Indeed, Fortnite and Ninja seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly, so it should come as little surprise to learn that Ninja is being immortalized in the game.

Players have been speculating about what happened to usher in Fortnite Chapter 2. The most popular theory is that the island suffered some sort of dimensional break in which a worm hole sent players into an alternative dimension, one with similar locations and names, but that is ultimately different in major ways.
