Fortnite season 9 - The new Battle Pass looks to have a futuristic theme FORTNITE SEASON 9 - WILL THERE BE A NEW MAP? WHAT DOES THE FORTNITE NEO TEASER MEAN? In the lead-up to the Fortnite season 9 release date Epic Games has been revealing teasers on Twitter. In total three Fortnite season 9 teasers have been released, each one showing an upcoming new Fortnite season 9 skin. Emblazoned on each Fortnite season 9 teaser was a letter, with all the letters spelling out the word ‘neo’. This means “new or recent, or in a modern form”, according to the Cambridge Dictionary. Fortnite season 9 - It's rumoured a new map could be coming to Battle Royale The messages posted alongside these teasers hint that Fortnite season 9 will have a futuristic theme, which could be seen in new POIs or a fresh map. The most recent and final Fortnite season 9 teaser was posted on Twitter alongside the message: “The Future is Tilted.” Other Fortnite season 9 teasers said “The Future is Bright” and “The Future is Unknown”. At the moment there are two theories as to what this could all mean for Fortnite season 9. Fortnite season 9 - The Fortnite season 9 teasers spell out the word neo One theory is that Tilted Towers is about to get replaced with a futuristic version of the popular POI. Alternatively, maybe Tilted Towers will turn into the gateway for a brand new map that will replace the current one. Epic Games has long said that they have new Fortnite maps in the works. Fortnite season 9 - What role will Tilted Towers play in the new Battle Pass? Answering the question “will you add more maps” in a post online, the Fortnite makers said: “Yes, but not right away. “Currently, we’ll continue making improvements to our existing map, including adding more points of interest.” This FAQ answer has appeared online for most of 2018 and for all of 2019 so far, so maybe the time has finally come for one of these new maps to get added? Fortnite season 9 - Will The Gateway dimension play a part in the start of the new season? FORTNITE SEASON 9 - ALL SOUNDS GREAT, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW? There is one other surprise feature that could launch during Fortnite season 9. Fans have long heard rumours of a Fortnite leviathan or kraken creature appearing on the Battle Royale map. And maybe the murmurs about these creatures are tied into another rumour - that boss battles are getting added to Fortnite. Epic Games previously tested having an iceberg with a huge amount of health that players had to bring down to zero HP. Fortnite season 9 - Is this what one of the new Fortnite skins will look like in full?<doc-sep>
Fortnite Season 9 teasers have officially ended after the third of three images was revealed Wednesday morning. According to Epic's latest hint, it sounds like a remodeled version of Tilted Towers may be on the way. Just like the previous two Season 9 teasers, this one features a slogan about the future and shows off another presumed Season 9 Battle Pass skin. This time, Epic says "the future is Tilted," which has pretty strong implications for those who were saddened by the destruction of Tilted Towers this weekend. If the future truly is Tilted, the inference to be made is that the popular point of interest might soon be transformed into a futuristic cityscape. What does neo mean? Another key detail in reference to this theme is the reveal of the word "neo" spread across the graphics of the three days of teasers. For those who don't know, neo is a prefix meaning "new." It's often used to describe futuristic elements. Neoclassical style for example, refers to a more futuristic take on classic elements. With regard to Fortnite , the phrase neo could simply refer to the new Season 9 map or possibly hint at a mix of both new and familiar elements. For those who missed the previous two teasers, they also featured slogans like "the future is bright" and "the future is unknown." These phrases might also refer to new locations as well, like a revised Sunny Steps and something totally unique, for example. We'll have a lot more to say about Fortnite Season 9 once the game's 9.0 update goes live Thursday morning. Fortnite is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and mobile. Season 9 is expected to begin May 9. What are your thoughts on the Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass after seeing all three teasers? Do any of the skins impress you? Tell us in the comments section!
