In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Android, Switch & Xbox One) the Tomatohead from Tomato Town disappeared at the beginning of Season 5. Now he is back, albeit in another form.
The Tomatohead has always been a landmark of the Fortnite world. The cheerfully grinning tomato face was prominently displayed on the pizza restaurant in Tomato Town. But then Season 4 ended and the rifts appeared. One of the first victims was the cheerful Tomatohead. And unlike the Durrr Burger, the tomato face never appeared in the real world.
In the game itself, he was also gone, only a farewell message was still visible at his former location.
Tomatohead, but different
Dataminers predict the return of the Tomatohead: The dataminer @FNBRLeaks found something in the code of Fortnite last weekend that hints at the Tomatohead’s return. Allegedly, a tomato event would take place at midnight from August 19 to 20.
The Tomatohead is back: Indeed, a new rift formed over the now empty spot of the Tomatohead during the weekend. The Tomatohead appeared last Sunday (not at the predicted time).
Stone Tomato instead of Original: But whatever happened to the tomato face, it had changed. Instead of being large and red, the new version is made of stone, gray, and much smaller. One could almost think the tomato has rotted.
More tomato events predicted: Meanwhile, dataminers have noticed even more tomato events in the code. The next event is reportedly set to occur on August 27 at 8:00 PM according to the leak.
Are Tomatoheads a hint at the new plot? What the tomatoes are about is still completely unclear. Most likely, they have something to do with Fortnite’s next story.
Starting around Week 7, things heated up again in Season 4, and there were the rocket and events surrounding it. So, are we threatened with an attack of killer tomatoes in Season 5?
