My sister said hello to me through Fortnite 🥹 from r/FortNiteBR

At the time, the official Fortnite Team account replied, “thank you so much for sharing this moment with us,” but the developers went further than a simple response.

Following the game’s most recent update, lolwhoopsTavi posted again: “From the bottom of my heart, thank you Fortnite. I woke up to a few DMs this morning telling me that Fortnite had added a statue to commemorate my baby sister Olive. I am in genuine disbelief that this is happening all for me and my sister and our family and I am beyond grateful for this.”

A new screenshot shows a Roly Poly statue with the name Olive engraved on its base. Players report the memorial sits near Foxy Floodgates, close to a Slurp truck.

Other players have been visiting the memorial to pay their respects. “I brought your sister some roses,” one commenter shared, attaching a screenshot of their character by the statue. “Left your sister a crown. Sorry for your loss,” wrote another.
