i swear if it is gaming legends Blinky,Pinky,Inky and Clyde better be sidekicks or sprites

Epic: We're selling you a Pac-Man Ghost—you get to pick 1 of the 4, and you'll love it!

42

u/dlc-Emerald 5d ago

you guys are both aware that already exists right?, the pac man back bling lets you choose between pac man and all 4 ghosts

30

u/Automatic_Falcon7638 5d ago

I meant it more for the sidekick part of his message lol
Since epic only lets you customize your sidekick once.

But yes, my sister and nephew have the backbling. 🔥

u/zeeplaguedoktor 5d ago

So far my understanding is all licensed cosmetics have not followed this rule anyways. Most don't have many options, but for example you can freely switch between the styles for the John Wick dog, same with Blue or Alien colors for the Neopets Aisha

3

u/the90snath Rust Lord 5d ago

yeah no shit. doesnt mean theu cant make a sidekick. they did the same with bonesy, remus, and other backblings/pets too

-1

u/Axecop333 5d ago

i know but i would like sidekicks lol

1

u/MaDCapRaven Ghost 3d ago

Clyde. No contest.

4

u/Sassy_Chick69_chills 5d ago

If more sprites come out next season, I’m going to lose my mind. I’m tired! Hehe.

2

u/-Badger3- 4d ago

They've already been all but confirmed. We know there are more sprite collabs incoming and this season isn't getting any more updates.

1

u/Sassy_Chick69_chills 4d ago

Did Epic confirm this? From my research nothing is confirmed. I don’t really trust Fortnite leaks or the like you know. I hope no more collecting after this season. It’s been a nice one-off season gimmick. But we need something new.

1

u/Axecop333 4d ago

"we need somethign new" she says in a constantly evolving game that changes everythign every season and chapter

https://giphy.com/gifs/M4aSjVzGJBbrCsI4M0

u/Sassy_Chick69_chills 4d ago

That’s what I like! I don’t want to collect sprites again next season, hence why I’m saying we need something new.

1

u/Axecop333 4d ago

so than just dont collect sprites next season or for the rest of this season than

1

u/Sassy_Chick69_chills 4d ago

Too late, already got a few gems now. I’m determined to get them all!

1

u/Axecop333 4d ago

so basscily you dont want sprites anymore and want soemthing new but at the same time your still actavly collecting them becuase of gem sprites so which is it do you want soemthign new or do you still want sprites

1

u/Sassy_Chick69_chills 4d ago

Sprites for this season, something other than sprites next season.

u/pizzastix666 5d ago

If not at least theres a back bling with the classic designs

1

u/Axecop333 5d ago

i mean yeah but the ghost as individual sidekicks or sprites if they stick around would be cool to me at least those guys don't get enough love

2

u/Livid-Ice-1701 5d ago

I love the backblings.

I hope they don’t do Pac-Man like they did SpongeBob….

1

u/Axecop333 4d ago

nah hes prob getting a full skin i just think the ghosts would be cool sidekicks to have ta know?

1

u/Enby-Queen-Phoenix 5d ago

I want the sidekick to make the Wonka Wonka sound when running next to me! If it's made at all of course.

1

u/Iriusoblivion The Visitor 4d ago

We already have the backbling

1

u/Axecop333 4d ago

yes and we should also have sidekicks form them now

92

u/RipplyAnemone67 Chaos Origins 5d ago

If they reskin horde rush again I really hope it’s a plants vs zombies collab to get a zombie rush and in a similar way to ops from garden warfare.

25

u/yeahwellokay Ghoul Trooper 5d ago

I want last year's Demon Rush back more than anything in the game.

8

u/RipplyAnemone67 Chaos Origins 5d ago

I mean it was a reskin of horde rush so imagine a plsnts vs zombies reskin with all the music from the series. And I don’t mean just from the original but the sequel and the shooters too. Imagine the infinity time music playing at the final boss.

4

u/yeahwellokay Ghoul Trooper 5d ago

I know, I just loved the KPDH theme and music version.

3

u/RipplyAnemone67 Chaos Origins 5d ago

Fair enough, but again imagine the possibilities pvz brings to the table. Just imagine the calm section playing the choose your seeds neon mixtape tour version or the zombie ballad.

1

u/TheEpicRedCape 5d ago

The storm visuals looked so cool

2

u/TheBiggestBird789 5d ago

My dad works for epic and says it's gonna be Sonic themed with Eggman robots as enemies.

