Omnihanded Entertainmet News | Fortnite Chapter Seven Teasers Hint At Kill Bill Collaboration

The Simpsons have taken over Fortnite for the month of November, but players won’t be sneaking around Springfield forever. A few hints for Fortnite Chapter 7 have started to emerge, and signs point to the immanent arrival of The Bride, a character played by Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2.

Fortnite content creator NickEh30 posted a teaser for Chapter Seven that has a set of coordinates that lead to the Hollywood sign. The text in the teaser says, “Now Playing / Zero Hour / Chapter Seven / Fortnite After Dark With Q&U.” In Kill Bill, Q&U was the abbreviation that Tarantino and Thurman used for their collaboration.

The new season of Fortnite should arrive near the end of November, which be only a few days before the release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair on December 5. Both halves of Tarantino’s movie have been edited back into a single film of this limited theatrical event. That may explain the timing of The Bride’s Fortnite debut. If other Kill Bill characters appear, we wouldn’t bet against the Deadly Vipers, the Crazy 88, or even Bill himself.

Fortnite characters were also spotted at the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series victory celebration in Los Angeles. One of the signs held up said, “Game 7 first, Chapter Seven Next!!” The “Nov 29” date in the sign held by Big Dill may also be the launch point for Chapter Seven.

Fans have also noticed that Chapter Seven is breaking format slightly by listing the number as a word. That’s led to speculation about the return of The Seven, an enigmatic team of helmeted characters who haven’t been seen in the game for a long time.

As reported by IGN, separate rumors about a desert biome and an Area 51-like location has some fans speculating that a Fallout collaboration may also be coming. However, that’s pure speculation at this point.

For now, if you’ve had your eye on the the Kang and Kodos glider, there’s an easy way to get it for free. Fortnite dataminers are also reporting that there may soon be some crossovers with SpongeBob SquarePants and Harry Potter.

Black Ops 7 launch times for the full game

Black Ops 7 launches at midnight local time on November 14 for PlayStation, Xbox, and Xbox on PC, which means the game will be available at 3 AM PT on November 13, but you can only play that early if you live in New Zealand (more on that later). Battle.net and Steam users, meanwhile, can start playing at 9 PM PT on November 13, which works out to midnight Eastern on November 14.

The New Zealand trick

Given that New Zealand is so far ahead of people in the US and UK, you might be wondering if it’s possible to trick your console or PC into thinking you live in the country where there are more sheep than people. This trick worked with Black Ops 6, and may work again with Black Ops 7.

People should know, however, that Microsoft does not want you to do this. In any event, here’s a rundown of how it should work.

Xbox:

Power up console and head to the Settings

Select “System”

Select “Language and Location”

Change your location to New Zealand

Restart your console

Load up Black Ops 7 to start playing

Xbox on PC:

Download the Xbox on PC app

Change your PC region to New Zealand

Change your Call of Duty account to New Zealand.

Ensure changes are saved

Boot the game

PlayStation:

Go to the Call of Duty website

Click on your profile and select “Basic Info”

Enter a New Zealand address

Make sure the changes save and load up Black Ops 7

Game Pass

Black Ops 7 will be available at launch on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. While those two subscription services recently saw major price hikes, most major retailers are sticking with the old prices, so you don’t actually have to pay more if you buy a membership right now. Game Pass Ultimate remains $20 at GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, and others.
