The new season hype!
Epic Games has officially started hyping up the new Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 and its first teaser has already become the talk of the internet.
The upcoming season is titled, ‘Runners,’ which received its first promotional artwork ahead of the launch and has revealed some subtle clues about the new additions. Let’s check out some more details in this article.
Dark Voyage Sprite teased in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 artwork
The first teaser for the new season showcases the new logo, Runners. However, there is something hidden in the artwork and it appears to be a Dark Voyager-themed Sprite.
Many fans and players believe that this might be the return of the unique companion creatures.
Sprite first made his debut in Chapter 6 and quickly became a popular gameplay feature, all due to the special buffs and abilities they provided.
Players were able to interact with Sprites to gain unique advantages during the matches. This made them quite an important part of the match strategy.
Now, for the new season, Epic Games can expand this mechanic and introduce special variants. They were removed at the start of Chapter 7, but the new hints may suggest their return once again.