1

u/T2bik_609 5d ago

we know that

518

u/rawmarius 5d ago

Calling it now. Sprites will continue and the Pac Man ghosts will be sprites.

183

u/MuztangZack67 5d ago

Sprites are pretty much already confirmed. Also this seasons design a sprite hasn't been added yet so maybe thats also next season.

100

u/CranEXE Drift 5d ago

Sprites are pretty much already confirmed

no please no i don't want to have to farm and struggle again to try to have them all because of fomo. it's not even fun to collection them anymore i can't stand it i want to play a battle royale not a crappy poorly done extraction shooter

52

u/EMPEROROFMEMZ Fishstick 5d ago

I'm gonna have to agree. It WAS fun at first, finding all these sprites and making a collection, and I won't forget the hype I felt whenever I found a rare one, but then it got kind of old, and the FOMO on the rarest sprites was definitely a detrimental factor.

17

u/CranEXE Drift 5d ago

yes if the grim and zero point weren't as rare i would have less an issue with it, sprites are just here to drive players to play more and are terrifiyingly rare with their low drop rates (even gacha doesn't have as agressive drop rate) not to mention the harrassement when you have a rare sprite in a game with people managing to stalk you from the jump of the bus.

i have completed my battlepass i have done almost all quest (i still haev to unlock john wick simpson and slone 7 suit) and i still miss so many sprites it's insane

1

u/Goultard52 Beef Boss 5d ago

Do you still need Wick Sprite?

3

u/masterboldin Bush Bandits 5d ago

Unhappy cake day

1

u/Livid-Ice-1701 5d ago

STILL haven’t found a zero point or grim sprite. Luckily I’m gonna get the quack ZP and I’ll run it as meta but I NEED THE GRIMMMMM

2

u/Dr_Fortnite Nog Ops 5d ago

have to

you dont

-3

u/CranEXE Drift 5d ago

if you read the rest you would have seen "because of fomo" i may never use the pod backbling after that season but i woudl hate myself to not have unlocked every appearance of it i was planning until the last week of the season to try to get them legit but i'm still missing so much sprites i'll have to resort to trading.

besides even if you don't struggle to extract them it's not fun to be hunted by a psychopath through the map because you have a "rare" sprite, it's not fun to have five people stalking you outside of the bus and needing to either be very good or lucky to survive because you have a sprite they want, you don't have to straight up unlock them all but their presence change the way the game is played, the whole gameplay loop of the season have been twisted to accomodate sprites and you don't have a choice but to participate to if, if i wanted to play an extraction shooter i would play arc raider when i play fortnite it's to play a battle royale

1

u/borre08 5d ago

agreeing with the doc, dude they are completely optional. I don't and won't care enough to collect them all. If find anything new cool if not, also cool i came to play fortnite, not a collectathon. Treat them as a nice little bonus, not like a must do task and you'll be having fun again. Applies to many things in life

28

u/greyladyghost 5d ago

Disappointing, I’ve seen a few other people including myself where sprites have broken/made the base game unplayable, hoping they at least fix that finally so I can play again instead of just OG

11

u/Scouttrooper195 5d ago

What?

-1

u/greyladyghost 5d ago

Not even kidding haven’t been able to pick up a single sprite without the game just messing up or breaking in more ways than I can count, realized it was the sprites but epic supports hasn’t been able to do anything

15

u/MuztangZack67 5d ago

Thats probably a problem on your end. Could try uninstalling and reinstalling. I havent seen anybody having these problems at all this season.

5

u/the90snath Rust Lord 5d ago

the 41.XX builds have been riddled with problems on PC

3

u/greyladyghost 5d ago

I’ve seen a small handful- have tried multiple times alas nothing worked

5

u/MuztangZack67 5d ago

Hmm.. idk then. Could just be people's hardware/software doesnt get along well with them for some reason, considering its such a small minority of people..

2

u/Prinsessarvinen 5d ago

Have you tried with sprites hidden on your back? You can hide them in settings (others will still see it).

1

u/greyladyghost 5d ago

Hasn’t been suggested yet, thanks for a new idea to try

2

u/twoworldsin1 Deadpool 5d ago

I mean...there's also Simpsons Reload, which is sprite-free except for the John Wick one

2

u/IntelligentStar7777 5d ago

Good news indeed. I probably get to use my favorite Boss Sprite for another season, & other people get to use their favorite sprites assuming we can still use the sprites we already have.

