Fortnite Leak Teases Return of Fan Favorite Characters

A popular Fortnite leaker has surprised players by revealing that The Seven will be returning to Epic Games’ popular battle royale during Chapter 7. The fan favorite characters have been present since the early days of Fortnite, with The Visitor arriving on the island first as part of the battle pass for Chapter 1 Season 4.

While Epic Games is preparing to launch Chapter 7 at the end of November, players can currently jump into Fortnite‘s Simpsons mini-season, which features an extensive collaboration with the popular television show. After dropping onto a fully cel-shaded map with an art style inspired by The Simpsons, gamers can collect unique weapons and items like Mr. Blasty, the Five Gun, and more. Players even have to contend with donut storms on the map, which can be more hazardous than the name implies. Some people have already expressed that they will be sad to see the collaboration with The Simpsons end, but it seems as if Epic Games has some big plans to keep players coming back for more.

The Seven Will Return to Fortnite in Chapter 7

In a recent post on Twitter, the prominent leaker HYPEX revealed that The Seven will be returning to Fortnite during Chapter 7. This is big news for players who enjoy following along with the popular battle royale’s winding story, as The Seven have been present since Chapter 1. In fact, Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson even played The Foundation in Fortnite, giving the character a major presence in the game’s story. After taking on the role of The Foundation, the NFL even jokingly referred to Johnson as the “guy from Fortnite” in a YouTube video. Many fans are already asking if Johnson will reprise the role during Chapter 7.

With Chapter 6 coming to a close soon, the internet has been abuzz with rumors about what players can expect to see in-game with the launch of Chapter 7 of Fortnite. Some leakers have claimed that Epic Games is planning to add a way to self-revive in the battle royale, which would be a first. Rumors have also suggested that players will be able to drive reboot vans around the map, potentially impacting the flow of a match. However, it’s worth taking such rumors with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made.

While many gamers are looking forward to seeing what Epic Games has planned for Chapter 7, players still have time to jump into Fortnite‘s Party Up Winter Rush event. Fans have until November 29 to group up with friends and earn XP in a wide variety of game modes like Delulu, Blitz Royale, Reload, and more. Gamers who take advantage of this opportunity will be rewarded with free cosmetics, including a skin that puts a new twist on Cuddle Team Leader. With so much content to enjoy and even more just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
