“Fortnite” Season 5 countdown is on. With just a few days until the new season begins, items from the game have started to appear in the real world.
Epic Games just officially teased Fortnite Season 5 on Facebook. The picture shows a Japanese Kitsune mask appearing under the cracks that have been popping up all over the game’s map. With only three days left until the season starts, many fans are theorizing that the next season will be time-travel themed. The rocket launch from a week ago tore a rift in space and time, spawning odd items like an anchor or horse and buggy around the map. Heavy speculators believe that these locations will be changed for the game’s fifth season.
To compliment the Season 5 hype, Epic Games has started an alternate-reality game that’s spitting Fortnite items in weird places. Over the weekend, photographer Sela Shiloni found the Durr Burger sign and a police car hanging out in the middle of the desert in Palmdale, Calif.
When other community members visited the site, they found “agents” at a tent handing out cards with phone numbers. Calling the number reveals a series of beeps and weird noises, which transform into messages when put into a spectrograph. The second number handed out revealed “C7,” the former location of the burger sign in Greasy Grove.
Early on Monday, reddit user everoris86 found a loot llama hanging out inside of a London telephone booth. Behind the llama is the bar Anchor and Crown, which some reddit users believe could allude to the anchor we saw dropping from a rift.

Some games have been more successful at using ARGs to tease upcoming content than others. Before the release of Sombra in Overwatch, small clues were revealed over the course of five months that culminated in the hero’s reveal at Blizzcon 2016. Fans (myself included) were annoyed at how long the game lasted, how little lore was actually introduced and that the only reward was a small pink skull spray given to every player.
Fans seem to be enjoying Fortnite’s ARG more, deciphering coordinates while they eagerly wait for the next clue. Epic Games has done a great job telling a story with their environment and I’m beyond excited to see…
