Epic Games continues with more cryptic teasers, as Fortnite Season 7: Invasion is in full swing. What does the Hot Saucer leak exactly refer to? We try to unpack these leaks and tell you what exactly will happen next in Fortnite Season 7.
Epic Games has decided for Season 7 that everything will be shrouded in mystery, and information will be slowly leaked to different content creators. Some of the more popular content creators even received strange recordings from Epic.
This very viral marketing approach fits perfectly with the theme of UFOs and aliens. Like, let’s be honest, the alien invasion theme is out of control. Literally everywhere on the island, you see alien stuff, and Epic went hard on this Season's theme, whereas other seasons were far more subdued. The second you drop from the Battle Bus, you see UFOs swarming the sky, and you can even jump on top of them to fill out your loadout quickly. It seems we have more UFOs in our future, but now we are suddenly calling them Hot Saucers. Why?
Epic Games continues the alien mystery with a tweet on their Fortnite account, warning us that IO forces are gathering in the western region of the island for some kind of attack. They reference Hot Saucers in this post, but it is only the hashtag.
Heads up Saucers, this one's a doozy! Just intercepted an IO call that Alien ground troops have begun mobilizing west. Islanders should be on high alert. #HotSaucersLeaks

It was not only the official Fortnite Twitter that teased us with upcoming content. The Spanish, Middle-East and Russian Fortnite Twitter account also had fresh pictures to share. Shoutout to iFiremonkey, one of the top Fortnite Data Miners in the info-leak Twitter meta.

What is Hot Saucer?
Judging by the leaked photos, we assume that Hot Saucer is hinting that the Alien Mothership will arrive soon and play a large role in the next part of Season 7’s story. Expect some kind of update to Fortnite Season 7 in the next 24 hours, which also lines up with the end of week 4’s legendary quests. However, nothing has been confirmed and this is mere speculation!
- Still, need some XP for your Battle Pass? Well, look no further than our dedicated Challenge Guide Section.
The next Fortnite update is rumored to contain a Lebron James skin, and what does LeBron James have to do with aliens, you might ask? Well, besides having otherworldly basketball skills, he is also starring in the upcoming remake of Space Jam! This is a movie literally about aliens abducting the best basketball players to play in a cosmic basketball tournament. So the timing on this is perfect, and once again, Epic shows us they are the masters of hype marketing.
There's more to Fortnite than hot skins... like our News Section. But hey, we got both, so you're set either way!
