Fortnite Pets: What You Need to Know About the New Cosmetic Feature

A well-known Fortnite leaker has disclosed new details about the upcoming pet cosmetics set to arrive in Chapter 6, Season 3. According to the leak, these pets will only be visible to the player using them and their teammates—not to opponents on the battlefield. This decision addresses prior concerns about potential visual clutter, particularly for players who prefer stealthy gameplay.

Krypto the Superdog May Join Fortnite as a Pet

Excitement around the new pet feature grew following reports that Krypto, Superman’s loyal dog, could be coming to the game. Krypto is expected to play a prominent role in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, which hits theaters on July 11. While it remains unclear whether Krypto will appear in the Item Shop or as a Battle Pass cosmetic tied to Superman, additional leaks suggest he may also appear through a unique in-game item.

This item, called Krypto’s Treat, functions similarly to a throwable grenade. Players can toss it at enemies to summon Krypto, who dramatically lands on the ground and causes area damage upon impact.

Leaked Visibility Details Offer Relief for Stealth-Focused Players

In a recent tweet, leaker Loolo_WRLD clarified that the new pets won’t be visible to enemy players—only the player using them and their squad will see them. This news was met with relief by many in the community, especially those concerned that moving pets might give away their positions during sneaky maneuvers.

By restricting visibility, Epic Games appears to be prioritizing fair play and minimizing unnecessary distractions in combat-heavy situations.

Release Date and Future Content Remain Unconfirmed

Although no official release date has been confirmed, multiple leakers are confident that pet cosmetics will debut during Chapter 6 Season 3. As with all unofficial information, fans are advised to remain cautious until Epic Games makes a formal announcement.

Meanwhile, rumors continue to swirl about a potential new mini-season and map, possibly themed around The Simpsons. Some speculate that Springfield may be introduced as a new location, with the map size being similar to that of Fortnite Reload. Whether or not these rumors materialize, one thing is certain: Fortnite's future looks packed with creative content and surprises that are keeping fans excited and engaged.
