The Fortnite community makes some pretty incredible content surrounding the game they love. One of the most popular forms of content in the Fortnite community is fan theories that speculate on things that Epic Games may be planning behind the scenes for future Fortnite content.
Recently, Fortnite YouTuber and content creator Ali-A released a video talking about one of his own Fortnite theories involving Season 5 content. Ali-A’s Fortnite theory essentially suggests that Epic Games is taking big steps behind the scenes to link Fortnite’s continuous lore with real life, tying in with the Zero Point, Agent Jonesy, and much more.
Ali-A’s video is over 10 minutes long, so there's a lot to unpack about the overarching theory he presents. Ali-A begins by honing in on Fortnite Season 5’s slogan “Worlds Collide,” but saying he thinks it means something much bigger than just Kratos and Master Chief joining Fortnite. Ali-A proposes that Epic Games is starting to merge elements of the real world with elements of Fortnite, as evidence by strange alternate reality elements discovered in the real world. Ali-A cites a Fortnite Durr Burger that appeared in a California desert, Fortnite Llamas appearing in Europe, and Fortnite Battle Buses appearing in Egypt.
Of course, Ali-A thinks this heavily relates to the new Zero Point landmark in Fortnite Season 5, claiming that the Zero Point that links Fortnite with other pop-culture worlds also links to the real world. Ali-A then makes a big claim saying he thinks the strange monolith-esque structures appearing around the world may be tied to Fortnite, after seeing Epic’s recent ARG marketing. The real meaning behind these strange structures has yet to be confirmed, but Ali-A is guessing that Epic is behind the structures and that fans may see them appear in Fortnite eventually. The next part of Ali-A’s theory revolves around a certain Fortnite character prominent during Season 5.
Ali-A thinks that Bunker Jonesy, the disheveled post-apocalyptic skin for Fortnite’s popular Jonesy character, holds a lot of information for Season 5’s Agent Jonesy and The Imagined Order. Ali-A thinks that Agent Jonesy and the IO Agents want to keep Fortnite characters on the map to make Fortnite’s infinitely looping battle royale possible forever, while Bunker Jonesy has key information on how to escape the island and the loop. Bunkey Jonesy mentions the mysterious reboot vans and bunkers as being key elements in escaping the island.
Essentially, Ali-A thinks the plot surrounding Fortnite’s Season 5 lore and central theme has to do with Fortnite characters escaping the island and the continuous battle royale loop of the game. Agent Jonesy’s reality blending abilities along with the Imagine Order agents naturally play a huge role in this season and are key elements to Ali-A’s theory. Additionally, Fortnite elements appearing in the real world suggest a tangible way to “escape” Fortnite’s island. The theory is certainly out there, but it does make a lot of sense when looked at as a whole.
