FortniteSeason 6 is almost over, and with Season 7 looming on the horizon, Epic has begun teasing players with something astronomical. Posters, audio spectrograms, and foreshadowing voice lines all seem to point in the same direction:Fortniteis going to invaded by aliens and they may be bringing some of planet Earth’s weirdest animals with them when they arrive.
In one recent set of voice lines gathered from thefive CB Radios as part of theFortniteForeshadow Quest, Mari and Tucker appear to be discussing animals strange enough to be aliens. Mari states that the ocean is strange enough to be an intergalactic alien rest stop, while Tucker says just one word: kangaroos. As of writing, it’s difficult to say whether he’s meant to be speaking from experience or simply commenting on how odd an animal the kangaroo is. Either way, one of the audio spectrograms from the Season 7 teaser phone numbers showed a kangaroo, which suggests that the animal Mari describes as “nature’s frat boy” may soon be arriving inFortnite.

Alongside the voice lines, there are plenty of other hints that an alien invasion is fast approaching, including ominousFortnitepostcards sent out to gamersseemingly at random. Not everyone who received the postcards has playedFortniterecently–or at all, in the case of some ResetEra users who don’t even have Epic Games accounts–raising questions about how theFortniteteam got their mailing addresses. On the other side, many dedicatedFortniteplayers have expressed irritation that they did not receive postcards. The items in question show bright green shapes on black backgrounds, marked by two simple words: “they’re coming.”
“They’re coming” has quickly become the hashtag used to collect evidence in the build-up to Season 7. Twitter accounts dedicated to archivingFortnite’s teasers have used it to mark posters, other audio spectrograms, and a final warning from Mari that players should be careful and watch the stars. As of writing, players appear to have gathered all the phone numbers associated with the Season 7 ad campaign, which suggests that Season 7’s release isn’t too far off. In the meantime,Fortniteplayers can occupy themselves with investigating the downed black helicopterand other Foreshadowing Quests while waiting to see how kangaroos factor into an alien invasion.
Fortnitehas also begun teasing its next collaboration, which appears to be a crossover with Brian Sanderson’sMistborntrilogy. These books are currently being pitched for a film adaptation. Appearing inFortnitecould be a form of advertising for an upcoming movie. It’s uncertain whether or not kangaroos will appear in theMistbornfilm.
Fortniteis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
