The short but eventful live event confirmed the rumors surrounding Megalo Don's plans failing during the live event. As the timer ran out and Nitro started flowing through to the Leviathan, the pipeline's timer was interrupted by a hooded character's logo, probably Doctor Doom.
This raises several questions about the position of Doctor Doom in this season's plot. This is further reinforced by the leaks that suggest that Doom is supposedly The Wanderer, making players wonder whose side the hooded villain is on.
Immediately after the connector between the Leviathan and the Nitro pipelines explodes, it sets off a massive chain reaction that essentially destroys the Nitro network which developed throughout the season. The Nitro pipeline's destruction seals the deal for Megalo Don's plan and sets a huge plot point in motion.
After the Nitro pipeline is destroyed, the chain reaction reaches Redline Rig where a massive explosion occurs, sending shockwaves across the island. This explosion reveals Pandora's Box from underneath Redline Rig.
The live event concludes with the reappearance of Pandora's box and a hot pool of bubbling Nitro surrounding the box. This event essentially confirms that Pandora's box was the source of the Nitro being mined at Redline Rig, fueling the Wastelanders and their plans.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 live event: What happens next
The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Live event set in motion a series of questions while establishing a Marvel-themed Season 4, suggested by Doctor Doom's logo on the countdown timer. The Marvel theme is further solidified by Fortnite's post on X just after the event:
The post's Green background, paired with rumors of Doctor Doom's arrival, all but confirms that the maestro of magic and mayhem is set to arrive in the coming season. The caption suggests that the destruction will bring "powerful beings", possibly hinting at the arrival of bigger threats to the island.
Amidst the fast-churning rumor mills and Fortnite leaks, players must wait for Epic Games to drop teasers or season-end trailers to help understand how the next season takes shape.
