Twitter user Theme Snark spotted theFortniteBattle Bus atUniversal Studios' California theme park, catching it in multiple stages of development. The first photo Theme Snark shared showed a very basic blue school bus, while the second photo resembled what manyFortnitefans know as the Battle Bus. Finally, Theme Snark’s third photo showed theFortniteBattle Bus in “night mode.”
The night mode ofFortnite’s Battle Busis clad in pink and blue neon lights, while the V-Buck symbol is fittingly placed in the center of the roof. Both sides of the Battle Bus have neon arrows pointing forwards, but it’s missing the balloon that allows it to float across the battle royale island. It’s currently unclear if a balloon will be added to the Battle Bus in the future, but if it is, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a Fortnitemares-inspired floatation device.
Universal Studios owns the rights to many amazing franchises thatFortnitemay be greeted by in the future, such asFast and Furious,Minions,Chucky, andHalloween. Considering theFortniteBattle Bus is appearing at Universal Studios during Halloween Horror Nights, it may be teasing more horror movie-themed skins such as Michael Myers, The Mummy, or Van Helsing. It’s not too far out of the realm of possibility, as Frankenstein’s Monster is a Universal character that wasrecently added to Epic Games' battle royaleas part of this year’s Fortnitemares.
Fortniteis available right now for mobile, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
