Fortnite creators just confirmed the game is changing tomorrow - here's what to expect from 'Season 4'
Over the weekend, Epic also posted a few versions of this promotional image for Season Four, adding a new character to the image with each update.
Last week, a few dedicated fans went so far as to open up the game's code, searching for clues in the game's latest update. Data miners successfully found a series of new sound effects tucked in a folder titled "Meteor."
Fortnite Intel compiled a video with all the sound effects and their labels, for those who are curious.
As the clock runs out on Season Three, smaller meteorites have already started to hit the ground.
Smaller, fast-moving meteorites started occasionally and unexpectedly raining down on players last week, suggesting the big one is still yet-to-come.
So far, a few players who have had close encounters with them have already shared photos and videos on social media, like this screenshot of a video posted to Reddit this morning:

In the center of the alert was a llama, the game's mascot.
Lending credence to that theory: Epic Games, the creators of Fortnite, also publicly acknowledged the cosmic phenomenon for the first time, by adding an image of the emergency alert to the official Fortnite page on Twitter.
Whatever the fate of the meteor, and its potential impacts for the game, Season Three is coming to an end tonight and Epic confirmed on Twitter that the new season will begin after a short scheduled downtime early tomorrow morning.
No doubt, there will be plenty of players waiting in line to drop into Tilted Towers when the game comes back online, scrambling to be the first to see what unfolds, and what this means for the future of the world's favorite video game.