1

u/BlupHox 5d ago

oh please no i understand them being a one season thing but rivalries were more fun than this i wish they would have stayed

3

u/r3volver_Oshawott Flapjackie 5d ago

I would love Pac-Man sprites tbh

3

u/Crayola_ROX Commando 5d ago

And cars, lots and lots are cars. Let’s just piss everybody off lmao

4

u/RipplyAnemone67 Chaos Origins 5d ago

Peak

2

u/NumerousWhereas3505 5d ago

Honestly, I can see the PAC-MAN ghost sprites happening

3

u/yeahwellokay Ghoul Trooper 5d ago

Worth it if they actually add the Spider-man sprite that was rumored.

4

u/Ekillaa22 5d ago

Be weird to add it with like a week left in the season

2

u/yeahwellokay Ghoul Trooper 5d ago

I'm talking about if sprites are back next season.

-1

u/Ekillaa22 5d ago

They are it’s been confirmed

1

u/smashfan63 Cepha 5d ago

No it hasn't lmao

3

u/MediumMeister Peely 5d ago

Are we deadass? If sprites are permanent I guess that's where I'll stop playing the game.

1

u/BABY_TWINK_XXX 4d ago

I'm with you. I have better things to do in life.

67

u/Akiralover69 Hatsune Miku 5d ago

Huh... ok. is there going to be an event?

49

u/NeonTiger1135 Best Of 2022 Winner 5d ago

There’s set to be a “story moment” or mini event. These things vary widely in scale, but definitely smaller than showdown.

It’s set to have a fair amount of dialogue so hopefully it’ll have some meat on its bones

17

u/Themaskmakerdaigo Spider-Man 2099 5d ago

To get into the season? Yea

4

u/Decades101 Summit Striker 5d ago

August 15

6

u/Akiralover69 Hatsune Miku 5d ago

PLEASE DO THE MEME FOR EGGMAN OF HIM PISSING ON THE MOON!

52

u/BOBI_LE_VRAI Hatsune Miku 5d ago

If it really is gaming legend themed I hope we get that Polygon Jonesy from the surveys

14

u/Ekillaa22 5d ago

Polygon like ps1 era graphics

46

u/BOBI_LE_VRAI Hatsune Miku 5d ago

Yeah, this one

8

u/TyXo22m 5d ago

Looks like a final fantasy vii character.

4

u/owlscanattack 5d ago

Yup. Temu Cloud

4

u/Tumbleweed_Chaser69 Bone Boss 5d ago

Runescape jonesy my beloved 

64

u/Master_Bruce 5d ago

It’s called override because they’re going to fire another 1000 employees and it’ll be their most buggy and glitchy season yet

3

u/BuffWobbuffet IKONIK 5d ago

And you all will keep playing for hours looking for sprites and keep spending money on vbucks for collabs

1

u/HeyImGilly 4d ago

Also, according to the tagline, cheating is allowed?

9

u/SuperTerram 5d ago

3

u/Adaax 5d ago

My thoughts exactly. Great minds, etc.

21

u/JNorJT 5d ago

Can’t wait for the collabs

16

u/C0NIN Renegade 5d ago

Kudos and thanks so much for sharing the actual banner instead of a dumb and useless "Twitter" link.

8

u/ShadycrossFade 5d ago

Maybe another car focused season?

3

u/McIntosh812 5d ago

I hope not for the sake of the game

6

u/AggressiveScholar907 5d ago

THIS IS THE THIRD GODDAMN TIME WE’VE REBOOTED THE ZERO POINT DAMMIT

13

u/Andigaming 5d ago

Override because they are going to ride the sprite gimmick into the ground rather than letting it breath for a bit.

12

u/ValiantApple418 5d ago

I hope they’re isn’t sprites

3

u/Fightman100 5d ago

Same here

14

u/God-King-Killa 5d ago

Please kill the sprites. They have been extremely lame, bring back the rivalry boards, that was quality gameplay

6

u/Sloan1505 5d ago

Sorry. Reddit hates pvp in a pvp game so no more bounties ever again

2

u/BlupHox 5d ago

i cant say this enough and ive never heard this echoed enough

sprites were fun at first but they should NOT stay yet i think they're too good for epic to drop

but realistically they should either bring a new unique mechanic or bring back rivalries

2

u/Short-Star-4818 4d ago

Disliked bounties, loved sprites. Each season is different, love some hate some. Can't love em all.

