Fortnite’s upcoming season could bring a superhero theme, with new skins, mythic abilities, and even a revamped Superman—plus rumors of pets and more exciting features.
A fresh wave of leaks suggests that Fortnite’s next season may be superhero-themed, though it probably won’t be a direct Marvel crossover like we’ve seen before. This rumor is coming from HYPEX, a well-known Fortnite leaker, who noted that the new season will drop around the anniversary of Chapter 1 Season 4—another superhero-heavy season.
Right now, Fortnite is in the middle of Galactic Battle, its biggest Star Wars collab yet. Fans are loving it overall, but there’s been some disappointment about lightsaber pickaxes being left out. While lightsabers have long existed in-game as powerful Mythic weapons, players were really hoping this would be the season they’d finally become usable as cosmetic items. Sadly, no such luck—Epic didn’t include any lightsabers in the battle pass or Item Shop.
What We Know About the Superhero Theme
According to HYPEX, here’s what’s fueling the superhero season speculation:
- Fortnite surveys recently included 18 original superhero skins, which could be battle pass content.
- A new Superman variant might arrive, possibly tied to James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film (set to release July 11).
- Superhero boons were found in the game files after the Star Wars update. The symbols match those seen in the survey skins.
- Some skins may have casual versions, hinting at secret identity looks, as pointed out by fellow leaker D3NNI_yt.
Pets Might Be Making a Return—In a Whole New Way
Another rumor that’s caught fire? Pets might be back, but this time not just as back bling.
Leakers ShiinaBR and HYPEX suggest that new pets would actually follow the player around as fully animated companions. While some players are hyped for the idea, others worry that these critters could clutter the screen during battles, making competitive play messier.
️ What’s Next for Fortnite?
With new themed content, possible mythic superhero powers, and even interactive pets, the future of Fortnite is looking loaded with surprises. The current Galactic Battle mini-season is still live, but if these leaks are anything to go by, Fortnite Chapter 5’s next season could take us from the stars straight into superhero territory.
