Worlds Collide Fortnite Season 5 Teaser - What Does it Mean?

In the same fashion that Epic Games was able to build an extreme amount of hype and excitement for Season 4 of Fortnite Battle Royale, the developer has been able to do the same for the upcoming Season 5 of Fortnite. 

From launching a rocket that caused a massive crack in the sky, to having mysterious rifts appearing around the map destroying landmarks and dropping historical items onto the map, a real life Durrr Burger sign appearing in a California Desert with agents handing out cards with phone numbers on them at the location, Epic Games is going all out in every teaser it has had for Season 5 of Fortnite. 

Now another Season 5 teaser has been revealed by Epic Games, as the developer posted an image of what looks to possibly be a Japanese Kitsune Mask surrounded by the same energy rift that is currently in the sky.

The in-game news section of Fortnite was also updated to show the first Fortnite Season 5 teaser image and the title of Worlds Collide above the message stating that Season 5 of Fortnite will begin three days from now on July 12th. 

These new developments in the buildup for the next season of Epic Games' popular battle royale game have the community perplexed and excited to see what the developer has in store for its players with the Worlds Collide theme and teaser.

Much of the speculation, rumors, and fan theories surrounding the theme of Season 5 of Fortnite have mainly been focused on time travel, as many believe that the Rocket launch was the Visitor character's (the Season 4 Blockbuster skin) method of going back to his own time period.

However, the aftermath of the rocket launch caused a massive tear in space and time that has appeared as the crack in the sky and the individual rifts that have appeared around the map. It has then been speculated that these rifts will be transforming certain areas of the map of Fortnite into different eras of time, such as Ancient Egypt, Greece, Vikings, the Wild West and more.

The theory of Season 5 of Fortnite transforming major parts of the map based on a vast array of historical time periods looks to be supported by the appearance of historical items on the map that have been teleported there by the rifts, as an anchor that looks to be from an ancient seafaring people and a Wild West stagecoach have both been added to the game recently. 

Also supporting the theory of different time periods being merged into one location is the in-game news message of World Collide that Epic Games added today with the Japanese Kitsune mask (Feudal Japan location and Samurai skins?) Fortnite teaser image. The phrase of Worlds Collide seems to heavily suggest that Season 5 will see a multitude of different worlds that could be seen as time periods merging together into the one location of the map. 

However, until Season 5 of Fortnite officially makes its debut on July 12th, the Worlds Collide teaser that Epic Games has thrown in the way of the community can only be speculated on regarding what its true meaning is.
