As for what it all means, well, you’re guess is as good as ours. There’s speculation that some of the teaser images have been in reference to Season 4, specifically the Carbide symbol from the Hero mansion as well as the rocket int he villain’s lair. Some believe there could be a connection between Chapter 2 Season 2 and Chapter 1 Season 4.
While the exact details of Fortnite Chapter 2 – Season 2 remain a mystery, one thing we can be sure of is a new Battle Pass filled with fun cosmetics and, most likely, a slight rework of the map. Expect some new locations, themes and mysteries. It’s also possible that the move to Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics system could result in new gameplay mechanics or, at the very least, some more extravagant destructible environments.
