Earlier Fortnite Creative Director Donald Mustard changed his location to Waling Woods in his Twitter account. He is popular for teasing new Fortnite events through his Twitter. In season 7, he shifted his location to the Iceberg and Ice Castle Dungeon.

Fortnite Season 8 Pirate Theme and Map Changes

Historically, we have seen that Season 6 was about Halloween's related apocalyptic themes with Fortnitemares and in Season 8, Fortnite game development team turned the most of the map into the winter wonderland. So logically we can expect springtime this time in season 8

Based on the two teasers posted by Fortnite’s official Twitter account, Season 8 will include pirates and snakes. But there is still a tone question left: How will the Prisoner will fit with this theme?

Fortnite Season 8 Pirate Theme

The Fortnite season 8 is difficult to predict. Putting the 4 pieces together, the eagle-eyed fans noticed a skull-looking condition, a hook hand, and a dragon-like creature. In addition, there is a freaked out looking banana presented in the teaser. We can also expect a theme inspired by lava oozed out by a volcanic eruption or shattered placed by earthquakes. Recently, most of the Fortnite game players noticed the worn out and crispy grass in the Wailing Woods area, which was used to be centered place for many players.

We can also expect some kind of new mass server-wide live event to take Fortnite into the fresh season.

Fortnite Season 8 Battle Pass – Skins, Wraps, Pets, and its Cost

Images of the battle pass skins have not been revealed yet. But as per the teaser, it will include pets and wraps. As usual, new costumes will arrive for the Fortnite new season.

You don’t need to pay a cent if you have completed all the overtime challenges before the end of season 7. Those who were not able to manage this feat, for them the Fortnite season 8 battle pass will cost 950 V-Bucks.
