Things have been getting extremely weird in Fortnite over the last couple of days, and fans think Season 5’s dimension-hopping rift malarky is about to come to a head in the form of a live in-game event very soon indeed.
It wasn’t long ago that Fortnite players began to notice that the rift, which was torn open above Battle Royale island as part of Season 4’s ultimately disastrous live rocket launch, had begun to close – and since then, rift activity has been off the charts.
Yesterday saw the surprise arrival of a Mayan-like temple in-game, replacing the rather bland Tomato Towers retail area to the north-west of the island. Epic’s has been refining its environmental storytelling skills ever since its much trumpeted meteor strike at the end of Fortnite’s season 4, and its recent off-screen story shenanigans have so-far most prominently focussed on the giant plastic tomato head that originally crowned Tomato Town’s pizza parlour.
