Fortnite’s popular Pokémon-like Sprites are sticking around, developer Epic Games has confirmed, as it begins teasing a new gaming-themed season expected to feature crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog, Persona and Tetris.
Sprites arrived in force at the beginning of Fortnite’s current season, introducing a growing menagerie of cute creatures you collect, trade, and level up to increase their power. The addition has been hugely successful and created a community of Sprite-obsessed fans who have contributed to a notable boost in Fortnite’s player count.
It’s a welcome surprise, then, to see that Sprites are now confirmed as sticking around for next season — and a whole new generation of them are on the way. In a community blog, Epic Games has promised new powers, quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback, and “new ways to discover Sprites in (and out of) your games. Mysterious!
In a signal that Sprites are being treated as an important part of Fortnite going forward, Epic Games is launching a new Sprite Garden experience where collected Sprites can be showcased — both those from Season 3, and Gen 2 Sprites from Season 4. You’ll even be able to visit friends’ Sprite Gardens, too.
