Ever since the heroes and villains arrived at the beginning of Season 4 in Fortnite, there has been a base of operations for each faction. While the good guys had a nice mansion on one side of the map, the baddies had a bunker that doubles as a missile silo just outside of Snobby Shores.

When the countdown began, everyone knew something was up. That’s when Epic announced that a one-time worldwide event would take place within Fortnite – A rocket would be launched. Well, that event has now passed, and the internet is freaking out over what exactly took place. Before we get into some of the best reactions, here’s a clip from the top Twitch streamer himself:

As can be seen, quite a bit more than just a rocket launching happened. Now that there is a crack in the sky, a booster in Anarchy Acres, and who knows what else, surely the internet can come up with some top-notch theories.

The crack in the sky in @FortniteGame is how you get out of the game back into real life.

Good luck.

Yeah the #Fortnite rocket launch was cool, but it wasn’t cooler than when you tipped the iceberg in Club Penguin pic.twitter.com/3nO78wlVrU

Needless to say, whatever Fortnite has planned for Season 5, it’s going to be truly epic. Could we be getting an alien invasion? Could our little island of destruction be transported to another time and space? We’ll just have to wait for the arrival of the next season in a couple weeks.

Fortnite is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One, and iOS devices. Keep it tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as this story develops, and for other gaming goodness going on right now, check out the following:
