- Fans are speculating that the upcoming season could involve a heist, potentially targeting the mythic Drum Gun hidden in the vault under the house and possibly featuring the return of the character Midas.
- Fortnite has a history of teasing upcoming seasons through skin reveals, and it is expected that more Battle Pass skin teasers will be released in the lead-up to Chapter 4 Season 4.
Fortnite teased its blood moon eclipse through a content creator, and it seems it has done it once again with a POI that is going to be introduced in Chapter 4 Season 4. Even though Chapter 4 Season 3, also known as Fortnite WILDS, is coming to an end in less than a week, very little has been disclosed about its follow-up season. Fans have been paying close attention to known leakers in the community, but they've been coming up short and have not been able to find anything in the game files worth divulging.
Epic Games appears to be taking a different approach when it comes to promoting the upcoming Fortnite season. On August 12, Sharshock, a Fortnite content creator, shared a poster that he had received. Epic Games sent Sharshock a poster with a picture of a blood moon eclipse and a message thanking him for adding to someone's collection. It was an odd message, but it definitely made fans more curious, and it suggested that Chapter 4 Season 4 could have a darker theme.
Recently, another content creator received an interesting piece of information about the upcoming season. Blend Freshon, a Fortnite YouTuber and streamer, was sent an image of a brand-new POI called Relentless Retreat. Upon closer examination, it's possible to tell that this is actually the location shown in the first teaser for Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4. Along with the picture of the named location, they got a message that read, "I'm putting together a team, and a mutual friend told me you'd be the right person for the job. Can you share this information with your squad?"
Fans have been trying to figure out what this message could mean. It seems like whoever sent it is planning a heist. They could be trying to steal the mythic Drum Gun hidden in the vault under the house. As fan speculation grows, many players are hopeful that this could be Midas's hose and that he could be making a comeback for Chapter 4 Season 4.
Before Chapter 4 Season 3 started in early June, Fortnite released images of all the upcoming Battle Pass skins. They showed fans four skins one day and four other skins the following day. On August 21, four days prior to the start of Chapter 4 Season 4, Fortnite teased the first Battle Pass skin at 11 AM ET. Since there are usually eight skins in total, it's possible that a new skin teaser could drop every 12 hours.
Fortnite is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
