Arr, mateys! Latest season 8 of Fortnite Battle Royale is just a few days away, developers of this season 8 - Epic Games are teasing a pirate theme. It makes sense – with the snow that’s been coated on the island for the last few months presumably sets to melt now because spring is almost here, there should be plenty of water around. Perfect for sailing and skulduggery.
Epic Game's tweet is a cryptic little poem that reads below:
‘X’ Marks The Spot
Treasure abound
Loot that has been lost
Can always be found
The mismatch in syllable count on the third line is really throwing me off, especially when they could have contracted it to “that’s” and fixed the problem, but I’m here for more rhyming teasers.
What exactly does this has to do with the earthquakes that have been rocking on the map recently is unclear? Maybe the new cracks in the ground will split or open, revealing an ocean ready for plundering.
The image posted alongside with the poem (which you can see up there in the header) also has a hint of fire if you ask me, which may well have to do with the presumed-dragon eggs that appeared under the Polar Peak last month. A dragons vs. pirates showdown would be quite a sight to see, though I also think that flammable ship hulls might give the dragons a distinct advantage.
All of our speculations will be put to rest one way or the other on February 28th, but until then, our guides team has everything else that you need to know about Fortnite Season 8 right here.