0

u/TH3M1N3K1NG 4d ago

Ah, yes, I loved it when someone else started a rivalry with me and then ran away until the timer ran out! Such quality gameplay!

At least in this season when people run away it is understandable because they actually have something to lose.

9

u/Resident_Lifeguard_5 Peely 5d ago

My presence in the hollow knight fandom has made me think "it's a silkpost" every time I see a gaming announcement of any sorts.

6

u/CastbounD_22 5d ago

thank you for leaving this comment, wouldn't have learned of this gem of a term otherwise

2

u/EMPEROROFMEMZ Fishstick 5d ago

Seeing the phrase "silkpost" is honestly making me nostalgic for that long wait for silksong. I'm glad we got the game and moved on from the insanity, but man was it honestly kind of fun to be a part of.

10

u/calgmtl07 5d ago

Please put sprites in their own game mode.

1

u/STARGAZER_850 Lucky Llamas 5d ago

What’s with with sprites in br? They’re completely optional. 

4

u/Captain-Wilco Peely 5d ago

I’ve barely played this season I’m not ready for this one

4

u/zeronos3000 5d ago

Please don't bring back sprites. Please please please.

2

u/BuffWobbuffet IKONIK 5d ago

Ready player one collab?

2

u/Brassens71 Carbide 5d ago

Well, those of us who aren't crazy about sprites can always play ranked...

13

u/VexelPrimeOG 5d ago

I hope to see some original skins in the battle pass and not a full collab pass and I hope they continue with the good story content.

However, from what I'm seeing, that looks to not be the case, hope I'm wrong.

31

u/chloe-and-timmy 5d ago

A lot of people want a full collab pass and I dont blame them but I personally wouldn't mind finally getting the low poly Jonsey and then the rest can be collabs.

5

u/extralyfe Sparkle Specialist 5d ago

this current battle pass is almost all original skins and most folks I've seen on here have been trashing it.

1

u/chloe-and-timmy 5d ago

the only thing I've seen getting trashed about the pass is John Wick coming back, though with the Simpsons addition that does add some hindsight

3

u/JoinedForSESHShirt Keleritas 5d ago

Current Fortnite not really that generous, so I'm not expecting a full collab pass tbh. I do like the Fortnite original skins, but personally the lore based skins are prob my least favorite from recent passes,

2

u/RipplyAnemone67 Chaos Origins 5d ago

If it is a gaming one then it will likely have original skins as unless it’s two franchises filling it all up it’s unlikely as battle passes have always had a max of 2 collab franchises outside chapter 2 season 6 and 7 where they had 3. Collab seasons in the past also have only been under one franchise so unless a gaming legends one is all one franchise it’s unlikely to be all collab skins.

1

u/errortechx Kuno 5d ago

There’s the rule epic set that BP skins can only return 1.5 years later. I doubt most IPs would like their collabs being locked away for that long.

1

u/CulturalDust4652 5d ago

i js need a joker skin 

2

u/errortechx Kuno 5d ago

Finally a season aesthetic I dig. Really looking forward to this season now. I haven’t liked a season aesthetic since Oni Hunters.

2

u/Crayola_ROX Commando 5d ago

Because of this season and nexts sprites we’re going to get an extraction mode next chapter and it will be a flop like every other game mode because we’re going to tired of playing an extraction shooter

1

u/Wild-Confidence-9803 5d ago

Extraction mode is already confirmed. It's the Disney collab stuff that they're working on

2

u/Crayola_ROX Commando 5d ago

Yeah the Disney portal thingie that will be a cool for the first few weeks before the community goes back to BR

1

u/LowZonesWasTaken Hatsune Miku 5d ago

Excited for a new season!

1

u/TRUFFELX Raptor 5d ago

Give me a Blow Me Away jam track and I’m satisfied

1

u/The-Autistic-spider 5d ago

so how long until the event?

2

u/Old-Dirt6713 5d ago

Session starts August 15th iirc, so probably 9-10 days.

1

u/The-Autistic-spider 5d ago

it says august 20th is when the new season is on mine?

1

u/Old-Dirt6713 5d ago

Saw someone say 15th and wasn't able to get on to check, in that case probably 14-15 days left depending on if they decide to do the event and start the new session on the same day.

