Summary
Epic Games co-founder Mark Rein has revealed an interesting hint for the nextFortniteseason, dropping the word “Nitro” when a fan asked him to describe it. This is not the first time that Mark has teased fans, as he is well-known for giving mysterious clues in the past as well right before the start of a newFortniteseason.
Fortniteevents are always no less than a spectacle for fans, and thelive event leading up to Chapter 5 Season 3didn’t disappoint as well. From showcasing the real power of Zeus to the strange disappearance of Pandora’s Box in the Styx River, the event managed to build the right amount of hype for the upcoming season. As fans await more details about the release of Chapter 5 Season 3, Epic Games has dropped yet another interesting piece of information about the update.
In a new tweet, Vice President and Co-Founder of Epic Games Mark Rein further added to the ambiguity around the theme of the next season by giving fans an interesting clue. When asked by a fan to give a word to the upcoming season, Mark replied with the word “Nitro.” Considering what leaks have suggested so far, this is not really a surprising word to see, as rumors about apost-apocalyptic themedFortniteseasonhave been making rounds for quite a while now.
In fact more than just the theme, thepreviously leakedFortniteroadmaphad suggested that aMad Maxcollaboration could be on the cards. As highlighted by a couple of fans, nitro is a pretty common term in theMad Maxfranchise, used multiple times for the speed boost mechanic cars get. Precisely, nitro is a short term for nitrous oxide, which is used in an internal combustion engine to provide more oxygen to the engine. This causes the horsepower of cars to increase, giving it a speed boost.
Fans are already debating what this hint could entail, with a few even suggesting that tying it in with theMad Maxcollaboration could be a stretch, as it could simply be referring to an item for cars. The fact that Mark had revealed the word “Wings” for the last season, which ended up being a reference toFortnite’sWings of Icarus, further consolidates this theory that it could be a mere mechanic which Mark is alluding to. With just a week to go before the launch of the next season, all the mysteries will be unraveling pretty soon.
