Summary
- Chapter 6 Season 2 of Fortnite will introduce a gameplay feature called 'SpikyBird.'
- The feature is related to the Ripsaw Launcher, which was added in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3.
- Some fans believe this hints at an upcoming Chainsaw Man collab.
A new leak has revealed that Fortnite might be getting a new gameplay feature that could be similar to the Ripsaw Launcher, which was added to the game all the way back in Chapter 3. Fortnite has recently added a plethora of content from past seasons, but many fans think that this one is probably hinting at a collaboration instead.
The ongoing season of Fortnite added a whole new dynamic to the game with the introduction of Japanese-themed elements. One of the biggest highlights was the return of the fan-favorite Fortnite OG. It became so popular that at one point, more gamers were playing Fortnite OG than any other mode as it skyrocketed past the one million concurrent player mark. Alongside that, fans have enjoyed tons of exciting collabs, items, and skins added to the game. However, it seems like that's not all, as the developers are reportedly gearing up to add some more fresh content to Fortnite.

In a new tweet, popular Fortnite leaker Blortzen revealed an interesting mechanic that might be coming to the game in the near future. Fortnite is reportedly preparing to add something similar to the Ripsaw Launcher, which is no longer available in the loot pool. The Ripsaw Launcher was added in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, before being vaulted in the next season. The upcoming feature is codenamed "SpikyBird," though little else is known at this point.
Fortnite Fans Think Chainsaw Man Collab Could Be On the Way
While it might seem like Fortnite is bringing back an old item at first glance, some fans think that this leak suggests a potential collab that might be coming to the game. Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc is slated to release in 2025, so Fortnite fans think that the developers might add something related to the movie. The leak only states that the feature will be related to the Ripsaw Launcher, and not the weapon itself, so the possibility of a collab may not be too farfetched.
Fortnite does seem to be gearing up for an eventful 2025, with a plethora of exciting features already being leaked to its dedicated community. One of the recent leaks suggested that Fortnite is potentially considering adding maps from Chapters 2-5 to the game's Reload mode. Considering that the Ripsaw Launcher was featured in Chapter 3, it wouldn't be surprising if it ended up also coming back along with the map. Fortnite fans are in for an exciting year ahead.
