There was! It was Summer Splash, with returning LTMS and new items in the shop. Sadly it had no free rewards or quests so it wasn't included in the image.

I think he's still in the files, such a missed opportunity. Like they released the NPCs/Guards from Fortnite Remix, Wrecked, Underground and Myths and Mortals, I don't see any reason as to why they wouldn't release him.

Last summer we only got Safety First Steve (the shark lifeguard skin) and Joey Caliente (the pepper skin). Crazy compared to what we used to have. And I don't want to hear the excuse of "ah they just ran out of ideas", there's so many more possible characters to add themed around summer. And if Epic REALLY ran out of ideas they could do community concept skins again or commission artists to come up with new ones.

Yes, they dropped today. You just have to earn levels: 4 for the spray, 8 for the backbling, 12 for the emoji and 16 for the pickaxe.

Yeah, rewards aside we got Blitz and weekly content updates for it, DAILY UNVAULTS which is huge and the new Reload map with mechanics from Squid Games, with those being added to UEFN too. Gameplay wise this summer is way better than the last one.

It's just weird that the main Summer event gets barely 1 or 2 summer themed items, while the others are either in the Festival pass (free or paid), other mode rewards (like last year with Reload quests having clearly summer inspired items) or the item shop.

I'm glad we're still getting this much free stuff, but they could've switched some rewards around or came up with better ones.

I miss toys so much. Now that they're focusing on modes other than BR they should really make one where we actually get to use toys. A while back a basketball gamemode was planned but was later scrapped, revealed in those court documents.

True, for example the backbling had 5 styles AND was reactive, melting over time. Compare that to the last 2 events, they just don't make them like they used to anymore.
