It could be a red (or blue) herring (pic: Epic Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Looks like Fortnite is getting ready for some April Fool’s shenanigans as funky fish pictures show up on the game’s social media accounts. <\/p>\n

Epic Games sure knows how to build up anticipation for Fortnite’s big reveals, whether it’s by dropping cryptic hints through map coordinates or teasing players with mysterious trailers.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why a bunch of players have started thinking that something is on the way, after they noticed a weird pattern on one of Fortnite’s regional Twitter accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clues seem to be hidden within a series of pictures displaying fish in the distinctive style of Fortnite, swimming aimlessly and appearing disinterested… so, make of that what you will.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The images are akin to a jigsaw puzzle piece, forming a bigger picture that remains unfinished, as pointed out by well-known Fortnite leaker Shiina.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The most recent image was revealed around 12pm on Friday, March 31 and it features a Light Blue Shield Fish that has a drawing of an Orange Flopper on it. <\/p>\n

As you may know, Fortnite France tweeted a mysterious fish picture last weekend 🤔<\/p>\n

They’ve been posting more of them the last few days, and we only need 3 more pictures to get a big one! 👀<\/p>\n

It MAY be irrelevant to people outside the French community, but it’s worth mentioning! pic.twitter.com\/DYLaJ0qijk<\/a><\/p>\n

In Fortnite, fish are consumable items that can be caught as part of the fishing mechanic, with over 44 different types of fish having been featured in the game. <\/p>\n

Fish typically have healing properties, so it\u2019s not a bad tactic to catch one to get some energy back if you find yourself in a challenging position. <\/p>\n

As soon as Fortnite players noticed the posts on Fortnite France\u2019s account they started speculating what their meaning could be, with the majority assuming it must be an April Fool’s joke. <\/p>\n

This theory kind of makes sense as the final two images are expected to come out by April 1. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to note that April Fool\u2019s Day is known as \u2018poisson d\u2019avril\u2019 (April Fish) as it\u2019s a tradition hang paper fish on the back of the people you want to prank, so the photos could be merely referencing this. <\/p>\n

Definitely has something to do with this new Spray that was added in the latest update pic.twitter.com\/gO0kECOk1b<\/a><\/p>\n

If this isn\u2019t just a well-planned prank for the French, the photos do seem like they could also tie into a couple of recent items added to Fortnite. <\/p>\n

One player noticed that the most recent Fortnite update, which revealed the special Spring Breakout event, also added a new fish-themed spray. <\/p>\n
