Strange things keep happening in 'Fortnite' and events in the video game have started to invade the real world
Two weekends ago, a one-time in-game event featured a rocket launch and rifts in the space-time continuum, and nothing has been the same on the island since.
And by Monday, llama piñatas--the game's mascot--had been spotted all over Europe.
Photos of the loot llamas in London, Barcelona, Cologne, and Warsaw have already been posted on the Fortnite subreddit thread.
...and this anchor, both spotted by Fortnite blogger Kai Peterson:
An Anchor came out of the newest rift near Greasy. I wonder what's gonna come out of the massive rift in the sky? 🤔#Fortnite pic.twitter.com/2ZOYArtEk1

The cryptic clues and wacky antics are mounting in preparation for the transition to Battle Pass Season 5 this week.
Because each in-game season is themed, fans have been scrambling to put all the puzzle pieces together before the big reveal this Thursday.
The leading theory, started by known dataminers @TwoEpicBuddies, is that Season 5 will be desert-themed, as evidenced by the appearance of the Durr Burger in the California desert, and the sphynx-looking mask featured in Epic's latest teaser poster.
Others have suggested the stage coach and some leaked data files could be pointing toward a Wild West theme for Season 5, but that wouldn't explain the meaning of the rifts or why multiple landmarks and llamas are being spotted in the real world.
Luckily, we won't have to wait long to know exactly what this all means for the future of Fortnite.
Season 5 will go live after a short period of downtime on Thursday morning!
