In a new twist on Fortnite's aim to collaborate with almost everything, it seems the game has now seeped into real life. In a Tweet recently posted by iFireMonkey, we learned that as of May 18, 2021, crop circles that appear in-game in Fortnite have real-world replicas.
For clarity: there is not enough information to determine if this is a hoax. Like the actual crop circles, it is entirely possible that these photos are not real. That said, here's a look at tweets from iFireMonkey that have players wondering how far Epic Games are going with this new season.
Here is a close up of the crop circle IRL, and here are the coordinates of the three locations!

We are not convinced that the coordinates are that important, considering that there is only one week left before the release of the new season. Still, Fortnite's tendency to increase hype for big events and season changes never ceases to amaze.
This crossover with the real world is vaguely familiar from the marketing stunts pulled by Epic Games for the Chapter 2 Season 5 transition, in which some people visited real-life locations related to Zero Point and Durr Burger and received information and V-bucks of actors on the stage. Aliens have always been a hot topic of conversation for many people. So if this is a swipe to go with this marketing strategy, then they've got the hype up to an art form (both figuratively and literally, based on the images shown). -above).
