For Season 6 of Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Xbox One, iOS, Android, Switch), the 2nd teaser has just been released. It shows a clear hint at a Western theme.
On Twitter, the developers at Epic showed the second teaser image for Season 6. It has become a tradition that shortly before the start of a new season, a new image is shown each day before officially revealing the theme and battle pass details.
What does the 2nd teaser show? Image number 2 shows a woman with a bandit mask and a cowboy hat. Additionally, a purple cube is again visible in the background. Most likely, the cowgirl is one of the available skins from the Battle Pass of Season 6.
What does this image mean?
Western after all? The “cowgirl” in the teaser image is clearly a hint for many fans towards the long-awaited Western theme. This was already predicted for Season 5, as various leaks from datamining had a Western reference.
In the end, however, it remained with the strange dimensional rift theme that dominated Season 5. Instead of cowboys and bandits, Vikings came.
Does Red Dead Redemption 2 have something to do with it? With the upcoming release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in October and the teaser image, it seems fairly certain that Epic will include the Western theme at least partially in Season 6.
There might even be a Western-themed game mode or perhaps a crossover event with Red Dead Redemption 2? We will probably learn more on September 27, when Season 6 officially begins.
How does this fit with the first image?
What about the llama DJ? The Western image does not fit at all with the futuristic llama DJ, who can be seen in the first teaser image for Season 6. On the other hand, Drift’s fox mask also did not match the Viking axe from the teasers for Season 5.
Time travel again? Perhaps the theme of Season 6 is really time travel and the llama guy ensures that various eras are mixed together again?
First a sprayer, then a DJ? The llama DJ might be the protagonist of Season 6, similar to how the sprayer Drift was in Season 5. Both guys wear strange animal masks, Drift with a fox, the DJ with a llama head. So there could be a connection.
It remains exciting until we know more on September 27.
