New Cosmetics and Companions in Fortnite
Fortnite has always been known for its innovative approach to the battle royale genre, constantly introducing new weapons, challenges, and cosmetic items that allow players to personalize their experience. Recently, a leak has revealed exciting new cosmetics related to a feature called “companions,” which is expected to add a fresh layer of interaction and fun to the game.
Companions are rumored to be pet-like characters that can accompany players during matches. However, they are not visible to other players, ensuring that the battlefield remains uncluttered. Unlike the Grogu cosmetic released last year, which was essentially a backpack accessory, these companions are expected to have more interactive elements. It’s still unclear whether they will serve additional functions within the game, especially if they are based on popular characters from future crossovers.
According to a recent report by leaker Loolo, the companions feature could bring special items to Battle Royale. These items might include wearable outfits, accessories, and even cute emotes. Additionally, the leaker mentioned that these items could be used in upcoming companion mini-games, offering players a different kind of gameplay experience. Players may also have the ability to feed, brush, and pet their companions, allowing them to spend time with them outside of combat scenarios.
Loolo further clarified that rumors about pets reviving players were false. If the leak is accurate, this suggests that the companions will be more interactive than the Grogu Back Bling, which was a simple accessory.
When Will Fortnite Release Its Rumored Companions?
The new companions feature is expected to launch during Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, which is set to release on August 8. However, the game has not officially confirmed the new features that will come with the next update, so it’s possible that companions may or may not arrive in the coming weeks.
Currently, Fortnite is in the middle of Chapter 6 Season 3, which includes a special Superman crossover to coincide with the premiere of the DC film. Fans are eager to see Krypto, the Superdog, as a character they can interact with, rather than just as a powerful summon during matches. This addition would certainly be a welcome change for players who enjoy using the Superman skin.
In addition to new features, Fortnite is reportedly bringing back past crossovers, giving more players the chance to experience them. According to reports, Marvel’s Nexus War collaboration could return to Fortnite OG sometime in 2026 or 2027. This could include remixed versions of old Fortnite skins, providing a nostalgic twist for long-time players.
As the game continues to evolve, it’s clear that Fortnite is committed to keeping its player base engaged with fresh content and creative ideas. Whether through new cosmetics, interactive companions, or returning crossovers, the game shows no signs of slowing down. Fans around the world are eagerly waiting to see what comes next in the ever-expanding world of Fortnite.
