Epic Games continues its very strange teaser campaign for Fortnite’s upcoming Chapter 2, Season 2. It’s a long-awaited season that’s come after the longest, and most boring, season of Fortnite to-date.

In the run-up to the new season, Epic has dropped a series of strange teasers. The studio’s social media accounts have also had their avatar and cover photos changed to show the mysterious golden hand (pictured above). And items in the game’s map have started turning gold as well, as though King Midas has made his way into Fortnite somehow.

The teasers started dropping on social media this Monday. Usually Epic will post one teaser image a day, but Monday we saw four imagesâ€"or one image that slowly became more and more clearly a face. The tweets included the words “Transmission Intercepted.” You can read all about those teasers here.

Day 2 continued this strange run of teasers, though only three dropped this time. They included dynamite, propane tanks and a torpedo. The words Classified appeared in all these tweets.

Now, on Day 3, with just about 24 hours to go, another teaser image has been posted. This one is perhaps the strangest so far. The word “Declassififeowied” appears above redacted words. The words Nine Lives appear in the image itself.

And I don’t know about you, but that looks like what could be a submarine and sonar, right?

If that’s a submarine, that brings added context to the torpedo teaser from last night:

Submarines coming to Fortnite certainly is the next logical step after Chapter 2, Season 1’s boats. The new map has a lot more water, after all, though one could argue it ought to be deeper if we’re getting this type of craft.

Still, at this point it seems more than likely that submarines are coming. Along with lots of gold. I’m more confused by the “Declassifeowied” bit and the “Nine Lives” which seem to tease cats. That’s like the word Declassified if a cat said it (with the meow in there) and Nine Lives also screams cats. A cat skin? A shadowy cat organization? I guess we’ll see.
