands for the launch of Cuddles and Chaos.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n How to play Cuddles and Chaos islands in Fortnite
