Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 faces bot lobby backlash and Persona 5 leaks

The launch of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 has been met with mixed reactions from the player community. While the new ‘Override’ season features various crossovers including Sonic the Hedgehog, Tetris, and Pac-Man, players are reporting significant issues with matchmaking.

Users have raised concerns regarding a high density of bots in game lobbies. Reports suggest that in some 100-player matches, real player counts have dropped to as few as 25, leading to demands for an overhaul of the skill-based matchmaking system.

Additionally, leaks regarding a highly anticipated Persona 5 collaboration suggest that while the crossover was teased early in the season, dataminers predict the release may not occur until September 2026. If accurate, the collaboration could include multiple skins such as Joker, Ryuji Sakamoto, and Ann Takamaki, alongside potential sidekicks and vehicles.
