Rundown of the Live Event and What It Means For Fortnite Season 3
This past week, Fortnite hosted a few live events on the island with no real build-up. While many creators posted about the live event, the majority of players were unaware of what was happening. Over a month ago, Pandora’s Box arrived on the island. Surprisingly, This magical box of secrets was set to host a mini live event, but not many players were aware of it. Much to everyone’s surprise, this past week focused on Zeus breaking it open.
A live event took place, showcasing Zeus summoning lightning strikes all over the island, with the biggest one striking Pandora’s Box. Pandora’s Box opened for a brief moment and later sank into the sea, making it disappear. After tinkering around in replay mode, players noticed that the box did not completely sink into the island. Instead, the edge of the box was still visible underwater, and some say it might be saved for Fortnite Season 3. While these events took place, Pandora’s Box was destroyed and scattered all over the map. These crates are rumored to give birth to new POIs for Fortnite Season 3. Leakers have confirmed new POIs will enter the island and posted some screenshots of them on the new map.
