Dinosaurs Coming Soon to Fortnite. Leaking Hints on the Fortnite x Jurassic World Crossover
Even though Fortnite Season 6 has just kicked off, we already have information on what could be added to the game during the season, including the possibility of wild dinosaurs and velociraptors roaming the map.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 has been underway for a full week now, with fans diving deeper and deeper into the primal-themed season. Everything in this season has some sort of "wild" theme, whether it's animal bone weapons or a raid on Lara Croft's tombs.
While fans still haven't had enough time to find everything season 6 has to offer, we already know that roaming dinosaurs could be coming to the Island in the near future thanks to new information from well-known Fortnite leaders.
We could possibly see Raptors getting added in the future als wildlife.

Dinosaurs may appear in Fortnite
The first leak comes from the information provider Forttory on Twitter, which reported that there are lines referring to the Raptors. In particular, the following lines are included: "Wild lizard destroyed {PlayerName}" and "Wild lizard knocked out {PlayerName}", which, to put it mildly, is rather specific.
It has also been reported that these predators will appear in the forest and be hostile when spotted by NPCs such as wolves and wild boars. iFireMonkey also wrote that Predators will be tameable so that players can use them as allies.
The codename for the unreleased "Raptor" Wildlife animal is "Robert".

They will work like the Boar & Wolves, being hostile on sight.
While it's always important to take leaks and rumors with a grain of salt, this fits in perfectly with the rest of the season. Animals have already been represented in the game as wolves and boars , and dinosaurs have already been hinted at by one of the battle pass characters.
Tarana items and outfits that are unlocked between 23rd and 37th season 6 battle pass levels, somehow connected with the theme of dinosaurs. Her level 37 costume even has a lizard skull on her head.
Fortnite dinosaur eggs?
While the leaks regarding dinosaurs from both FortTory and iFireMonkey are pretty strong evidence that they're coming to the battle royale title, Epic Games has now had some fun too.
In their Season 6 tips article released on March 22, Epic Games mentioned eggs on the island and stated that "I don't want to touch that yet." They also said players "should stay away too" when talking about eggs.
In addition, as mentioned by FortTory, the game already has eggs that are "wildlife related". While nothing is certain, it could hint that dinosaurs/predators will be in the game sooner than we think.
A new tip from Epic 🤔

Will Fortnite get a Jurassic World crossover?
With Season 6's theme being Primal, the Battle Pass includes a dinosaur-themed Tarana costume, and now there are leaks of raptors roaming the Island, many players are speculating that a Jurassic World crossover might be in the works.
When the jungle-themed location Secret Stronghold was introduced in Season 6, some initially believed that the location was in Jurassic Park. It turns out that the place was indeed made for the Predator, but there's no reason why it can't be used for dinosaurs in Season XNUMX.
Only time will tell when Raptops will be added and if they will be part of the Jurassic crossover. I hope it's not for long.
