Fortnite
Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ are among Fortnite’s 2024 surprises
The content roadmap for standard Fortnite and its variants for 2024 has been leaked. It’s a very promising year for Battle Royale, Festival, LEGO Fortnite, and Rocket Racing.
An image that looks real and shows the roadmap for Fortnite, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival has been circulating on forums like 4chan since April 18. Although it is a leak for now, it seems reliable enough to be a real document, even if Epic Games’ plans may change and not everything proposed in this slide will be fulfilled.
Fortnite, LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing content for 2024 leaked
Several reputable dataminers in the Fortnite community, such as iFireMonkey, have picked up a screenshot of Fortnite content for 2024 that has been making the rounds on forums such as 4chan since April 18, 2024. The image in question is as follows:
This image is a faithful representation of everything that has been available so far in Fortnite’s different game modes: Battle Royale, Fortnite Festival, LEGO Fortnite, and Rocket Racing. But what makes it interesting is what it actually shows and what is supposedly coming for the rest of the year. To wit:
New Fortnite Battle Royale Content for 2024
- Chapter 5 Season 3 (May-August 2024): Apocalyptic theme. There will be collaborations with Fall Guys, Metallica, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
- Chapter 5 Season 4 (August-October 2024): Marvel-themed with The Fantastic 4 as the main characters and Doctor Doom as the villain.
- Fortnite: OG - Chapter 2 (November 2024): A new version focusing on Fortnite Chapter 2 Seasons 1, 2, and 3.
- Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (December 2024).
New LEGO Fortnite content in 2024
- New ‘Star Wars’ construction kits (May-June 2024)
- Klombos (July-August 2024)
- New update (September 2024)
- New Halloween Update (October-November 2024)
- New Winter Update (December 2024)
New Fortnite Festival Content for 2024
- Season 3: Billie Eilish (April-May 2024)
- Season 4: Metallica (June-August 2024)
- Season 5: Karol G (August-October 2024)
- Season 6: Snoop Dogg (October-December 2024)
New Rocket Racing content for 2024
- Season 2 (June-September 2024): volcanic theme
- Season 3 (September-November 2024): Celestial Theme
- Season 4 (December 2024)
As we commented above, although the document seems to be real, it wouldn’t be the first time Epic Games has changed its plans regarding its Fortnite content grid, either delaying or bringing forward the arrival of some collaborations. In any case, everything described here is in line with Epic’s stated intention to make Fortnite more than just a video game: a hub for different experiences such as Battle Royale, Creative, LEGO Fortnite, Festival, and Rocket Racing.
Some of the most outstanding content revealed in this infographic is the arrival of artists like Billie Eilish, Karol G, Metallica, and Snoop Dogg who would have outfits in the game. In Fortnite today, nothing is impossible and we have outfits of all kinds, including of course real world-class artists like Ariana Grande or J Balvin. Anyway, it was already known what were going to be some of the most important dates for 2024, such as the return of Fortnite: OG, a consequence of the record number of players during this month-long season that made the game map return to what it was between 2017 and 2019.
Anyway, there are a few days left for Epic Games itself to confirm or deny the content of this image; Fortnite Festival Season 2 with Lady Gaga as the main character ends on the 22nd of this month, so the announcement of the new one will occur with the patch next Tuesday, April 23, and then we will know if indeed Billie Eilish will be the new featured artist.
