Fortnite players think new \u2018meteor\u2019 could hint at return to original map Epic GamesNew in-game teases have Fortnite players thinking that Travis Scott\u2019s Astronomical event could take us back in time to the original battle royale map. Fortnite\u2019s in-game events are always unique spectacles that bring the entire community together. Whether its a huge collaboration with Star Wars or a world-ending black hole, Epic always seems to be planning the next big thing. Travis Scott\u2019s series of in-game performances are up next as the rapper gets set to jump on stage starting April 23. However, a few subtle teases surrounding the new event have players confident that the game might return to its roots. Since the beginning of Chapter 2, Fortnite players have been treated to a brand new map referred to as \u2018Apollo.\u2019 This map replaced \u2018Athena\u2019 from the first Chapter as the original battleground was sucked into a black hole. Eagle-eyed players recently spotted a fascinating tease on the new Astro Jack skin that appears to hint at the old Fortnite map. Since then, another in-game teaser seems to have cropped up too, sending the community into a tizzy. Streaming a casual Fortnite session on April 22, popular YouTuber \u2018CronicGamerZ\u2019 appeared to spot a meteor in the distance. \u201cWhat was that damn thing?\u201d the streamer asked, seemingly unsure what just happened. A flicker of bright blue light appeared to crash at the very top of the player\u2019s screen for just a brief moment. It travelled down for a few seconds before phasing back out once again. While this may purely be an indication Travis Scott\u2019s event is close \u2013 as the purple Astroworld looms overhead \u2013 it could also tie back in with Astro Jack theories. Many avid Fortnite players are of the mindset another major shakeup that returns fans to the original map could be in store. This flicker of light could be hinting at another event like \u2018The End,\u2019 which destroyed the game\u2019s original battlefield. Perhaps Travis Scott\u2019s interdimensional travel is what brings the old landscape back with a bang. \u201cI\u2019m thinking it\u2019s the meteor showers that happened back in season 3, which could suggest that the old map is on the other side of the islands like on the Astro jack skin,\u201d Reddit user \u2018RaiD_Nightz\u2018 explained. We\u2019ll all just have to wait and see how things play out as the world-renowned rapper takes to the virtual stage on April 23. In the meantime, here are five things we can absolutely guarantee about the upcoming Astronomical event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
