The Fortnite world has been losing its collective mind in the wake of a huge and mysterious missile launch that took place over the weekend. After shooting into the sky, the missile did some weird laser thing before flying through wormholes and leaving a big fat scar / crack in the game’s sky.
It’s also left a weird portal outside Lonely Lodge and a bunch of rocket parts strewn about the map.

What does it all mean, you ask? Well, frankly, no one really has any fucking idea, but it looked cool as hell. You can check out the launch in the video below.

As you’d expect, there’s a heap of theories around what’s going on, but also a lot of hysteria, which has lead people to… Ask Elon Musk?
Thoughts on the Fortnite missile @elonmusk? 🤔

One thing folks reckon the missile will do is allow time travel if the tear in the sky is some kind of rip in time and space like some people think it is.

That’s exactly what I said when I saw the rip.. this just might be epic and bring a new breath of life to this game

Another theory is that there could be a new map coming, whether it’s via the portal hanging around or the enormous pulsing crack in the sky. Some think the map is covered by some sort of dome, which might lead to a Truman Show-like reveal or something even weirder.
Sorry guys but I’m a fortnite player I’m sorry to disappoint y’all
In the meantime fortnite THEORY!!!!
since the rocket now exploded the sky and left a crack on it we can say this is actually a simulation we’re playing and everyone’s lives is a lie as we’re entertainment for

Welp, I guess we’ll have to wait and see what it actually turns out to be, but until then, please enjoy this dude absolutely losing his mind over the whole thing.
