Is Fortnite already teasing Season 5?

Fortnite players have encountered countdown clocks, red skulls, villain bases and more for a few days now. So, is Epic teasing Season 5 of Fortnite?

With the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite being released, players noticed a countdown clock shown on in-game TVs in red letters. And this only appeared on the Switch version. This led to players assuming it’s pointing to the game’s v4.4 patch.

The patch had nothing game-changing. Around the same time, other versions of Fortnite (PC, PS4, Xbox One) started showing a red skull that has a similar colour and visual style to the countdown on Switch.

The skull looks similar to the villain lair on the side of the mountain near Snobby Shores. If you visit this Evil Lair, you’ll find a hologram of a missile hitting the map.

With the arrival of the new patch, a new countdown clock has been introduced, which players believe is related to this Evil Lair.

According to dataminers @TwoEpicBuddies, the in-game code suggests players will be the ones to initiate a missile launch.

Epic previously used in-game televisions to tease upcoming changes or events, and it’s very possible the same is being done now to hype up the launch of Season 5 later this month.
