Changes in Fortnite following Operation: Sky Fire
1) Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 will be released
As mentioned above, Operation: Sky Fire will be the Season 7 finale. The event will be available to players once, implying that only new content shall arrive after it ends.
Chapter 2 Season 8 of Fortnite will be live on September 13 with new skins, a Battle Pass, abilities, weapons, and more. Server maintenance will most likely take four to eight hours this time around, as claimed by leakers.
2) New Crash Site POI in Fortnite
Dr. Slone and IO have built CounterMeasure bombs to explode the Mothership UFO. During Operation: Sky Fire, loopers will act as IO agents and use EMP kits to complete the mission.
The Mothership UFO is expected to crash on the island and turn into a new POI called Crash Site. The likes of HYPEX on Twitter have also confirmed this.
3) Tilted Towers and Kevin the Cube might return
The Zero Point in Fortnite is the most significant source of energy. Any hindrance in the Zero Point leads to substantial changes in the timeline.
During Operation: Sky Fire, there's a possibility that the Zero Point explodes yet again and unusual events start taking place.
In Chapter 2 Season 8, old POIs and objects such as Kevin the Cube and Tilted Towers are expected to return. This will most likely happen after the massive explosion in Operation: Sky Fire.
4) Misty Meadows and Dirty Docks will be destroyed
Even though Fortnite isn't releasing a new map anytime soon, it seems like Epic Games is focused on tweaking the current map gradually.
Leaks have suggested that Operation: Sky Fire will lead to the destruction of Misty Meadows and Dirty Docks. Naturally, new POIs and landmarks will replace them in Chapter 2 Season 8.
5) Pyramid POI on the map
Another POI that is almost confirmed for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 is Pyramids. The alien invasion will end with Operation: Sky Fire, but the aliens will most likely build the Pyramids before leaving. This will be similar to the popular theories that claim Pyramids in Egypt were built by aliens.
Operation: Sky Fire will lay the perfect foundation for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8. From new POIs to storyline updates, players can certainly expect a ton of content to arrive when the live event ends.
