In Fortnite: Battle Royale, some aliens are set to appear on the map for the next Season 7. Now, the first hints of the actual existence of the extraterrestrials can be found in the game. Are they coming to the game soon?
This was discovered: When exploring the Season 6 map, a crop circle that was likely created by aliens can now be found. The crop circle is located at Colossal Crops, after a cornfield there was completely removed a few days ago. Instead, a depiction with various patterns that cannot yet be identified can now be found there.
Depending on the distance, the crop circle can be seen from afar while still in the air. Here is what the new crop circle looks like:
Dataminers had already found several hints that UFOs and aliens will soon be on the map. However, it was still uncertain whether they would appear at the start of the new Season 7. But now the first traces of their existence can already be seen in the game – could the encounter be closer than expected?
Will we soon see the first UFO?
How might things progress with the aliens? So far, this crop circle is the first “official” hint that aliens will soon move into Fortnite, but it may not be the last circle. There are still other cornfields at Colossal Crops that have been flattened – it is possible that crop circles will appear there too before the aliens reveal themselves.
Dataminer HYPEX believes that the first UFO could appear in the game today. The leaker says that there is nothing else in the data that could be activated except for the UFOs. Since updates typically occur on Tuesdays, he thinks that the first UFO might be activated today (via Twitter).
What the UFOs are supposed to do and be capable of has also been found by the dataminer and posted on Twitter:
According to the dataminers, these UFOs will simply appear, abduct players or even entire teams, and then release them at a random location with full health points. Now that the first clue has surfaced, it is quite possible that a UFO is hovering around – but keep in mind that activation has not yet been officially confirmed, and it is still unclear how often the aliens will actually appear.
Since we now know that the aliens are out there somewhere, you should keep your eyes open in case a UFO suddenly appears in the sky. Maybe you can actually see the first UFO today. It won’t be long before Season 6 comes to an end.
