What started out as speculation has turned into obsession from Fortnite players who believe Tilted Towers will be destroyed by a meteor.

This all started when Fortnite players noticed a comet has appeared in the game’s sky, and quickly surmised that it’s on its way to Tilted Towers.

The area sits in the middle of the Battle Royale map, and players say it breaks the flow of the game because it tends to be in the later circles often, causing lots of players to drop there early rather than some of the other spots.

For one, the comet appears in the sky above Tilted Towers, and players have long theorised that this is how Epic is going to remove the area – by having it destroyed by the comet.

This theory gained more traction when Epic added telescopes to the area, which allowed players to clearly see the comet’s trajectory, nudging them ever closer to a conclusion they had already reached.

There are two prevailing predictions. The first suggests the towers will be destroyed today, but this doesn’t look to be happening now that patch 3.5 has been released and Tilted Towers remains intact.

The remaining theory says that the town will be destroyed by the end of this season, which wraps up at the end of the month. Though Epic hasn’t made any comments, the developer is clearly fuelling speculation.

The addition of telescopes is one thing, but the comet itself keeps getting bigger, and it even spawned smaller ones trailing it. Until now, the comet remains in the sky and none of the game’s towns have been destroyed.
