If a new round of leaks is to be believed, Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 will be themed around “Gaming Legends.” According to these recent datamines, Fortnite‘s rumored Gaming Legends season will bring characters from Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man, Mega Man, and more to the beloved Battle Royale.
About to turn nine years old, Fortnite is currently nearing the end of its seventh chapter, and is in its 41st season overall. Jumping into Fortnite today will throw players in the midst of Chapter 7 Season 3. Titled ‘Runners’, this current Fortnite season added new Sprite-based mechanics, a new John Wick crossover, and a bevy of new weapons. Ahead of its conclusion in a few weeks’ time, Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 is adding new skins inspired by Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Could Be Based on ‘Gaming Legends’
Well-known Fortnite leakers ShiinaBR and HYPEX recently dug into the encrypted files found within Fortnite‘s latest update. In the leakers’ recent social media posts, the duo claim to have found overwhelming evidence that Fortnite‘s next season will, in fact, be the long-rumored ‘Gaming Legends’ season. According to HYPEX, in the coming weeks, in-game posters themed around Sonic the Hedgehog will begin to appear on Fortnite‘s Battle Royale island, teasing the upcoming season’s theme.

When Fortnite‘s Gaming Legends season does arrive, it’s said to bring with it an extensive set of gaming-themed crossovers. According to these recently datamined files, these crossovers include Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Tetris, and Persona, along with other franchises that aren’t named. It’s currently unclear what form these crossovers could take, but it’s very likely that fans will get some gaming-themed skins in Fortnite‘s next Battle Pass, along with some map changes inspired by the listed franchises.

As things currently stand, Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 is set to end on August 19. While there will likely be the usual server downtime following the season’s conclusion, Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 should start on the same day. Before then, fans can expect to see some kind of teaser trailer for the new season, where they’ll get official confirmation if it’ll revolve around gaming icons or not.
Fortnite has collaborated with a wealth of video game franchises over the last nine years. Alan Wake, Cyberpunk 2077, Arcane, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, The Witcher, Destiny, Overwatch, Doom, Assassin’s Creed, Halo, and even Dave the Diver are all just some of the games that have appeared in Fortnite at one point or another. It’s currently unclear if any of these past collaborations will rear their head once again in the rumored Gaming Legends season. That said, it would be great to see skins like Ezio Auditore, Chris Redfield, and Aloy come back to the Fortnite Item Shop during this next season, with all three having not been seen in over 1,000 days.
