Fortnite has all the time labelled the totally different incarnations of its battle royale map as totally different “chapters” of the sport (that are then sub-divided into seasons). However this one, followers have observed, is being referred to as Chapter Seven, spelt out, quite than the same old Chapter 7 numbering.
Seven holds a giant significance in Fortnite lore (and fortunately no, it is nothing to do with the 6-7 meme). All through Fortnite’s first 5 years, The Seven had been slowly revealed as a heroic crew of characters who defended the sport’s multiverse, and who led the cost throughout the recreation’s large story occasions (such because the one the place the unique Chapter 1 Island obtained sucked right into a black gap).
Over time, The Seven’s helmeted heroes had been revealed to embody characters performed by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Brie Larsen, although after Chapter 3’s grand finale, the crew’s story was abruptly concluded, with their members seemingly defeated and dispursed. More moderen Chapters have acted as one thing of a reset of the sport’s narrative, following the departure of Epic Video games’ earlier inventive lead Donald Mustard, although followers have lengthy held out hope of seeing The Seven as soon as once more. In a Chapter named after them, certainly it is lastly time?
Individually, quite a few Fortnite leakers have claimed that the Chapter Seven map will embody a big desert biome, with point out of an “Space 51” type location. FortniteLeaks, in the meantime, has particularly reported that the sport will function a weapon known as the Gambler Shotgun — “which is said to one of many main themes of the map.”
Now, followers are placing two and two collectively and arriving on the concept of Chapter Seven that includes a Nevada-style location, and have prompt a crossover with one other upcoming franchise: Fallout. The sport has already featured Fallout within the form of an outfit sporting the franchise’s energy swimsuit. However with new episodes of the Fallout TV sequence scheduled to debut from December 17, followers have puzzled whether or not a bigger collaboration can be now on the playing cards.
Till then, there’s three weeks left of Fortnite’s actually very fulfilling The Simpsons period to get pleasure from, earlier than a giant dwell occasion on November 29 that is anticipated to usher in Chapter Seven — and no matter it holds — in type.
