The leaker posted images of what the sky will look like in Fortnite: Battle Royale across the course of the next week and it appears that the many Rifts will consolidate down into one big crack in the sky.
So what does Epic have in store for Season 6 with Fortnite: Battle Royale? That part isn’t entirely clear but there is plenty of speculation going around as to what the new overarching theme will be. Season 5 brought with it some of the biggest changes we’ve seen to the game to date, and players seem to be enjoying the sweeping changes that Epic releases with each season in the game.
With Season 5 the Fortnite map changed considerably, with Season 6 it looks like we know at least one thing that’s going to be going away and that’s the rifts.
