The Queue: A crack in the sky

I’ve been playing a lot of Fortnite lately, and outside of the general “Flavor of the Month” hype, I’m actually really enjoying the way it expands its universe. Recently, after TVs in the game had a mysterious countdown, a rocket launched into the sky in a one-time only event. After what ended up being more than just a rocket launch, an inter-dimensional (?) crack opened in the sky, and it’s been slowly expanding over the past few days, with weird anomalies appearing all over the map.

One player made a seriously amazing “cinematic” video of the event that’s, in my opinion, worth checking out even if you don’t really play. It’s a cool look at how non-WoW games can use events to tell a story and expand their world. Frankly, taking part in the event itself and trying to figure out what it all means is giving me pre-datamining WoW vibes — and damn if that isn’t a feeling I’ve missed.

Anyhow, enough Fortnite. How about we sit down for a Queue?
