With only a few days left before Season 8 kicks off, Epic Games has shared the first teaser image on Twitter.
The picture clearly features a pirate hook and is accompanied by a description that is bursting with nautical pirate references about treasure:
“‘X’ Marks The Spot
Treasure abound
Loot that has been lost
Can always be found.
4 days to Season 8.”
Players are speculating that the cracks that have appeared across the map will result in the landmass splitting into smaller islands.
The potential island theory is gaining momentum thanks to a comment made by the game’s lead designer, Eric Williamson, in a recent AMA on Reddit.

When asked to describe Season 8 in four words, Williamson replied “Bananas” four times. The response was made even more mysterious thanks to the odd numbering, which you can check out below.
Understandably, the prospect of pirates and sailing around the map has Twitter users drawing comparisons with Rare’s Sea of Thieves.
We’ll no doubt see more teases over the coming days, which should give us a better idea of what lies in store.
For now, you can keep up with all of the Season 8 rumours right here.
