Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Will Bring More Sprites
Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite players will retain their sprite collections when Chapter 7 Season 4 begins, with additional sprites joining the game. The decision matters because sprites became a major progression feature in Season 3, although some players have criticised their collection requirements as overly time-consuming and driven by fear of missing out.
Sprites are collectible creatures that grant perks, earn experience through gameplay, and can be levelled up; successful extraction or a match win preserves progress and awards Sprite Dust for rewards. Season 4, themed around Gaming Legends, will add the Sprite Garden island, where existing sprites will remain accessible, and include five fan-designed sprites with effects such as extra ammunition, loot gathering, defensive bees, improved movement, and brief wall-penetrating player detection.
In short
- Sprite collections will carry into Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4.
- Season 4 adds Sprite Garden and five community-designed sprites.
- Some players say collecting rare sprites has become a grind.
Explained simply
Fortnite is an online game in which players compete in matches and unlock rewards as they play. Its seasons bring new themes and features, and players can carry some progress from one season into the next.
Sprites are collectible creatures introduced as a progression feature. Players can level them up to gain gameplay perks and experience, while keeping their progress by escaping a match successfully or winning it; Sprite Dust can be used for rewards.
The next season is due to include a place called Sprite Garden and five designs created by fans. Their perks are expected to affect ammunition, loot, defence, movement and spotting opponents, adding to a system some players have found time-consuming to complete.
