Epic Games has already said that the end is near for the finale of Season 4 in Fortnite. As they gear up for Season 5, players got to get in on the celebration with an incredible missile launch in-game, the very same that was discovered shortly after Season 4 went live! This game after a week of build up with players reporting sirens sounding from the Snobby Shores Evil Lair, and now that incredible scale of hype has finally paid off! Check out some of the different perspectives of the event below:
