Fortnite Rift Mystery: Skeleton Surfaces in Moisty Mire

Fortnite: Battle Royale Introduces Another Random Object

Fans of Fortnite: Battle Royale were not surprised to discover yet another random object appearing in the game.

A skeleton has made its appearance at the location where the eighth portal was found in Moisty Mire yesterday.

Portals have been appearing across the Fortnite map since the rocket launch on June 30. Other rifts were found at Lonely Lodge, Motel, Tomato Town, Retail Row, Greasy Grove, a random mountain between Greasy Grove and Snobby Shores, and a small hill between Prison and Moisty Mire.

However, these portals are not just for show. Approximately 24 hours after their appearance, the portals either grow in size and strength, cause a sign or part of a building to disappear, or unveil a random object.

In this instance, the skeleton signifies the third consecutive portal that has brought a random object into the Fortnite map. Previously, an anchor and a wagon emerged from the portals near Snobby Shores and the Prison, respectively.

While it is not entirely clear how these three objects are connected, the most popular theory is that season five will involve some form of time travel, which could explain the appearance of these older items.

Regardless of the meaning behind this collection of bones, Fortnite fans are eagerly awaiting the exciting plans that Epic Games has in store for the future of this incredibly popular game.
