Five Nights at Freddy’s collab

For several months, one of the most reported and discussed collaborations in Fortnite was with the Five Nights at Freddy’s series. Several leakers and data miners predicted the collaboration to occur at the start of the current season.

However, the collaboration is now believed to drop with the 30.40 update, as the tenth anniversary of the original FNAF game is this week. In addition, the game’s creator stated on a podcast that they are expanding into collaborations to preserve the brand, which leakers anticipate will happen with Fortnite.

Rubius Icon Series skin

Top Spanish YouTuber Rubius dropped a teaser on his social media accounts, hinting towards a possible collaboration with Fortnite as an Icon Series skin.

However, no such leaks have been found yet in the files, still, fans are hopeful to get a glimpse at his skin once the update is dropped.

Minigun Return & more unvaults

For several weeks, it has been speculated that Minigun will be unvaulted in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. When the official season gameplay trailer was released, players saw the minigun, but it was not yet available in the game.

With the next 30.40 update, the minigun may finally appear, providing players with another weapon to combat the island’s OP Nitro cars.

Chapter 5 Season 4 Marvel leaks

According to the leaked roadmap, users believe the forthcoming Fortnite season will be Marvel-themed, and other leaks support this theory. With the revelation of RDJ’s return to Marvel as Dr. Doom, the big bad evil himself might play an important part in the upcoming Fortnite season.

With the Stark Beacons also surfacing on the Chapter 5 Season 3 island, players are hopeful that their favorite heroes will return after four years and that they will finally be able to enjoy some Marvel-themed action again.
