Epic Games spent Sunday morning posting a thread of cryptic messages on the Fortnite Twitter account, ones seemingly part of the growing storyline leading us to its eventual conclusion. Players were caught off guard by the new communications, one that specifies the Fox Clan -- and, you'll likely notice, the Fortnite Twitter avatar has been changed to a fox.
Epic is back with another #Fortography theme, this time seeking players' best images of the 'Stealthy Stronghold' location from which the Predator emerges. This isn't the first time the company has sought interesting images from players with the company explaining back in early December that it wants 'more than just a gameplay photo.'
Epic Games has released an official statement on claims that Fortnite account data, namely email addresses, are being leaked. The allegation seemed to kick off with a tweet from pro player Yung Calc, who tweeted a message encouraging players to disable the 'Show on Career Leaderboard' setting over concerns that their emails were being leaked.
Just hours after a leak that revealed the new skins, Epic Games has officially launched its new Terminator T-800 and Sarah Conner offerings. The new skins were introduced alongside a new launch trailer showing Agent Jonesy and how he brought the two characters to the battle royale island, where they'll now operate as bounty hunters.
A new major Fortnite leak has dropped, one revealing the upcoming Terminator and Sarah Connor skins fans have been anticipating. The leak comes only days after Epic officially introduced the Predator skin we'd been waiting for, underscoring just how many relatively minor crossovers are arriving in the game this season.
Well, that didn't take long. The Predator skin finally arrived in Fortnite today, giving players access to a new bounty hunter with an awesome Mythic-tier cloaking device. The only problem? Players have already discovered a glitch that enables the invisibility cloak to stay persistently active during the entire match.
After weeks of teases, the Predator has arrived in Fortnite. Oftentimes, crossover skins like this need to be purchased from the shop, but that isn't the case with Predator. Instead, players who have the battle pass for Chapter 2, Season 5 can unlock the skin by completing a series of challenges. These challenges have been slowly unlocking over the past few weeks, culminating with a new challenge today that will have you going toe-to-toe with the Predator himself.
The latest Fortnite update is ready to roll, including a new boss character, a new mythic item, new Jungle Hunter Quests, and IO Guards removed from the Arena. Overnight an issue appeared with searching for specific players through friends lists - if you're still experiencing that, make sure you're not "mass accepting" any friend requests in the interim. UPDATE: Fornite's creators suggest they've fixed the error this morning.
Lara Croft, the tomb raider herself, may be the next bounty hunter pulled into the Fortnite universe, at least based on a recent leak. The claim is based on some recent code found in the game's data files, though Epic hasn't yet confirmed whether it is true. Croft would join other notable fictional characters who have arrived as Season 5 bounty hunters.
On Thursday, Epic Games detailed the status of its January 2021 Fortnite Crew plan, as well as its plans for the future. The company hasn't yet revealed what subscribers can expect to get in February's drop, but it has teased that future Crew bundles may include more content than players currently receive.
The calendar has switched to another year but some things have unsurprisingly remained the same. COVID-19 still threatens the world's population, Big Tech is still on trial for various things, and Fortnite remains absent on iPhones. Despite being one of last year's highest-profile dramas, the fight between Epic Games and Apple seems to still have no resolution in sight. As if to stir things up again, Epic Games has apparently filed an antitrust complaint against Apple and even Google, this time in the United Kingdom across the pond.
Fortnite received a new update today, and it seems to set the stage for the arrival of a new hunter. As leaks have suggested, it looks like the next Fortnite crossover will be with the Predator franchise, with a number of Predator-themed cosmetics already in the game. The good news is that this Predator skin will be free to those who owns the Chapter 2, Season 5 battle pass - provided, of course, that those battle pass owners complete the challenges required to unlock the skin.
