A new Fortnite leak has revealed what is inside the massive sandstorm that has been approaching, and apparently, it contains a massive boat. This boat will reportedly be transporting next season’s villains into the island, and is also set to serve as a POI in the map for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.

Epic Games has established its name in creating a spectacle for every major event in Fortnite, and the ongoing episode in the game is no exception. The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 live event started with the iconic Zeus lightning and culminated by setting up the premise for the next season. As fans eagerly await what Chapter 5 Season 3 has in store for them, a series of leaks have given curious players a comprehensive overview of what they can expect.

A new tweet by popular Fortnite leaker PеQu gives an insight into the origin of the mysterious red lights fans have been seeing inside the sandstorm. The red lights are coming from a massive boat, which is apparently a Shark Ship according to the name of the files in-game. This ship will be bringing the next season’s NPCs into the island. Considering that the recent Fortnite teaser also showcased something similar, with the villain’s army heading outside through a vault that resembles shark jaws, it is extremely likely that this leak is credible.

A Shark Ship Could Be One Of Fortnite’s POI Next Season

That’s not all, as this new ship will also be serving as a Fortnite POI for next season, so players will probably be able to get on the boat at some point. Currently, the boat is reportedly designed to stay at a distance and players will not be able to get on it. This has been concluded from the fact that the model of the ship is made up of extremely low-quality assets, so it is probably not planned to get any closer for now. However, that will apparently change in the future.fortnite mount olympusfortnite lava handfortnite pandora's box sunkfortnite live event endfortnite zeusFans are quite excited about the event, and the prospect of a massive enemy ship has significantly raised the hype for it. Some leaks suggest that the ship will also be bringing huge waves with it. There is not much information about the consequences of these waves, but there is speculation that they could play a role in changing the terrain of the Fortnite map. With just a few days to go before the release of the new update, it remains to be seen what else Epic Games has in store for fans.
