Hey, Daily Quest readers.
Fortnite's new Squibbly skin might just be the key to solving one of the game's biggest mysteries. Evidence suggests Chapter 7, Season 2 was originally meant to be Viking-themed — before being replaced with the current rivalry between the Foundation and the Ice King.
And Squibbly is our proof.
The Viking Survey That Never Became A Season
Epic sometimes sends out character surveys to gauge interest in potential skins and themes. One survey included a bunch of Viking and Norse mythology-themed skins — suggesting a Viking season was on the horizon.
Many fans assumed Chapter 7, Season 2 would be it. Instead, we got Showdown — a rivalry theme with no Norse elements in sight.
Squibbly's Pin Tells The Tale
Enter Squibbly — the squid who inexplicably hates Fishsticks more than anyone on The Island. As pointed out by Twitter user SentinelCentral, Squibbly's original concept art showed them wearing a pin that said "NO VIKINGS."
That pin has since been changed to "NO FISHSTICKS."
This strongly suggests Squibbly was originally designed for the cancelled Viking season. When the theme got replaced, Epic reworked Squibbly's core trait — swapping Norse references for an obsession with Fishsticks.
Was The Viking Season Cancelled?
It sure looks like it. The Viking season was likely:
- Cancelled entirely
- Postponed indefinitely
- Heavily reworked into something unrecognizable
Epic might save some Viking concepts for later, but Squibbly is definitely no longer tied to any Norse theme.
Did Epic Actually Cook Here?
Here's the twist: Squibbly's Fishsticks hatred is arguably his most interesting trait. His bizarre vendetta against the battered fish is genuinely memorable.
Maybe Epic actually improved Squibbly by scrapping the Norse connection.
Final Thoughts
Squibbly's pin change tells us everything — Chapter 7, Season 2 was supposed to be Viking-themed, but those plans fell through. Whether we ever get a proper Norse season remains to be seen.
