Fortnite Season 8 teaser images contain more clues than you might expect

Epic Games have begun teasing showing what appeared to be a pirate hook on a red background. However, eagle-eyed fans quickly saw through the original image and realized it was part of a bigger overall puzzle.

Combined with hints about hidden treasure, ‘X’ marks the spot and bananas – many fans have made the assumption that Season 8 will have some sort of Pirate theme to it. That belief only grew with the release of the second teaser.

Fortnite’s worldwide creative director, Donald Mustard, quote-tweeted the new teaser with an egg emoji as his reaction – seemingly hinting at the eggs which had been discovered under the Castle at Polar Peak in Season 7.

Many fans initially speculated that the eggs would, in some way, be related to Dragons but that was never confirmed.
