Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 has been teased twice

A few days ago, Epic Games accidentally posted an image of the Black Goo on the Nintendo Shop. The image shows the same goo that recently appeared in the in-game world.

Epic quickly removed the image as it was not intended to go live. However, by the time it was removed, the image was seen by millions of players and the community believes it was the first Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 teaser.

The same Black Goo that was seen in the teaser image was also spotted on the Fortnite island. More specifically, players can find it in several places on the spawn island.

Many players are wondering what this means, yet no one has a clear answer. However, chances are that Epic Games is teasing a new character or a map change that will be released with Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4.

The new season of the popular video game is scheduled to begin on Sunday, September 18. The trailer for the season should be released on the same day of its release, but players will most likely get more leaks in the meantime.
