With hints at an alien theme, fans immediately thought of the supposedly scrapped crossover withMetroid’s Samus Aran, which leaked due to the Epic Games v. Apple court case just last month.

Over on various social media platforms, the officialFortniteaccounts posted the latest in a series of short video teases that seem to hint at different wearables, consumables, weapons, and more coming in the game’s newest season. Fans immediately noticed that the Butter Robot from thehit adult cartoonRick and Mortyappears in the center of the teaser this time as well, which immediately sent fans into excited disarray.
While the Butter Robot has only appeared in one episode ofRick and Morty, it immediately resonated with fans for the irony of experiencing an existential crisis over its sole purpose being to pass butter at the dining table. Specifically, on Twitter, the new Season 7 tease came with a caption mentioning the Butter Robot as a “transportation bot,” which is reportedly capable of transporting the “bone modification liquid"shown in an earlierFortniteteaser.
So, it looks like the Butter Robot will have something to do with the new Milk item coming toFortnite. The new teaser also came with a link for the Chapter 2 Season 7 story cinematic set to premiere late tonight at 12 AM PT.
While the Butter Robot making an appearance inFortniteis interesting, fans are curious to see if anything else fromRick and Mortywill show up in the game. The cartoon is no stranger to collaborating with other IPs from various media, including theRick and Morty-themed items appearinginRocket Leagueand other games.
Last week,Fortniteplayers began noticing the appearances ofspooky TV sets in their in-game lobbies,which they were also tasked with destroying in matches as part of a new Quest. As Chapter 2 Season 7 rapidly approaches, fans should be sure to complete any final Battle Pass Quests before it’s too late.
Fortniteis available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
