The new season, which is due to launch this Sunday, 18th September, will be titled “Paradise” - though looks to be anything but. Over the weekend, a series of social media teases set to go live officially this week were pounced on by fans, after being found early. The teases comprise three TikTok-style influencer videos, where items and people are suddenly consumed by a metallic gunge. In-game, Fortnite has made reference to this stuff washing up on the Island. Meanwhile, more energy is now being drawn from the map’s Zero Point macguffin - and soaked up by its mysterious Reality Tree. This summer season has been a deliberately chilled affair, following the spring’s climactic war between major in-game factions which wrapped up a host of dangling plot threads. Fans are now looking for Fortnite to kick things up a gear once again - as well as get spooky as the game’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event approaches. Following the leaks, Epic Games has now gone live with a simple splash page for Paradise showing its logo. We’re expecting more on what it all means later this week.
