Fortnite's new crime season will let you play as a giant pickle

Fortnite has revealed the theme of its next season, which will launch in just over a week’s time, on 21st February.

Lawless, as the season is titled, will be the second during the game’s Chapter 6 era. Intriguingly, while that began with a distinctly Japanese setting, a first look at next season suggests more of a ‘bad bits of LA’ vibe.

So, what can we see? From a teaser image posted to social media, there’s a broken neon Hotel sign and burning wood in a barrel, and what look like discarded gold bars littering the street following some kind of quick getaway. Fortnite is once again going for a bank vaults and heist theme then, it seems.

Wanted posters feature a new version of fan-favourite gold lover Midas, now sporting a mullet, and an anthropomorphic pickle man called “Big Dill”.

Big Dill the pickle man looks to be Fortnite’s latest fruity character, in the style of Peely the banana. Eagle-eyed Fortnite fans will have spotted the current battle royale Island’s pickle farm growing over the past season from a small farm to a giant factory. Is Big Dill its latest produce?

Last month, it was revealed that hit film Wicked features Fortnite sound effects during a pivotal scene. Work is also continuing on Epic Games’ big new Fortnite Disney offering, which is now mid-development.
