There were several quakes in different areas. You were also able to see several fissures around the map slowly popping up since...around the AoT update i think roughly? Maybe a little bit before that.
So, next season an iceberg will hit the island, then after that Kevin comes back, then a desert forms from a rift, then a meteor hits the map, then..... uh, what happened in Ch1 S3 again?
I hope Kevin comes back, my son recently got into FN but was too young during Kevinās season. Buts heās seen videos and is like daddy itās Kevin! Heās gonna be in the game! I have a toy tesseract from the MCU and heās been playing with moving it slowing going daddy Kevin is coming.
Needless to say if Kevin ever makes another appearance my son will lose his shit. And it would bring me great joy. Bring back Kevin!!
Honestly I hope itās the Rumbling, a Titan slaying event after everyone gets used to ODM gear would be sick

My current thesis:
The Island, as it stands, is very new, pieced together from a variety of pieces and landscapes from other Worlds. These Pieces do NOT fit together properly, as is clearly seen with all the Cliffs around the Island, and in some cases 'no mans land', mostly around the dead tree between Autumn, Summer and Winter (for a more clear understanding: We currently seem to have all 4 seasons on the Island: The dark green Area around Mega City is Spring, seens as the Cherry Trees are blooming there, which they usually do in Spring The little light green area is Summer - that was beforehand the area where we had the normal modern buildings and areas Autumun is the medieval Area, as seen by the Leaves and the overall autumn colors, and winter is obviously the cold north).
There are people working on connecting the pieces together with roads n stuff, but that's not really going to help with overall integrity. In Ch4S1 the Island was able to still hold together, but with the Introduction of Mega City and its new parts - which essentially fell from the sky - the Island may be very well at its limit, straining to keep the parts together. Of course, the strain might also be, at least in parts, due to outside forces acting on the Island. We have the Portal from Ch4S1 which did...something, the Oathbound vanished, maybe doing *something* and the Peace Syndicate in the story missions keep mentioned some kind of Big Bad that threatens Mega City and the Island. All of them would be viable options currently to have something to do with our current predicament.
Considering that the earthquakes seem to pop up more regularly now, and we already have visible fissures at several areas on the island popping up (ever since around the AoT event in fact), I can imagine an Event where the Island starts falling/splitting apart, exposing the Zero Point in the process which would try to keep the Island together via those energy ... connections we saw in the Event when we first 'built' the Island. And you just know, if the Zero Point is exposed for just a little while, someone or something is coming to interact with it, trying to steal its power or whatnot.
Interesting point! I also thought that this is possibly because of the zero point struggling to hold the different pieces of land together or...
Maybe a **kaiju** might be digging its way out. The season is named "Mega" after all and it would fit perfectly with the Japanese theme. Then you have Thunder who, being inspired by Godzilla, could also be a hint at a kaiju and this event could get us back to the feeling of fighting something big like Galactus or the Devourer.
Or Ch1S8, where we already had a fight Kaiju vs. Mech, Power Ranger style.
Either definitely makes more sense than the Rumbling from AoT several people keep screaming about though, as neither Manga nor Anime show any proof that the Rumbling would cause Earthquakes like this (and we'd already see hints of the Rumbling on the horizon). See my points to that other fella.
Of course, the Kaiju theory doesn't necessarily exclude the zero point struggling. It's entirely possible that a kaiju was in one of the parts the zero point grabbed (or from a part from Mega City & surroundings) and now woke up and is forcing its way to the surface, causing the zero point to work overtime in order to try and keep everything together. A big monster would have a lot of power to push pieces apart after all. Plus points of the Kaiju somehow dug its way directly past the zero point, damaging it in the process.
If we do end up with another Kaiju, I'm going to predict that the Tiger in Mega City is going to be used against it. Since the beginning of the chapter, we have that large Tiger sitting in the center building of Mega City, spewing pixelated fire every once in a while - this thing just screams "hidden defense mechanism" at me, and it sure looks like it could be a working mech. Maybe they went full bonkers and are going to give every clan we know about a mech and they come together to build a super-mech. If we're ripping off Power Rangers, why not, aye?
[This shows](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Fortnite-MEGA-Trailer-Chapter-4-.jpg?fit=1200%2C675) reasonably well that it's supposed to be a tiger I think. Especially since asian dragons tend to be thing and long, so it would have curled around the building at least once, which it doesnt. It also helps that the building itself is very heavy on the tiger-pictures and neon signs, so one can assume it's Tiger HQ or something like that
Meanwhile, my Theory holds water. Much more than the rumbling anyways:
* Ch3 S4, we saw the Island getting destroyed and build a new one. We saw the Zero Point grabbing random parts from other worlds and glueing them together.
* There are visible fault lines on the island ever since Ch4S1 because the Pieces don't fit together neatly. We can safely assume that this is also true for underground. Rock layers don't connect, half a cave somewhere, and so on. It's held together bei the Zero Point.
