So, gamers, this year´s season is just 19 days away. Some alien havoc is surely brewing if those emojis featured on the official tweet are anything to go by.
Epic has issued a teaser featuring emojis of a spaceship and aliens, thereby triggering a frenzy among the fans. So, what is really there to await? Allow us to break it down for you.
On one side, a crowd is split. Some want Rick from Rick and Morty to finally make an appearance (@Falin_UEFN pleaded, “Are we getting Rick this time please 🥺🙏”). Some others want the return of Kratos, though one player may have to wait until Chapter 7 for that (@HergoFN). And then there is the One Piece gang: @BorgesJonathon asked, “Is this the season when the anime collab drops?” I mean, Epic Games is always so unpredictable!
But the heavier debate: bugs versus aliens, okay? Yep, you heard that right, right? Some leaks have offered that there might be a bug invasion theme, and the reactions so far are mixed. @wandasfolkloree was blunt: “Fax bug invasion sounds boring. I don’t want no bug ass skins.” Meanwhile, @GamerPlays1998 admitted that they might rather see another alien season than bugs, calling bug skins a flop. @JdawgMorgo even joked about a mode where “whoever kills the most bugs wins,” though he dropped a skull emoji because that sounds like a nightmare.
Well, there is map talk. @BackersGamesF and @Creeeper_ had their back-and-forth over the merits of Chapter 6, with Creeper calling it “the best season in years” and Backers contending that “it is still so boring and needs a new map.” @airball727 injected a hot take: “I want them to either increase player count in BR like 120-150 or just make the map way smaller.” Honestly? Valid.
Any kind of hype for any season would have to be along with wails about this one. @UltraRareDuck had had it already: “I beat the passes weeks ago. Takes forever. It makes me stop playing.” @MintyMan284886 has dragged Chapter 5 and called S2 and S3 “recycled ideas.” And @Lixmzhy just dropped the mic with “Ngl Fortnite just getting boring now.” Ouch.
Now let’s raise a glass and recognize and salute the real MVPs: those with ready wallets. @KpopAndrew said it all: “Good 👍 my vbucks are ready.” Same, bro. Same. And @Maskless Mark is pushing hard for an “Alien Stage” next season, linking to a concept that slaps low-key.
What becomes of the verdict? Alien theme is likely going to be chosen; however, forever Epic does love to throw curveballs. Could we get Rick? Bugs? A surprise One Piece collab? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: The countdown is on, and mayhem is just beginning. Stay tuned, drop in, and maybe, just maybe, pray for no bug skins.
