#5 - Midas returns

Fortnite's story originally revolved around Midas, before the collaborations started to become Fortnite’s main plotline. Several members of the community feel a strong sense of loss towards the original story arc. If this rift is a way to bring Midas back into Fortnite in a meaningful manner, players will be very pleased.

There is a possibility that it will bring back a Midas or Jules from the past or present. Either way, players would love to have a Fortnite story that’s exclusive to Fortnite.

Since January, Fortnite has been teasing the return of the Fox Clan to the plotline. A tweet was sent along with the release of the Vi, in which Drift was being contacted by members of the Fox Clan. Season 6 could be the way that the entire Fox Clan comes back together.

Fortnite released a picture of the Season 6 color theme. The character model on the left side looks like an outline of a fox.

Although this may seem like a stretch, it may just be a hint.

There are a lot of skins coming to Fortnite that are DC-themed. A lot of players thought this meant the next theme would be based around DC, much like Marvel was the basis for a season.

Several notable leakers have indicated that the DC skins will not be included in the next theme. Leaked information isn't necessarily true. Leakers aren't working for Fortnite or Epic Games; they are just selling information, and at times, they're wrong. As long as Epic Games doesn’t reveal Season 6 or confirm otherwise, this still remains on the table.

Over the years there has been much speculation regarding Kevin's return to the battle royale map.

According to Reddit user Duskyxlops, each portal location on the map forms a distinct picture when put together, and this could hint at what Season 6's theme is supposed to be. It has been noted that the locations seemingly connect into a cube.

Duskyxlops said specifically:

“So far the portal locations are forming a cube… Just like the runes Kevin imprinted on the map in Season 5 Chapter 1– Two are unreleased… Dark energy might corrupt the portals and make corrupted zones next season”

The cube was immediately pulled into the discussion, and many of the commenters created their own theories about the cube's potential return to the game. Duskyxlops claims to be right in another post, though others believe he seeks to connect something completely unrelated with his theory.

#1 - Zero Crisis

Jonesy's multiverse madness might not have ended with the Zero Point Event due to take place on March 19, 2021. There have been some screenshots that point to a “Zero Crisis” themed season.

Since Epic have teased Fornite’s other hunters for a while, and the fact that there are rumors about more hunters yet to come, it does make sense.
