With Fortnite Season 3 well underway, players have begun making predictions about what Epic Games have planned next, and now a major clue might have been discovered for a future event. 

There is a ton of fun content in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1, including brand-new Battle Pass featuring characters like Spider-Man as unlockable skins along with items like Spidey’s Web-Shooters.

Players are already speculating about what exactly Epic Games are planning next for the battle royale. Now, fans are convinced they’ve discovered a clue to future events in the statue of Dwayne Johnson’s character “The Foundation.”

Fortnite’s map underwent more changes at the start of Season 3, Chapter 1. Now, there’s a new addition to the Island in the form of the Mighty Monument statue that’s located east of Sanctuary.

This statue is dedicated to The Foundation, and Reddit user ‘Yessir-Im-A-Pie’ suggests that it has a hidden purpose. They believe that the monument is secretly a robot designed to combat the Imagined Order.

The theory is that there will be a huge event at the end of Season 1 in which the IO will make their presence felt. To combat the evil organization, the Mighty Monument statue will suddenly charge into battle.

Once commenter brought that this is entirely plausible if you take a look at the game’s files. “Considering the statue has an animation rig attached to it, it’s most definitely going to do something,” wrote the user.

Many of the other commenters are also on board with this theory. However, not everyone sees this as the most probable outcome, and a few players shared their own theories of what might really happen.

One user suggested that the statue is actually the hilt of a weapon. “Even look, the foundation is the grip and those 2 rocks on the side are like the things that appear on a sword,” they commented.

At the time of writing, this is all purely speculation. Perhaps Epic Games are intentionally leaving clues about the next major event for players to find, but this has yet to be confirmed.
