Fortnite is nearing the end of Chapter 2, aptly titled "The End," and players are already speculating about what the next chapter will involve. Although one well-known Fortnite leaker may have a few answers for the curious, Epic Games is keeping its cards relatively close to its breast, so the present sprinkling of details is at best minimal.

After purportedly spotting seagulls in some concept drawings for the new content, Fortnite leaker and content producer HYPEX said that they will be arriving in Chapter 3 as the next flying creatures. Little is known about how the birds will be included in the game at the moment, especially because seagulls do exist in the game already, albeit as more aesthetic pieces that are occasionally spotted flying around the island.

Seagulls coming in Chapter 3 as the next flying animals. They are in one of Chapter 3's concept arts near a tropical/beach area but idk when exactly they'll release, most likely Season 1.

It's definitely reasonable to assume that, like the ravens and sharks in Chapter 2, they'll be a real interactable animal, part of the island's huntable species.

HYPEX also hinted that some UI changes would be coming in Chapter 3, sharing a screenshot with a new Online Friends symbol and a different-located Settings button. HYPEX has a good track record when it comes to leaks; their claims of a Fortnite/Naruto crossover event were confirmed less than a week later.

Looks like Epic will change the UI again in Chapter 3, here's 1 change that I could find so far and it's the settings button being removed from top right and moved to top left (merged with friends list), and the online friends icon will change too as you can see in the top left. pic.twitter.com/xd24zFPD0R
