Fortnite Season 9 Teaser 3: New map rumors intensify as third image, letter revealed The third Fortnite Battle Royale Season 9 teaser has finally been released and players around the world are already picking it apart to find any hidden clues that Epic Games might have included. With today, May 8 2019, being the final day of Season 8, the third and final teaser was expected to be the biggest clue so far for what fans can expect when the v9.00 patch goes live on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile on May 9. The release for teaser image number three came at 15:00 BST (10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT) on May 8 and it didn\u2019t take long for fans to realize that it includes the letter \u2018O\u2019 \u2013 meaning that the three images combined spell \u2018NEO\u2019. For those of you that were expecting \u2018NEW\u2019, remember that \u2018neo\u2019 is actually a way of saying new and Google dictionary even describes it as \u201ca new or revived form\u201d of something. The Twitter caption for the image is \u201cThe Future is Tilted.\u201d and the character displayed on top of the \u2018O\u2019 appears to fit in with the futuristic theme. The purple character even seems to be displaying some sort map on his arm, although we\u2019re not entirely sure about that. What do we know about Season 9 so far? Before the May 8 teaser, the developers have given fans two major clues. The first teaser, released on May 6, was accompanied with the following caption: \u201cThe Future is Unknown.\u201d A blue image of a futuristic looking male character (with a rather cyborg-ish feel to him) was attached to the Twitter post and a large letter \u2018N\u2019 took up the majority of the background: The second Season 9 teaser image was released on May 7. This time the caption was almost identical, stating: \u201cThe Future is Bright.\u201d The image showed a similarly futuristic looking skin \u2013 perhaps a female marine or astronaut \u2013 on top of a pink letter \u2018E\u2019, which led many fans to speculate that the game\u2019s devs were beginning to spell out a particular word or clue. Given the capitalization of \u2018Unknown\u2019 and \u2018Bright\u2019 in the Twitter posts, one of our theories was that these are also specific clues towards the names of the characters that have been on display in the images so far. However, the \u2018Tilted\u2019 clue makes us think they could have something to do with points of interest on a potentially revamped map for areas like Tilted Towers that were recently destroyed. Will we get a whole new map for Season 9? Many believed that the final word would be \u2018NEW\u2019 as it would fit well with the idea of the future. Following the recent destruction of various points of interest after the volcano erupted, some players are even beginning to speculate that an entirely new map is on the cards! With the third and final teaser completing the spelling of \u2018NEO\u2019 instead of \u2018NEW\u2019 we\u2019re still pretty sure that SOMETHING is going to be overhauled and the \u2018Tilted\u2019 hint only adds to that. It\u2019s easy to understand why a huge amount of expectation is now being put on tomorrow\u2019s May 9 Season 9 update. Creative Director at Epic, Donald Mustard, made another cryptic Twitter post after the teaser was released, saying \u201cFrom the ashes, rise.\u201d If fans don\u2019t get an entirely overhauled Tilted Towers at the very least, we\u2019ll be shocked! If an entirely new map really is on the cards, the Season 9 patch will be the biggest, and perhaps most controversial, in the history of the game. What do we know about the Season 9 Battle Pass? Expect to see the Season 9 Battle Pass cost around the same amount as previous seasons, so somewhere in the 950 V-Bucks (~ $10) range. The Battle Pass gives you the chance to unlock a range of exclusive skins, emotes and other cosmetic items as you level up through all the tiers. The skins that have been hinted at in the teaser images are virtually guaranteed to be included in the Battle Pass. You\u2019ll also get the opportunity to complete Battle Pass challenges and, if previous seasons are anything to go by, unlock a mystery skin through a series of bonus challenges. This has been a staple of the Battle Pass for a number of seasons with the most recent coming in the form of the Season 8 Discovery challenges. We\u2019ll update this post as soon as we have more information and you can expect all of the Season 9 news as it happens when the patch goes live.
