Exciting news for Fortnite fans, Season 8 details have been leaked now! And if they are to be believed, the Season is going to be just fantastic. As we near the day when Operation: Sky Fire live event will bring Fortnite Season 7 to an explosive close, new information on what is to be expected next has surfaced.
With the news that several POIs will be destroyed in the final showdown between eh aliens and IOs of Season 7, players have been curious to know how they would be replaced. Leaks have revealed that POIs such as Misty Meadows and Dirty Docks are going to be destroyed. Fortnite leaker HYPEX has revealed that there might be a new Pyramid, Cubes, and Crash Site as POI/landmark. He also said that a Mummy skin was discovered, which supports the Pyramid POI claim.

Found something with @tonxim: We might get a Mummy skin in Season 8 (could be scrapped). It matches the theme of a POI coming in Season 8.
The POIs/Landmarks are (there's most likely more but these are the only ones that got leaked):
– Pyramid
– Cubes
– Crash Site— HYPEX (@HYPEX) August 18, 2021
HYPEX has also mentioned that a Cactus consumables collection will be introduced in the game; meaning that the area around the Pyramid POI would become a desert biome. As Season 8 will be running during Halloween, it will feature the yearly Fortnitemares event.
In addition, speculations of the Kevin the Cube will return to the game, having been MIA for quite a while. He is said to be returning during the Halloween event; might even play an important role in the new season!
Here's what's *publicly* known about Season 8 so far:
– Naruto & Explosive Mythic Kunais
– Possible Pyramid & Cactus consumables
– "The Sideways" monsters for Halloween
– Cube's return for Halloween + as a skin
– Flying animals that drop loot when shot (Might be for Season 9)— HYPEX (@HYPEX) September 5, 2021
Naruto Skin
And now for the juicy part, there is now evidence that Fortnite is going to feature a Naruto skin! Files that came to light in the Epic Games vs Apple lawsuit revealed a Naruto skin in Fortnite, and it has been the talk of the town since.
- It was also revealed in August 2021 that Epic has bought the rights to Naruto and will be introducing him soon in a Battle Pass. Recently, Twitter user Candywing ad a conversation with Donald Mustard, the CCO of Epic.
- Hints of new additions are being made to Season 8, and Cnadywing held a Livestream later, where they claimed that Naruto was definitely coming to Fortnite and that it would be exclusive to Chapter 2 Season 8 Battle Pass.
- Speculations of the Naruto skin would be a part of the set, with the skin, pickaxe, wrap, back bling, and emote.
Epic Games has successfully obtained the rights to Naruto and is now working on implementing the character into an upcoming Battle Pass. #Fortnite
