Fortnite Season Seven: Mysterious Earthquakes Shake the Island
As Fortnite: Battle Royale’s seventh season comes to a close, players are experiencing strange and unexplained events during their matches. One of these events, the earthquakes, has already begun.
Several players have reported feeling the ground shake during their Battle Royale matches. These earthquakes occur at different times, and it’s unclear if there is a pattern yet. One player recorded and shared their experience on Twitter, while another did the same on Reddit.
The earthquakes in Fortnite are notably strong. There is a distinct sound effect that plays as the screen starts to shake, indicating that something unusual is happening.
These two players experienced earthquakes at different times, suggesting that the tremors occur sporadically. So far, there have been no visible changes to the game’s landscape resulting from the earthquakes.
However, leakers have discovered clues hinting at a special event associated with the earthquakes. A folder named “Earthquake” was found in Fortnite’s game files, suggesting that this event is yet to occur. It’s reasonable to assume that the earthquakes are tied to the conclusion of season seven.
Players have learned from previous seasons that these types of events often foreshadow major changes. For instance, at the end of season six, players witnessed a massive iceberg approaching the island, later transforming into the Ice Castle at Polar Peak. Therefore, the earthquakes are likely signaling impending map alterations for season eight.
It’s anticipated that the intensity of the earthquakes will escalate as we approach the end of the season on February 28th, and small map changes will start to unfold as a result. Ultimately, these earthquakes will culminate in a significant change for season eight.Read More
