Fortnite Season 8 Teaser 3 Continues The Pirate Theme

Epic Games has dropped another teaser for Fortnite Season 8. In keeping with the previous two, this one comes in the form of a short, cryptic poem, which is accompanied by an image that offers a peek at what is presumably a new skin coming in the new season.

“Awaken beasts / Of fire and ash / Battle it out / And loot the stash,” the poem reads, further reinforcing the pirate theme hinted at in Epic’s previous Season 8 teasers. The accompanying image, meanwhile, features a fearsome-looking tiger head in the background–presumably part of a new skin the developer is introducing to the game.

The previous two teasers thus far have suggested Season 8 will have a pirate theme, with references to treasure and “those who arrive on the waves,” although it’s unclear how this will translate to gameplay. Interestingly, when all of the teasers are combined, they form one large image of a skull, as pointed out below.

Epic has confirmed that Season 8’s start date is February 28, which means you have until then to complete any remaining Season 7 challenges. As an added incentive to do so, the developer is giving the Season 8 Battle Pass for free to players who finish Season 7’s Overtime challenges. The Battle Pass typically costs 950 V-Bucks, so this is a good opportunity to get it without have to spend any money.

In the lead up to Season 8, earthquakes have been occurring in the game. These first started following the release of Fortnite’s 7.30 update, and they’ve been growing in intensity since, so much so that cracks are now appearing in the island. What this portends for next season remains to be seen, but it’ll presumably lead to some significant changes to the map.
