As is usual forFortnite’s end-of-season events, there have been a number of new and returning changes toFortnite’s Season 5 map. The aftermath ofFortniteSeason 4’s Galactus Eventleft a huge crater in the middle of the map called the Zero Point. This area blends realities, which gives context to a lot of the new and returning additions to the Season 5 map. Additionally, given Season 5’s theme centering around bounty hunters and thieves, there are a handful of Easter Eggs referencing iconic pop culture figures who fit the bill.
One of those Easter Eggs is a funny reference to the infamous scene inStar Wars Episode 5, where Han Solo is revealed to have been frozen in carbonite after his capture. However, inFortnite’s Season 5 mapEaster egg, it’s Peely that’s been frozen in a block of carbonite instead of the famous smuggler. The Easter egg can be found in one of the rooms inside the Hunter’s Haven house that’s been added to the Season 5 map. The Peely carbonite statue is simply a destructible object in the game’s world, so there’s no special interaction that comes from finding him at Hunter’s Haven.
Though, this Easter Egg isn’t the onlyStar Wars-related bit of content added toFortnitestarting in Season 5. The Season 5 Battle Pass gameplay trailer showed offboth Mandalorian and Baby Yoda cosmeticscoming to the game sometime over the course of the season. It’s an interesting coincidence, to say the least, though given that Disney ownsStar Warsand Marvel it makes sense. Especially considering howFortnite’s Season 4 content essentially revolved around Marvel properties, it wouldn’t be too much of a surprise if more and moreStar Warscontent made its way into the game.
For now, though, players are still just busy getting acquainted with most of Season 5’s new content. It seems thatFortnite’s Season 5 bars and bountiesmight shake up the competitive metagame a lot, so hardcore players should get a grasp on how those new systems work. As Season 5 progresses, players will surely get more and more familiar with a lot of the new content, including various Easter eggs that Epic Games has hidden around the brand new map.
Fortniteis free-to-play for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