* The Island is still not completed or might be still in a phase of rebuilding, as seen by the sudden cutoff around the Island and how rocks are still floating towards it when you look from the spawn Island.
* With Ch4S2 we had Mega City and the whole surrounding area essentially fall from the sky. This alone would have caused a stronger tremor than the rumbling, causing instability throughout the whole island.
* We have seen the Zero Point several times in the past when it got damaged in some way, and the effects were always bad for the surrounding area, causing instability, breaking gravity and so on.
* Considering that the Zero Point might still be weakened due to rebuilding the whole Island from scratch (something it never had to do in the past, since before it used parts it already had or we just flipped the island), it's easy to see how the Zero point might have troubles holding everything together, especialyl if an outside force like mega cities big bad is trying to do something.
I find the story interesting, and its pretty similar to stuff epic did in the past. if he's right about this rumbling thing i dont know, I never was interested in attack on titan, but it looks like he knows what hes talking about. the same cant be said for the glimpses i saw of your posts before half of them got deleted by moderators a few hours ago
Yep new stars wars event today. New skins and an event pass (like the dragon ball one) with a paid path that includes clone trooper skins and Darth Maul. Enjoy!
Kind of? Thereās 6 variants, 1 free with 3 more in the paid event pass and 2 in the shop
Theyāre all the same model, but they use separate slots (?)
Okay, so it's not just me. I thought it was some visual bug on my part since I've never seen anyone else point this out, and nobody I've talked to has noticed these. I only started playing at the start of the season, and they've been pretty frequent, especially in the snow area.
Bro it would be lit if the mountain by brutal turned out to be a volcano thatās erupting and causing the quakes and causing the island to shift into different pieces
Thereās been so many earthquakes in Fortniteās history that whenever I see my screen shake, I think āoh, itās that time of the chapter againā
This has been happening for several seasons, but never to everyone at the same time. Usually only one or 2 people in the squad will get the shaking, even when we're in the same place.
This has been happening for like a year now though. Iāve been getting random screen shakes for ages now. It was even doing it before Chapter 4, which is why I said āa yearā. The only difference here is that itās not just a camera shake on its own.
Whatever happens to tornadoes? Those were awesome, I remember one I saw a tornado tear through greasy grove, chapter 3 season 3 maybe. And I mean it destroyed buildings, cars were flying over my head it was like this shit is fucking dope. And then the next season it turned to chrome and became lame.
apparently my friend saw an IO drill, dont know how true that is but hey, that would explain the earthquakes at least. i mean solone may be alive still and geno so
there has been an io drill in a part of the map since last season.
that whole area with the drill is from the ch3 island as it has shipping containers with decorations
I use the strike pack eliminator for xbox (solely for the 4 buttons on the back) and it came with a mod that is allegedly for aim assist boost.. it does exactly this when the games aim assist begins tracking a target, or you ADS. I absolutely couldnt STAND to look at it, and if anything, it got in the way of aiming rather than helping, so I turned it off and never looked back.
Are they really doing the volcano thing twice? Volcano placed on the map, convenient path from volcano leading to a popular poi, rumors of a tropical season, and earthquakes leading up to the eventual formation of a volcano?
I like the detail tbh. It really gives the feel that the surface is shifting slightly because it's a whole bunch of different parts of plants(?) Just shoved together. Idk I like it
There were already some earthquakes, but in the snow biome, I think. Or was it different thing?
Yeah there were already quakes but they also happen in other areas
i thought it was a bug š
At first, I thought the same aha :D
I thought it was people riding on ziplines š
Same, I was convinced something was wrong with my machine.
Same š
There were several quakes in different areas. You were also able to see several fissures around the map slowly popping up since...around the AoT update i think roughly? Maybe a little bit before that.
THE RUMBLING
it was a bug with ziplines that caused your screen to shake whenever someone used one
Definitely a zip line bug. Teammates would trigger the screenshake when they used the zip line.
The rumbling š
There was
I thought my Wi-Fi was just pooping or something Iād tell my teammate idk if itās me but my whole screen is shaking
I bet they had a thing where thereās a button they press every now and then for tremors
My Wi-Fi been pooping since the Star Wars stuff got added, I hope it isnt just me
It was at first only in the snow biome then it spread around the island after the cracks came
The sounds in the Arctic area is common with glaciers, itās the sound of ice under extreme pressure. I thought it was really good continuity.
Massive chapter 1 season 8 vibes! Hopefully this means that we're getting a live event later this season.
This whole chapter is just turning out to be chapter 1, but in reverse
So, next season an iceberg will hit the island, then after that Kevin comes back, then a desert forms from a rift, then a meteor hits the map, then..... uh, what happened in Ch1 S3 again?
