New Pet Companions May Be Joining Fortnite’s Battle Royale Action

Oh man, Fortnite and its pet obsession — I mean, did you ever think we’d be here chatting about virtual dogs and dragons? Anyway, so this new leak, right? Apparently, there’s more critters on the horizon. Imagine poking around for game secrets and boom, you find pics of a skateboarding turtle and — wait for it — a super fuzzy Cuddle Team animal! Yeah, it’s all over the socials, and there’s even a golden retriever in the mix. It got me remembering the good ol’ days of 2018 (seems like a lifetime ago) when they first gave us those little backpack pets.

Remember that debut with season 6? Three pets made their grand entrance. There was this rad iguana, Camo, and a dragon named Scales. Simpler times, for sure. Now, fast forward, and here we are — 17 pets later! Oh, and let’s not forget the star-studded cameos like Rocket Raccoon and Grogu. Did they do more than just look cute? Nah, not really. But everyone’s buzzing about how Epic Games might be plotting some new pet action that actually, you know, does stuff.

Got this tidbit from a pretty reliable source that hints at next-level interaction. Feeding, petting, brushing — not in real life, ha! — and even minigames. Can you imagine getting sidetracked playing a mini fetch game while bullets zip by? What a world we live in. All this jazz might just roll out this season, too.

Oh, speaking of updates, Shock ‘N Awesome just dropped on August 7th. Power Rangers and Halo vibes, new weapons, the whole shebang. Seriously, it’s like they never run out of ideas. So, yeah, that’s the scoop on our pixelated furry (and scaly) friends in the wild ride that is Fortnite.
