For some days now, there has been rumbling in Fortnite. Players are already speculating about what these sounds could mean. Some are already suspecting the earthquake event.
What happened? Only players who have their game sound turned up can hear it: A very quiet rumble while you are navigating the map of Fortnite.
These sounds are likely related to the earthquake event, which data miners have already found in the code of the latest patch. Exact details about the event are not yet known, but the rumbling would fit with an earthquake.
This indicates the earthquake event
Here’s what is known about the event so far: A folder named “Earthquake” was found in the Fortnite Patch 7.30. More folders related to events around the Super Bowl and DJ Marshmello were also found. Those events have already taken place. Now only the earthquake event is missing.
In another leak, data miners showed a sound file that sounds like earthquake noises. This rumbling is comparable to the sounds that can also be heard in the game until now. In the game, the sound is just significantly quieter.
Is Season 8 coming now? Many assume that the prisoner skin could be related to the rumbling and an earthquake. In previous seasons, there was also a special skin that appeared at the end of the season and initiated the next one.
The prisoner skin has disappeared from his prison and has not appeared yet. Many see him as a kind of fire king who could split the Fortnite map with a massive earthquake.
When can we expect more about the earthquake event? The season 7 ends on February 28. If the prisoner skin is connected with the earthquake and the new season, we should learn more about the event soon.
Possibly, with the next patch, which is expected as early as next week, new content will be added that brings some more clarity about the earthquake event.
So far, we can only continue to hear a quiet rumble that stands out from the bustle of Fortnite.
Many players believed that the prisoner skin was related to the new campfire:
