Ninja teases possible announcement with cryptic Tweet

Popular Twitch streamer and Fortnite player Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins may have hinted at a major announcement, thanks to a vague Tweet posted on February 2.

Original story as follows:

Ninja kept his message short, simply writing, “Big day today! :D” – much to his fans’ confusion.

Even popular streamer Timothy ‘TimTheTatMan’ Betar got in on the speculation, replying to Ninja’s Tweet with the “👀” emoji.

It is also worth noting that neither Tim nor Ninja are streaming today, which could indicate that both streamers are focusing on another, more secretive pursuit in the interim.
