Epic Games is preparing to bringFortniteChapter 2 Season 7 to a close and this includes some teasers about the upcoming Skyfire event. Operation Sky Fire takes place tomorrow, but Epic Games is still giving fans an idea of what to expect from the event.
ThroughoutFortniteSeason 7, aliens have invaded the battle royale island. This includes flying saucers that will abductFortniteplayers, floating alien creatures that can cling to the heads of characters to possess them and humanoid aliens that will fire at players with their rayguns upon observation. These aliens are coming down from the mothership floating above theFortnitebattle royale island, but this is about to change.

Epic Games has been teasing the destruction of theFortnitemothership for a significant portion of Season 7. The mothership has taken liberties in destroying parts of theFortnitemap including Slurpy Swamp (now Sludgy Swamp), Coral Castle, and now Corny Crops (formerly Colossal Crops). As the mothership began destroying Corny Crops, the NPC located there known as Doctor Slone had a plan to destroy the mothership.
Operation Sky Fireseems to follow the success of Doctor Slone’s plan to bomb the mothership floating about theFortnitebattle royale island. Corny Crops is completely shattered, with pieces of it floating in the air due to the destruction caused by the mothership. Doctor Slone has clad the bottom of these floating islands in bombs that are intended to destroy the mothership and bring it crashing down on the battle royale island.
This recent teaser from Epic Games givesFortnitefans an idea of how Operation Sky Fire may transpire and it won’t go according to plan. Currently, Doctor Slone is working with the heroes ofFortniteto stop the mothership from abducting the Zero Point which plays an integral role in manyFortniteseasons. The audio clip fromFortnite’s Mari teases something on theFortnitemothershipthat Doctor Slone hasn’t accounted for that may be worse than the worst-case scenario.
In theFortnite: Zero Pointcomics, Doctor Slone is working with notable bad guy Lex Luthor and this has caused some characters in theFortniteuniverse to question her motives. This is teased further in the recent audio clip from Mari who doesn’t trust Slone and states that she’s relieved, yet scared. Mari imploresFortniteplayers to take care of themselves rather than relying on Doctor Slone with Operation Sky Fire on September 12.
It’s currently unclear whatFortnite’s Mari is warning players about in the recent teaser, but it seems like the mothership is harboring a hidden power.Fortnitefans have been anticipating this event since the mothership started abducting points of interest around the map and they’re finally going to see the fruits of the mothership’s labors on Sunday. Epic Games has not yet confirmed whether there would be downtime between seasons, butFortnitefans might have to wait to see the beginning of Season 8.
Fortniteis available right now for Mac, mobile, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
