Fortnite Sky Crack Fan Theory Points to Time Travel by the Visitor

The Fortnite rocket launch event that took place Saturday, June 20th was a grand spectacle that caused a massive crack to appear in the sky of the battle royale game's world and has caused the appearance of portals around the map. These major changes have begin a massive amount of speculation by the Fortnite community regarding what exactly Epic Games has in store for the community with the aftermath of the rocket launch for the remainder of Season 4 and the beginning of Season 5. 

With the rocket having been launched from the villain lair, many theories have pointed to the Visitor character, the Fortnite Blockbuster skin reward, as being a villain whose launch of the rocket was the beginning of an evil plan. However, one Fortnite community member posted a very interesting fan theory about what the crack in the sky caused by the rocket launch will mean for players and the game itself in the near future. 

"The Visitor came from a different time period, most likely the future. The hop rocks were "samples" of what his technology was capable of accomplishing.Omega/Carbide/Valor/Venturion were all fake. They're simply the main characters of a super-hero movie franchise. The house and the villain lair are all props from the films," explained Fortnite community member TheCourierWatches. "The Visitor, dedicated to returning home, modifies the fake rocket into a functional time machine utilizing the hop rocks, and other samples of his time period's tech that fell on the island. The "cracks" you saw on the rocket's launch were tears upon the fabric of the space-time continuum. The Visitor did several loops through the island to get enough speed to completely RIP through space-time so he could go back home."

"Now, you may be wondering, why did the final crack stay while the others quickly vanished? Well, to put it simply, The Visitor f**ked up. He created such a large tear through our universe that he caused permanent damage to our dimension as a whole," TheCourierWatches continued. "So, theory time. What can we expect within the following weeks? The crack will get even bigger, and time will start "leaking" through it. Pieces of ancient and modern history will fall through the universe, causing the island to get a major visual revamp. Pretty much the exact thing that happened at the ending of the film Mr. Peabody and Sherman!"

Introducing a tear in the space-time continuum that could possibly allow for locations, items, creatures or other pieces from history to leak into the map would give Epic Games a very unique avenue and ability to make major changes to the map of Fortnite in a very creative way.

With the superhero and super villain character skins having been actors in a movie, perhaps the possible tear in time and space by the Visitor in the sky could allow for these actors to become the real versions of the characters they portray as in the movie, as they battle over what may be powerful and valuable items that may be introduced to the map of Epic Games' popular battle royale game through the sky crack caused by the Fortnite rocket launch.

While the community will not know the true consequences of the rocket launch in Fortnite until Epic Games reveals more information, there is no doubt that the community is highly anticipating for whatever the sky crack decides to bring to the world of the battle royale title.
