Fortnite Season 6 Was Predicted In Anonymous 4chan Leak Earlier This Month
By Ford James ·
Nearly a month ago, an anonymous 4chan user leaked Fortnite Season 6. Nearly everybody wrote it off as a troll, but it turns out he was somewhat correct.
4chan doesn’t have the best reputation, it’s safe to say. Every once in a while though, something glorious happens and that’s exactly what has happened here. Earlier this month, on September 9, an anonymous user posted to 4chan detailing what would allegedly happen in Fortnite Season 6. They got a few things wrong, but the most important thing - the Shadow Stones - they got almost spot on. We covered it here and you can check out the full leak in the image below.
The poster mentioned “crystals” - the term Shadow Stone could easily have not been conceived until recently - and how players can interact with them to go invisible. That’s exactly what the Shadow Stones do; you turn invisible and can run faster and jump higher. You take no fall damage and you can phase shift through walls. The anonymous leak says that you won’t be able to use your weapons which turned out to be true too, although his prediction of other players also being invisible turned out to be false.
He also says that the cube would approach Loot Lake and “absorb water”. Anyone paying attention to Fortnite last week will remember that’s exactly what happened. The cube slowly rolled round the docks at Loot Lake and into the water, before dissolving/absorbing the water and turning the entire lake purple for a short while. It also mentions that the areas around the runes left by the cube - previously with low gravity - would “grow”. They’ve done just that, with each area sprouting dead trees out of the ground and uneven terrain.
Finally, the leak mentions “dark versions” of skins. We saw in the final Road Trip loading screen for Season 5 that Brite Bomber saw a dark, alternate version of herself in the reflection. That skin hasn’t been released or announced officially yet, but it would make sense given the loading screen and this season’s theme of “Darkness Rises”. There’s a number of things the anonymous leaker got incorrect of course, but it’s safe to say that with the amount they got right, it wasn’t just a troll. Epic could easily have changed some of the leaked aspects after they saw that it had been leaked.
In other Fortnite Season 6 news, there’s been a number of leaked skins, emotes and other cosmetics. You can find them all here and if you’re looking for the new Shadow Stones, here’s where you can find them all.
