In Fortnite: Battle Royale the 2nd teaser for Season 9 has appeared. It shows a woman with a futuristic helmet and a letter. Therefore, fans are currently speculating about which word Epic wants to convey.
What does the 2nd teaser for Season 9 show? A teaser for Season 9 has surfaced again on Twitter. This time, a woman with a helmet can be seen. She appears positive and confident.
This time the inscription reads “The Future is bright”, which translates to “The future is bright”. This contrasts with “The Future is Unknown” from the 1st teaser.
Who is the woman with the helmet? As is customary in Fortnite, the helmet wearer is likely to be one of the new skins. The helmet somewhat resembles the following characters from other games and pop culture franchises:
- The Doom Marine has a similar helmet
- The same goes for the helmet of Capcom character Mega Man
- The helmets of Antman and Wasp from the Marvel Universe also look somewhat similar to the helmet in the game.
What else can be seen? The most exciting detail in the teaser is that it likely contains a letter. The background seems to transition into a large “E”.
Against this background, it also becomes apparent that the first teaser, with a bit of imagination, showed a large “N”. Thus, both teasers in chronological order form an “NE”.
Therefore, many fans on Reddit have already sifted through dictionaries and relevant databases, finding all sorts of words that start with “NE” and have 3 or 4 letters.
Since Season 9 is coming on Thursday, a maximum of 4 teasers are expected to emerge, which would correspond to 4 letters. The most prominent words currently are:
- New
- Near
- Next
Many fans also suspect that the word can be connected to the previously used phrase “The Future is …”, which probably speaks the most for Near. This would mean, “The future is near!”.
Others, however, believe that the map is entirely new, meaning “new”, or that a new map will come.
A jokester on Twitter speculates the word “NERF” and specifically refers to the controversial return of the drum gun.
What is the theme of Season 9? All this talk of the future reinforces the theory that Season 9 will have a futuristic and science fiction theme. Perhaps the two recently destroyed places Tilted Towers and Retail Row will then be rebuilt as futuristic metropolises.
