In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Switch & Xbox One) there was recently the long-awaited rocket launch. After that, there were suddenly cracks in the sky. And they are getting bigger!
What happened over the weekend? For weeks, Epic teased Fortnite players with the rocket at Snobby Shores. The thing was apparently loaded with Hop Rocks, continuously upgraded, and multiple countdowns appeared in the end. The last one pointed to June 30, 2018. And indeed, the rocket launched on that day!
The rocket event was a huge success! But instead of devastating Tilted Towers, the rocket created a sort of crack in the sky. The players were completely thrilled, the rocket event was a total success!
And then, clever players have now discovered: The cracks are growing and more and more of them are appearing!
More cracks are appearing!
What is going on with the cracks? Shortly after the rocket launched, the crack in the sky was clearly visible, but still quite small. Today, on July 2, 2018, it is bigger than ever! The crack in the sky now fills more than the whole screen and continues to branch out more and more. Players have measured it, and it can be assumed that it is growing hourly!
Even more cracks have appeared! Meanwhile, the crack in the sky was not the only rupture in the world of Fortnite. In some spots in the game world, even more anomalies like this have occurred:
- A small crack has formed at the large wooden house in Lonely Lodge. It buzzes threateningly and has destroyed the sign in front of the house.
- At the motel, a crack has also formed on the sign.
Is the Fortnite map about to break?
What do the cracks mean? Some players have already noticed that the crack looks like someone has damaged a glass dome. Is the entire Fortnite world perhaps just a kind of mini-dimension under some sort of dome? Has the rocket irreparably damaged the fundamental integrity of the world?
The end of a map? This would mean that the world of Fortnite, as we know it, is doomed. There will probably be more and more changes to the map until it collapses completely on July 12, 2018 (the end of Season 4).
But what comes next? Some players – and we here at Mein-MMO.de – believe that with the start of Season 5 on July 12, 2018, a new map could also come. The old map will probably irretrievably implode and make way for something completely new. But until then, there will probably still be many exciting changes on the current map!