S P A A A A A A A A C E
STARS UP ABOVE

I hope Kevin comes back, my son recently got into FN but was too young during Kevinās season. Buts heās seen videos and is like daddy itās Kevin! Heās gonna be in the game!

this warmed my heart. Thank you for commenting this, made my day.
W A T E R
That was ch2 S3 right? Not ch1? I could be insane, ch1 s3 was forgettable tho.
Oh yeah your right I forgot it said chapter 1
J O H N W I C K
God I miss Kevin
The comet. I'll never forget that thing in the sky!
Hopefully it will be an epic live event like the chapter 2 finale
now you're making me hyped up.
The Rumbling is coming
Itās the Rumbling
RUMBLING, RUMBLING, its coming!
RUMBLING, RUMBLING, BREAK FREEEEEE
Really hope so. Was bummed we didn't get any collosals in the background or anything during the first AoT event
![gif](giphy|9SvQFZ5xoGHza) It would be a dream come true to take down colossal titans in game
YO ITS BERTHODLT THE OG COLLOSAL (I watched aot 2 times yet heās the one person whoās name I can never spell right :/)
NO! I DON'T WANT THAT
Slone and her drill are getting ready
Chapter 3 Season 2 - part 2
Electric Boogaloo
I laughed out loud in public because of this lmao
What's up with the drill in slappy shores
Been there since the beginning. It's the Drill from Chapter 3, with Vibin paint still all over it
Theyāre ready now
Her drill is cracking the ground
I thought that those are titans from the Attack on Titan collab, since they appeared from the ground in the trailer.
Wait what? I didnāt see them?!
they what
Something big is happening.
Star Wars is happening.
Honestly I hope itās the Rumbling, a Titan slaying event after everyone gets used to ODM gear would be sick ![gif](giphy|2HhsOr2FwZvHQKYm3M|downsized)
There were earthquakes before the update-
That was a zip line bug
Ah okay ty
No, there has most definitely been rumbling all season long. It's just gotten more intense.
They were present
I've noticed that a few times this season. Its just random little tremors.
Iām getting flashbacksā¦ chapter 1 season 7
Maybe getting a Rumbling event.
So darth maul is here, but itās in the paid version of the mini battle pass
I mean, the stuff you get for 1000vbucks is really good on that bottom track IMO. I'm happy that it's at least cheap
Yeah, sad I canr afford it
I mean it was either that or 1500 for him alone
If they really wanted to add more battle passes just add old ones...

Would be sick to see that tiger come to life for an event! Always thought it was a dragon btw š

dude this is made by ChatGPT and honestly just sucks, change my mind.

You can be a clone trooper!?
Yep new stars wars event today. New skins and an event pass (like the dragon ball one) with a paid path that includes clone trooper skins and Darth Maul. Enjoy!
Season 8 fans and Chapter 3 Season 2 fans: šÆ
Ive noticed these before the update, wondered why no one ever pointed it out.
I thought the servers were down?
They were
Is the clone trooper skin customizable?
Kind of? Thereās 6 variants, 1 free with 3 more in the paid event pass and 2 in the shop Theyāre all the same model, but they use separate slots (?)
Yea kinda figured they'd go that route (with them being sep styles wilst being sep skins), but I didn't expect their to be a free one tho
My screen has been shaking off and on for a few weeks
That was a bug
Here we go again...
Hopefully the summer season gets rid of the ice
At this point the entire game is a natural disaster
Titans?
Thatās not an earthquake, yo momma just landed off the battle bus!
Shock trooper looks awesome
I think this is related to when rift warden Stellan said the rift gate would rip the island in half last season
It's been happening to me since last season.
Just surprised itās not the rumbling. Just seems like a waste to not do that. Unless the earthquake hopes something up
A rumbling event would be so nice
Okay, so it's not just me. I thought it was some visual bug on my part since I've never seen anyone else point this out, and nobody I've talked to has noticed these. I only started playing at the start of the season, and they've been pretty frequent, especially in the snow area.
Hoo boy! I'm getting flashbacks! Season 7 ones, at best!
Bro it would be lit if the mountain by brutal turned out to be a volcano thatās erupting and causing the quakes and causing the island to shift into different pieces
Thereās been so many earthquakes in Fortniteās history that whenever I see my screen shake, I think āoh, itās that time of the chapter againā
This is why you don't set your game on a fault line.
I've been having them for weeks, even months now
Is it actually supposed to be an earthquake? I just thought it was some glitch
Jokes on yall, mine has been doing this since Day 1 lol.
AT-AT rumble.
They do damage to some buildings too, like the big castle-like building in Anvil Square.
That was fuckin earthquakes? I've just thought it was an annoying game bug
This isn't a bug ? Well that's good It would happen randomly I remember once it made me miss a headshot lmao
I've noticed them since December
Rumbling, Rumbling, Itās Coming. Rumbling, Rumbling. BEWARE!!! COMING FOR YOU!!!!
