It Really Seems Like TMNT Is Coming To Fortnite Soon
A brief tease in the Chapter 5 trailer and some datamined files indicate the long-rumored TMNT collab is finally happening.

It's starting to look very much like Fortnite Chapter 5 could deliver one of the most-anticipated collaborations in Fortnite's history: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While not yet confirmed, there are several pieces of very compelling evidence, including plenty of new stuff that was added to the game with the Chapter 5 patch, and two details that were introduced in the season trailer.
The first detail that caught everyone's eye was a glowing manhole cover in the trailer--the Turtles live in the sewer, after all--and then at the end of the trailer, in the fine print that you can read over the season key art, it lists a copyright notice by Viacom, the parent conglomerate of Paramount Pictures that owns the TMNT brand. It was tough not to jump to conclusions based on those two things. Fortunately, we've got even more evidence now that Fortnite dataminers have had time to look through the Chapter 5 files.
After actually playing some matches in Chapter 5, it turns out that the manholes currently function the same way as the old portal toilets--you jump in one manhole and pop out of another one some ways away. While there's nothing inherently TMNT-related about that, the manholes really are a TMNT thing, according to dataminers who have discovered a TMNT lair in the files that you'll be able to access through TMNT-branded manholes in the future.
