Who doesn’t love a pet companion in a video game? Well, a fresh Fortnite leak has players buzzing with excitement and a touch of déjà vu. According to trusted dataminers, Epic Games may be bringing pets back to the battle royale, but this time, they won’t just be decorative back bling.
Several well-known leakers, including @ShiinaBR on X, have posted updates about this new Fortnite feature. Another leaker, @blortzen, shared an image showing the new cosmetic type: Companions.
Longtime fans will remember when Fortnite introduced pets as back bling items—adorable creatures that sat on your back and reacted to gameplay. While they were popular, the feature didn’t last long. The latest Fortnite pets leak suggests Epic is working on a revamped pet system that could give these furry companions more presence, possibly allowing them to roam alongside players during matches.
Files uncovered in the latest update point to new animations and sounds that don’t match any existing in-game items, sparking speculation that pets may become more than just accessories. The return of pets could significantly enhance gameplay, particularly if Epic incorporates personality, emotes, or minor interactions.
Although nothing is confirmed, the Fortnite pets leak has reignited excitement across social media, with players brainstorming their dream companions—from Krypto the Superdog to flying baby dragons. If this leak proves true, the battle bus may soon have a lot more cuteness.
In a world of Star Wars-themed forts and alien battles, a loyal sidekick might be the greatest upgrade of all. Are you excited to see companions in Fortnite? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
