With the end of Chapter 7 Season 4 on the horizon, rumors had begun spreading regarding the theme of the upcoming Fortnite<\/em> mini-season. Beloved manga and anime series One Piece<\/em> was the most popular contender, especially after a mysterious pirate chest appeared on the island. Epic Games has begun putting up promotional posters, and the design suggests that the mini-season might just have a generic anime theme rather than being an exclusive One Piece<\/em> crossover.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fortnite<\/em> is celebrating Halloween for the entirety of October. The Fortnitemares event will come to an end in the early hours of Nov. 1, alongside Chapter 7 Season 4. This will make way for the annual mini-season, which will allow players to smoothly transition into Chapter 8.<\/p>\n With Nov. 1 approaching, teasers for the upcoming mini-season have started. A giant pirate treasure chest was hacked into the island, and it began to debug over the past few days, slowly unveiling its appearance. One Piece<\/em> was already speculated to be the mini-season’s theme, and this fueled fans’ hopes further. Not all teasers were virtual, though. Fortnite<\/em> posters started to appear on the subway in Madrid as early as Oct. 20. However, they weren’t what players expected.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Fortnite<\/em> posters in Madrid feature what appears to be generic, cell-shaded anime-style skins created by Epic Games. The first poster depicts a black-haired anime character and a treasure map with the caption “Have you seen the treasure?” on it. The second poster shows a turquoise-haired anime character, previously spotted in a skin survey, before cutting off to an image of sand with the words “Join the hunt.” Both posters include Fortnite<\/em>‘s pirate llama logo.<\/p>\n The fact that the posters don’t show any recognizable One Piece<\/em> characters isn’t a good sign for fans who were hoping to see Eiichiro Oda’s best-selling series making its way to Fortnite<\/em>. Although there’s still a chance that a collaboration could still be happening, it’s not as likely that this will be a full crossover season. Similar to Chapter 1 Season 8, which had the slogan “X marks the spot,” this might just be a pirate season.<\/p>\n Many fans would consider this a step-down from last year’s mini-season, which was a major Simpsons<\/em> event, featuring a map of Springfield and numerous themed cosmetics and weapons, but there is still hope that One Piece<\/em> will appear in the game.<\/p>\n\n Fortnite teases upcoming mini-season with posters in Madrid
