Fortnite Jerky event coming soon? Everything we know Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 2\u2019s next major in-game event might have been leaked ahead of schedule and its provisional name might be the weirdest of all time \u2013 Jerky. Epic Games won\u2019t have been too happy to see #RipFortnite trending worldwide on April 12, with players claiming that the game has become stale in recent times. However, one thing is for sure \u2013 events usually have players coming back in droves. Following the rollout of the v12.40 update on April 15, data miners were hard at work looking for different skins, cosmetics and other items, although Lucas7yoshi might well have stumbled upon a hint for something big coming soon. When is Fortnite\u2019s Jerky event starting? The next in-game event has not yet been confirmed by Epic Games, leaving the door wide open for when the next one will take place. Recently, Epic have been working on some crossover content with Marvel, which has seen a Deadpool themed Yacht arrive, not to mention a whole host of cosmetics as well. Fans will be hoping for more of that should Jerky materialize. Fortnite Jerky event leaks As ever with leaked material, it\u2019s best to take it with a pinch of salt until we see their contents arrive in-game, although Lucas7yoshi has proven to be one of the most reliable around when it comes to Fortnite. On April 15, the data miner revealed everything they know so far, but it\u2019s admittedly light on information. They posted: An event currently just called \u201cJerky\u201d is in the works, relevant to previous tweet. The playlist used for The End, Marshmello, etc was modfied with the name Jerky.\u201d On top of that, they also revealed a description, which stated: \u201cThere\u2019s no score before the event. Hang out and have fun before the event starts.\u201d MASSIVE: An event currently just called \u201cJerky\u201d is in the works, relavant to previous tweet The playlist used for, the end, marshmello, etc was modified with the name \u201cJerky\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s no goal score before the event. Hang out and have fun before the event starts.\u201d \u2014 Lucas7yoshi \/\/ leeaks (@Lucas7yoshi) April 15, 2020 That\u2019s not all, either. The leaker also posted what appears to be code that will eventually shake the sky in Fortnite. A file called \u2018BP_SkyJerk\u2019 was added to the events folder, which could be another hint for what\u2019s to come. What could the event include? With previous event files having also changed to \u201cJerky\u201d, the likelihood of that being an official event name is unlikely. However, it does put \u2013 whatever this might be \u2013 in the same standing. Moving onto possible theories for what the event could include, there are a few options. Fortnite\u2019s been dropping a series of hints towards a Doomsday event of some kind, with multiple clues having been found across the map so far. These include hatches, changes to in-game menus, and more. Aside from that, there\u2019s also a potentially more fitting possibility in that this could finally be the Travis Scott event, or concert, players have been expecting to see land in-game for some time. Previously, leaked images were revealed for a potential Travis Scott skin, sparking rumors that the American rapper could follow in the footsteps of Marshmello by hosting a concert at one of Fortnite\u2019s locations. Last time it was Pleasant Park, which still features on the island, despite all of the changes in Chapter 2. The leaked Travis skin was revealed by HYPEX, another data miner. This is MOST LIKELY the leaked Travis Scott skin, i’m still asking the source about where he found it.. pic.twitter.com\/CZzS6USCdb \u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) March 17, 2020 While both of these suggestions are obvious possibilities for the Jerky event, nobody really knows what Epic Games has in store for us in the coming weeks. Until plans are made public, fans will have to sit back, wait around a little longer, and hope it\u2019s something exciting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
