A prominent Fortnite leaker has revealed that proximity chat could be coming to Epic Games' popular battle royale in the near future, allowing players to hear their allies based on how close they are. Fortnite recently featured a live event that saw players face off against a large creature with a massive tentacle. While the players defeated that creature with the help of Superman, the tentacle remained on the island.
Chapter 6 Season 4 of Fortnite is all about a massive bug invasion, which has seen the creatures run rampant on the island. As with every season, players can expect to see the loot pool significantly updated. Gamers will also be able to explore all new locations and even meet fresh characters. A new season also means players will be able to work through a fresh battle pass that features both free and paid rewards. Chapter 6 Season 4 launches on August 7 alongside Season 5 of the popular game mode Fortnite OG, which is also receiving a new battle pass.
Fortnite Leak Reveals New Details About One Punch Man Crossover
A prominent Fortnite leaker shares new details about the upcoming One Punch Man crossover coming to Epic Games' popular battle royale.
Proximity Chat Could Be Coming to Fortnite
In a recent post on Twitter, the popular leaker Wensoing (with the help of Loolo_WRLD) revealed that proximity chat has been added to the game's files. Proximity chat is one of Fortnite's highly requested features, as some gamers enjoy the immersion it provides. Currently, it seems as if the files were added to Creative experiences, though the leaker stated proximity chat could also come to the game's main battle royale mode as well. According to Wensoing, this feature can be enabled and disabled, so players won't have to engage with it if they don't want to.
It has also been rumored that Fortnite will be adding companions to the game. While leakers have been unable to share a firm timeline, it has been rumored that companions will be a new cosmetic type. According to various leaks, only the player and their teammates will be able to see the companions, as they will not be visible to everyone. A lot of players were happy to hear about the feature, as some people were worried that the presence of pets could create too much visual clutter on the battlefield.
It seems as if Epic Games is preparing to release a wide variety of crossovers for fans to be excited about as well. At San Diego Comic Con, James Gunn announced that Peacemaker will be coming to Fortnite's Item Shop. A recent leak also revealed that players will soon be able to purchase cosmetics based on the popular anime One Punch Man. With so much content to enjoy and even more just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
