During the holiday season of 2018,Fortniteintroduced planes to the battle royale. While some fans weren’t happy with theFortniteplanes, feeling as though they upset the game’s balance, others enjoyed the dynamic they added to the game, and were sad to see them go. Epic Games vaultedFortnite’s planes all the way back in Chapter 1 Season 8, but now it appears as though they may be making a comeback.
According to the latestFortniteleak, planes will be coming back to the battle royale game. Whether or not they will be exactly like they were in their previous appearance or if there will be some changes remains to be seen. It’s also possible that Epic Games won’t necessarily bringFortniteplanesback, so fans should keep their expectations in check until an official announcement is made by the company.

FortniteSeason 5 is adding all sorts of new content to the game regularly, though most of it has been focused on other franchises. The theme forFortniteSeason 5 is “hunters,” which Agent Jones recruiting all kinds of “hunters” from different fictional universes. Things started off with The Mandalorian from the Disney+ series of the same name, and then continued withKratos fromGod of War, and then Master Chief fromHalo.
Master Chief’s debut inFortnitecame with more than just a skin and other cosmetic items, though. It also saw the famousHalomultiplayer map Blood Gulchadded toFortnite’s Creative Mode. It will be interesting to see if other futureFortnitecrossover events happening as part of Season 5 include some more substantial content updates like this or not.
Meanwhile, the nextFortnitecrossover was confirmed at The Game Awards 2020. As it so happens,Fortniteis crossing over with AMC’sThe Walking Dead, with popular characters Daryl Dixon and Michonne making their way to the battle royale. As for potential futureFortnitecrossover characters, rumors are swirling that Samus Aran fromMetroidmay be coming toFortnite, as well as the Predator from the famous sci-fi horror series.
HopefullyFortnitefans get official confirmation about this rumored content sooner rather than later. It would be nice to know if fans can expect these skins to come to the game so they can put aside someV-Bucks, and it would also be nice to know if the somewhat divisive planes are coming back to the battle royale map or not.
Fortniteis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
