The wildly popular battle royale game Fortnite has seen plenty of changes since its original launch all the way back in 2017. The free to play title continues to receive updates and new content on a consistent basis to keep fans engaged and coming back time and time again. Each season also introduces a new storyline for players to take part in, typically including themed content, battle pass, and even NPCs to interact with.
While many are humanoid, Fortnite has also included wildlife, monsters, and even sentient cubes such as one that was referred to as "Kevin" by the fans. Back in Chapter 3, Season 1, Fortnite added a dinosaur looking creature called Klombo, which would roam the map that could eat items fed to it by players like a Klomberry to receive something in return. At the time, these creatures were unkillable, though attacking one caused it to fly into a rage for 30 seconds. Based on the latest leak, Klombos appear primed to return, though this time, Epic may have different ideas for how to utilize them.
According to prominent Fortnite leaker HYPEX, Epic is not only bringing back Klombos in an upcoming season, but players will now be able to take them out during matches. Based on some information they found, Klombos will be able to drop 15 different types of loot ranging from ammo, materials, consumables, and possibly even weapons. It's unknown if these new Klombos are generally hostile towards players, or if they'll continue to roam around until they're attacked first.
The discovery was seemingly made following the addition of another item called NPC Meat. Apparently, this item is also tied to Klombos, who, along with dropping loot for the player, will also be dropping this special version of meat. It's unknown what the meat will do, though many appear to be speculating it'll give Fortnite players a buff when consumed. There's also no timetable on when Klombos could be coming back, though there are some hoping it'll be during the upcoming Season 3.
Then again, players may need to wait a bit longer as a few recent leaks reveal that Star Wars is also coming back to Fortnite very soon. Earlier in April, dataminers discovered that Darth Vader will be joining Fortnite as a boss battle encounter. Recently, another new discovery revealed that Lightsabers were also coming back to the game, possibly as soon as May 4, a day that is typically revered as a Star Wars Day. Leaks also seemingly confirm that Lightsaber effects have been updated and players will have special challenges to complete alongside them as well.
Fortnite is currently available on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
