Fortnite Legends of the Games season could bring Sonic and Mega Man, according to leaks
A new wave of information circulating on the internet suggests that Season 4 of Chapter 7 of Fortnite will have “Legends of Games” as its main theme. According to recently revealed data, extracted from the game’s internal files, this season will bring iconic characters such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man, Mega Man and other figures from the gaming universe to the popular Battle Royale. The leak points to a significant expansion of the title’s crossover cast.
Less than a year after completing a decade since its launch, Fortnite is approaching the completion of its seventh chapter and has already accumulated 41 seasons. Currently, players are immersed in Chapter 7, Season 3, known as “Corridors”.
The current phase of the game introduced new sprite-based mechanics, a special appearance by the character John Wick and a set of new weapons. Ahead of its conclusion in the coming weeks, this season is also adding new visuals inspired by “Spider-Man: A New Day.”
Still without official confirmation, the 4th season of Chapter 7 of Fortnite could, in fact, have ‘game legends’ as its central focus.
Well-known leakers in the Fortnite community, ShiinaBR and HYPEX, recently examined the encrypted files that were included in the game’s latest update. In posts on social media, the duo assures that they have found substantial evidence that the next season will be the long-awaited “Legends of the Games”.
According to HYPEX, Sonic the Hedgehog-themed posters will begin appearing on the Fortnite island in the coming weeks, serving as teasers for the theme of the Battle Royale’s new season.
When the “Legends of Games” season launches in Fortnite, the expectation is that it will feature a wide range of collaborations with various game franchises. According to the extracted files, these crossovers would include Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Tetris and Persona, in addition to other unspecified intellectual properties. The presence of these classic characters promises great appeal to the gaming community, reinforcing Epic Games’ strategy of integrating figures from different universes.
The exact form of these collaborations has not yet been detailed, but it is very likely that fans will receive game-themed skins in the next Fortnite Battle Pass. Additionally, map modifications inspired by the aforementioned franchises can also be implemented.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 is scheduled to end on August 19th. While the usual server maintenance is expected to occur after the season ends, Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 is expected to begin on the same day.
Before the release, fans can expect the release of some type of teaser trailer for the new season. This material should provide official confirmation as to whether the theme will really focus on game icons.
Over almost nine years, Fortnite has established several partnerships with franchises in the world of video games. Names like Alan Wake, Cyberpunk 2077, Arcane, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, The Witcher, Destiny, Overwatch, Doom, Assassin’s Creed, Halo and even Dave the Diver have already been present in Fortnite at different times.
So far, there is no information about the possible return of any of these past collaborations in the speculated “Legends of the Games” season.
However, for many players, it would be very positive to see skins like Ezio Auditore, Chris Redfield and Aloy available again in the Fortnite Item Shop next season, considering that these options have not appeared for over 1,000 days in the game.