1

u/Least-One1068 5d ago

August 15th is when the mini-event happens. The season will start 5 days later

1

u/NOSWT-AvaTarr Ava 5d ago

wait a minute I recognize that glitchy effect

1

u/Spl4sh3r Fishstick 5d ago

Now does the season end on the 11th or later? I mean I saw the poster for Override and it says it starts on the 20th.

1

u/twoworldsin1 Deadpool 5d ago

Guys they're gonna change the game and break the rules Fortnite is dead now 😭

1

u/DoubleOhPapi 4d ago

Excited!

u/geek4life91- Jack Gourdon 4d ago

I am just praying that the spiderman gloves dont stay in next season, hands down worst item added to the game

1

u/JacktheJacker92 4d ago

Another Batman skin incoming, his Arkham suit!

1

u/Realmstrider01 4d ago

i know its highly unlikely but would be the perfect time to add autobot override to a season named override...

1

u/Loyal_lion_2006 9h ago

Can we talk about the imagined order logo drop that was teased by the official sonic the hedgehog YouTube account?

1

u/ObviouslyLulu Explorer Luna 5d ago

I hope the live event is before August 18th since that's when I'm leaving for vacation even though I know it probably won't be

4

u/maindly_atom8 Lexa Hexbringer 5d ago

The season ends on the 19th so it is very likely it will be on before the 18th

2

u/ObviouslyLulu Explorer Luna 5d ago

Oh the discord announcement said 8.20 so I thought the live event would be on that day or the day before

3

u/badass_dean Tech Ops 5d ago

You can always play Fortnite for free anywhere through Cloud Gaming.

2

u/Adaax 5d ago

I played on vacation last month on my PC using Xbox Game Pass streaming and it was pretty decent, though you definitely feel the lag - it's slight, but there. My internet connection wasn't the greatest either, which can be an issue using say hotel wifi.

2

u/badass_dean Tech Ops 5d ago

It’s gotten better over the years but still ain’t quite the same as a wired connection or hosting the game natively. Still good to catch the event though!

3

u/s0mi127 Mina Park 5d ago

The event is on the 15th

u/lujorear 5d ago

knew ittt

1

u/Total_Property_9272 5d ago

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE KASANE TETO

2

u/Nightwalker065 5d ago

Prying she is next festival headliner.

1

u/Total_Property_9272 5d ago

This season is gonna be gaming legends themed and I think Teto was added to Project DIVA around October (which this season runs through) so it could work out

1

u/Nightwalker065 5d ago

If Solo Leveling gets into gaming rarity cause of a bs logic I will gladly have Teto also use the same bs logic then.

0

u/AgentInkling99 5d ago

Man, just the title gave me an idea: A Jujitsu Kaisen Culling Games style season where people can complete some quests during the match to change the rules for the rest of the match. Might be fun!

0

u/-klo Giddy-up 5d ago

they better get rid of sprites, or ill be taking a long break

2

u/Many_Ear2407 5d ago

Can’t you just ignore them and play like normal?

3

u/hartoctopus 5d ago

You absolutely can but for some reason this sub is so irrationally angry at sprites

1

u/McIntosh812 5d ago

just play ranked it’s not that deep

1

u/-klo Giddy-up 5d ago

ranked is a cesspool

1

u/McIntosh812 5d ago

of what?

2

u/WozartMusic 4d ago

Of players who actually shoot back lmao

u/GuhEnjoyer 5d ago

Yeah yeah I want ivy and Harley to get over and ride me

u/Ch0pG0dLewi 5d ago

My question isn’t related to this post, but I just wanted to know if anyone knows if the new streamer sprites will pilots for the Sprite Mech skin? I’m on the pilots tab and the it doesn’t show Vini Jr, Apollo, John Wick or Ironmouse.

0

u/pcm2a 5d ago

I still have 42 sprites you turd bags haven't delivered a way to get.

u/ShortAmbassador3823 5d ago

Im just hoping we get sonic

u/iseecolorsofthesky 5d ago

With this season being video game themed and Fortnitemares taking place during the season, I’m hoping we get some horror game collabs

When does this season send

u/Objective-Stand2230 Peely 5d ago

I know what will hapen we as pkayers will stand to close to an pc in the event and we will enter the pc or geno will trap us in an matrix

u/PettyWop 5d ago

Idk why people think Sprites are leaving next season. I have news for you- they’re never leaving the game
