New Fortnite Leak Unveils Details About Pets

Sure thing, here goes nothing:

Okay, so here’s the scoop — or at least what the coffee-fueled rumor mill’s buzzing about these days. Fortnite, that ever-changing whirlwind of a game, might be getting some funky new additions, and it’s got everyone talking. For starters, there’s this yabber about pets. Yep, pets. But here’s the kicker — they’ll only be visible to you and your buddies. Imagine your golden retriever Fluffy, but only you can see him during your chaotic rampages. Sounds a bit nuts, right? Prevents the whole battlefield from turning into a zoo, though — nobody needs seagulls flapping around while you’re trying to snipe.

Oh, and apparently Superman’s dog, Krypto — because why not? — might crash in too. No joke, Krypto might become a thing in Fortnite, just chilling there, wagging his tail while you blast baddies. Something to do with a “Krypto’s Treat” grenade that lures him in, and he lands like a, uh, very excited, gravity-defying dog missile. Honestly, it sounds like pure chaos. In the best way.

There’s also whisperings about Springfield — yes, that Springfield — potentially becoming a battleground in Fortnite. “D’oh!” echoes through my head just thinking about it. Could be part of a crossover with The Simpsons. I mean, who wouldn’t want to build a ramp up the side of Homer’s iconic pink house? But then again, who knows if this will see the light of day or just fade away like a partly-recalled dream.

Backtrack a sec, talking about visuals cluttering up the place — the news that not everyone’ll see your pets is calming to my overbuzzed brain. I got sidetracked there (shocker). But essentially, there’s hope for the stealth players out there, not being given away by a cavorting space-bear or whatever.

Anyway, leaks are leaks — a grain of salt, a twist of lime — until Epic Games says it’s for real. Could be a wild ride, could be a nonstarter. Who knows? Either way, gotta love the messy, ever-looping chaos that is Fortnite. Keeps us coming back, doesn’t it? Or maybe that’s just me, prone to distraction and easily amused by digital wackiness.

Catch you on the flip side, or maybe just in Springfield (fingers crossed).
