What Happened in Fortnite Today? Rocket Launch Cracks Sky of Fortnite
By Nicholas Barth ·
The highly anticipated Fortnite rocket launch has finally taken place and, and it has cracked the entire sky of Fortnite Battle Royale!
Epic Games has once again delivered another adrenaline pumping event to the world of Fortnite Battle Royale with the Fortnite rocket launch that just took place from the villain lair.
The launch of the Fortnite weapon was teased by Epic Games by sirens, countdowns, and a beam of light from the villain's lair being introduced into Fortnite ahead of today's rocket launch. On Friday, June 29th Epic Games finally announced the date and time of the launch and that it would be a one-time only event to view.
Precisely at 10:30 AM PST on Saturday, June 30th, the rocket launched from the villain's lair and made its way to the atmosphere of the map. Once it had made its way into the top of the sky of the map, what looked to be a satellite or probe of some kind was launched from the rocket. A booster from the rocket also was seen crash landing in Anarchy Acres.
The mysterious probe or satellite from the massive weapon then made a straight path to Tilted Tower with a red laser pointed at the infamous location, as it headed to the area at destructive speeds. However, the object did not destroy Tilted Towers Towers. A display of blinding light and energy from the object then followed that ultimately led to the a destructive force of energy cracking the sky of Fortnite open.

It remains to be seen what else behind the scenes that the mysterious rocket launch from the villain lair of Fortnite has in store players for Season 5. A voice could be heard from the object that launched from the rocket and caused the crack in the sky, which could possibly be either the Omega or Visitor character skins who are speculated to be the masterminds of the massive landscape altering event that took place Saturday, June 30th.