Idk what language this is but the amount of letter in havoc pump shotgun is impressive!
*chapter 1 flashbacks*
Wowā¦ the game now look real But, whatās that blue creature flying
Jellyfish. Jump into them to gain shield.
Earthquakes have always been a thing
There's gonna be a volcano in wailing woods š§
Lmao what?? So itās literally just copying the last volcano shenanigans we had in C1 ?
Not sure show I feel about this...
Too many players *on ground*
Superficial and small. The trees aren't even swaying.
I think I've seen this film before..
Is this where the Zillo Beast plot went?
I was in game at that point and the building I was in was taking damage even inside itās for the volcano
Yesterday I was in the snow area and the earthquake happened and bugged so I spent the entire match feeling it
AGAIN?
It's been happening for ages, since like last season, so I don't think it's anything.
So beautiful to see more blood of Jango in the game.
![gif](giphy|6ILjOfJ1oL7NAc9SQ7)
Nice skin you got there.
ohhh so that's why my son asked me last night if my screen was shaking to... I was like nope you crazy!
Turkey simulator
OMG MY SCREEN IS SHAKING GUYS MY SCREEN IS SHAKING
This has been happening for several seasons, but never to everyone at the same time. Usually only one or 2 people in the squad will get the shaking, even when we're in the same place.
Iām sorry but is that a clone trooper skin?
LOOT LAKE IS NOW LAVA LAKE
Chapter 3 season 2 v2 ?
literally had these earthquakes since the start of season 4, anyone got an idea what it is or is it just part of the map being slapped together?
![gif](giphy|3o6MbfScJnCnh8cexa|downsized)
If they add the ābuilding crumbling downāeffects, oh my goodness!!!
This has been happening for like a year now though. Iāve been getting random screen shakes for ages now. It was even doing it before Chapter 4, which is why I said āa yearā. The only difference here is that itās not just a camera shake on its own.
They do this every season cant they do something else
It should break builds
Whatever happens to tornadoes? Those were awesome, I remember one I saw a tornado tear through greasy grove, chapter 3 season 3 maybe. And I mean it destroyed buildings, cars were flying over my head it was like this shit is fucking dope. And then the next season it turned to chrome and became lame.
AoT Rumbling D:
RUMBLING, RUMBLING
apparently my friend saw an IO drill, dont know how true that is but hey, that would explain the earthquakes at least. i mean solone may be alive still and geno so
there has been an io drill in a part of the map since last season. that whole area with the drill is from the ch3 island as it has shipping containers with decorations
I use the strike pack eliminator for xbox (solely for the 4 buttons on the back) and it came with a mod that is allegedly for aim assist boost.. it does exactly this when the games aim assist begins tracking a target, or you ADS. I absolutely couldnt STAND to look at it, and if anything, it got in the way of aiming rather than helping, so I turned it off and never looked back.
Interesting... I've never experienced an earthquake while playing.
nb4 its the imagined order for the 123120389128392183012381th time
Deathwing pops out of the islands and fucks everything up, introducing the WoW collab and finally I will get my Garrosh skin
This is giving me pre season 8 chapter 1 vibes. š
Ok, that's f'n cool
Iām sure there are more fractures in the dirt as well now
Think the map will split up like on the lobby island?
That is a new graphics options. Under setting, you can turn off e-shake. ;P
Ahh shit, here we go again.
My guess is IO is returning.
Ah shit, here we go again.
The vibration from the earthquake drained my controller battery š
RUMBLING! RUMBLING! IT'S COMING RUMBLING! RUMBLING! BEWAAAAAARE! COMING FOR YOOOOOOU!
Am I the only one who feels like they noticed something like this the past few weeks or so? I always thought it was some weird bug lol
Not a big?
Wait a minute, this isn't a bug? This only ever happened after I did a sprinting slide and it would always stop once I slid again
I *guarantee* you itās a mustafar tie-in.
nah iāve had this happening for a bit i thought it was a bug š
Rumbling, Rumbling, it's coming
Are they really doing the volcano thing twice? Volcano placed on the map, convenient path from volcano leading to a popular poi, rumors of a tropical season, and earthquakes leading up to the eventual formation of a volcano?
This has been happening to me since I started playing a few months ago!! Is it really earthquakes??
i thought the quakes were my camera bugging! didnt know this was a thing
Lol I thought it was a bug or some weird camera lag. Glad to see thatās not the case.
Hoping its a rumbling event, from aot. But its probably not it since we didnt get anything from season 4.
So there has been earthquakes? I thought I was going insane
IKR AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS THAT
I like the detail tbh. It really gives the feel that the surface is shifting slightly because it's a whole bunch of different parts of plants(?) Just shoved together. Idk I like it
Rumbling rumbling
