The Fortnite Black Hole is Sending Out Secret Messages
It’s been a crazy day for Fortnite. First we had The End event which saw rockets flying and the birth of a black hole. Second this black hole took the game offline for the time being, meaning millions of players are waiting for any news of what’s to come. While players are waiting an interesting thing has been happening on the game’s black hole screen. The Fortnite black hole is sending out secret messages and players have already started to decipher them.
What Happened During the Event?
- Rocket Collision: A replay of the original Season 4 rocket launch went haywire, colliding with other rockets and tearing open a rift in reality.
- Black Hole Formation: The singularity devoured the map, leaving only a cryptic black hole screen on all platforms.
- Server Shutdown: Epic Games took Fortnite offline, marking the first time the game became completely unplayable since its 2017 launch.
Secret Messages Hidden in the Void
At first glance, the black hole screen seems to only contain a few minigames. But sharp-eyed fans quickly noticed cryptic numbers flashing across the void. These sequences were tied to a hidden cipher, and the community wasted no time cracking the code.
The Decoded Message:
Twitter user @Thooming matched the numbers to audio transcripts from The End event, revealing this chilling message:
“I WAS NOT ALONE. OTHERS ARE OUTSIDE THE LOOP. THIS WAS NOT CALCULATED. THE ZERO POINT IS NOW INEVITABLE.”
What Does “The Zero Point” Mean?
The message references The Zero Point—a cosmic energy source central to Fortnite’s Season X storyline. This unstable power has repeatedly threatened to collapse reality, and its sudden “inevitability” hints at a catastrophic shift in Chapter 2.
Key Theories:
- The Loop Broken: “Others outside the loop” could mean new factions (or enemies) entering the game.
- Reality Reset: The Zero Point’s destabilization may explain Fortnite’s rumored map overhaul.
- Crossovers Ahead: Epic Games might be teasing collaborations (e.g., Marvel, Star Wars) as “Others.”
What’s Next for Fortnite?
With Chapter 2 leaks swirling and the black hole ticking like a doomsday clock, Epic Games is masterfully stoking hype. The cryptic messages suggest a lore-heavy reboot, blending existing storylines with uncharted territory.
