Footage shows an area themed around Sonic&#8217;s iconic Green Hill Zone, and Peely the banana dashing through it, Sonic-style. Presumably there will be some new Sonic movement item, granting super speed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This new \u201cFortnite\u201d Zone feels oddly familiar\u2026 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YbJS7or8rU\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/YbJS7or8rU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sonic the Hedgehog (@sonic_hedgehog) August 10, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Eagle-eyed Fortnite fans will spot that the teaser opens with the logo for the Imagined Order (IO) \u2014 the game&#8217;s original bad guys, led by Geno, Fortnite&#8217;s overall Big Bad who&#8217;s now playing a key part in the game&#8217;s storyline (voiced by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33&#8217;s Ben Starr). The suggestion here is that the IO are hacking reality and inserting video game characters into Fortnite&#8217;s universe&#8230; for reasons that are yet to become clear.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Fortnite is currently wrapping up its very enjoyable Runners season which has focused on the collection of Pok\u00e9mon-like Sprites. These little creatures have proven so popular that Epic Games has now confirmed that the mechanic is sticking around, with a new generation of Sprites on the way. All Sprites collected this season, meanwhile, will be saved in a Sprite Garden for each player \u2014 which sounds absolutely nothing like a Chao Garden, honest.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The next season of Fortnite is expected to arrive on August 19. We&#8217;ll likely get confirmation of more big video game crossovers in the days to come (and potentially word of Kingdom Hearts at D23 Expo this weekend.)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
