Rumors
Fortnite tying the Cattus event to the Moon Landing would be amazing

A theory is floating around Fortnite boards that the upcoming Fortnite Cattus event could be tied to the first moon landing.
The countdown for the event means it will happen on July 20th. 50 years before that date, on July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history by becoming the first people to step foot on the moon.
That could of course be a coincidence, but with a jetpack recently being added to the giant robot, it appears they will be taking to the sky for the fight.
The 50th anniversary of the moon landing will be a cause for celebration and would make for a great tie-in to whatever event Epic has planned.
This theory was popularized from a post on /r/FortniteBR by PokeSanti03 who tied in the clues pointing towards the moon landing.
The day of the event marks 50 years of the arrival of man to the moon… The STW actual lobby is the moon. from r/FortNiteBR
Many of the comments starting poking holes in the theory. STW has been using that moon theme as part of an ongoing event and the moon has been the backdrop for weeks.
In fact, that’s not even the moon but actually a movie set. And no, before you wonder, I’m not about to touch the actual moon landing conspiracy theories in this article.
Also people pointed out we already had a space themed season in the past. I don’t think those points disprove this theory. We could see a return of the rocket for just this one event and that doesn’t mean all of Season 10 will need to be space themed.
Also STW could be doing something around the moon landing that is separate but still have that be incorporated into Fortnite Battle Royale. In fact, that could be a good way to strengthen the bridge between the two games.
Getting back into the evidence, the other piece not talked about is the tweet from Donald Mustard.
Invest in Space.

I hope so much to be alive to see us transition from a Type I civilization to a Type II civilization. We are on the cusp.
I think pretty great odds we make it to Type III.
As Epic Games’ Creative Director, Mustard has used his location and cryptic tweets to tease upcoming Fortnite events in the past.
When I first saw this tweet, I thought it was in relation to the SpaceX launch from the day before. And that still may be correct, while Mustard mostly tweets about Fortnite, that doesn’t mean it is the only thing he can talk about.
Still, he doesn’t mention SpaceX or anything from the real world in his tweet, so it could be actually pointing towards Fortnite, just disguised behind a real life event.
We will have a definitive answer to these theories by the end of the week, but for now we can only speculate. The idea of a battle that utilizes a mysterious monster, a jetpack-wearing robot, and the moon landing does sound like a ton of fun.

Fortnite Creative Mode could be getting a huge expansion
Fortnite Creative Mode could bring a massive update to truly simulate end-game scenarios, according to a recent leak.

Fortnite Creative Mode could bring a massive update to truly simulate end-game scenarios.
Creative Mode was one of the most innovative additions that Epic has made to Fortnite. You don’t even have to play the base game mode to enjoy Fortnite, anymore. You can play Search and Destroy, deathruns, Zone Wars, Trivia, boxfights, and a lot more.
Competitive Fortnite players have taken to Creative Mode the most. Zone Wars gives you a simulated end-game and boxfights let you practice the most important element of high-level competitive play.

Fortnite Creative beta
Over a year ago, way back in, Fortnite v12.10, files were added to the game that we assumed would bring a massive change to Creative Mode. According to the game files, Creative can now support up to 50 players.
A year after we first heard the news about an updated Creative Beta, we still have yet to see this in practice. Since it’s been so long, many players forgot that it was even on the horizon.
After the v15.50 update, however, data miners found some new files that relate to the Creative Mode expansion. According to them, Epic are testing a beta of Creative that should support 50 players.
Such a change would be a massive step for the game. You could truly play a mini-BR game with your friends if this change went through. YouTube creators and streamers could also manage private matches a lot easier, as there’s no chance of a code leak or an unwanted intruder.
The best part of this additional player count is the ability to truly simulate competitive end-game situations. Zone Wars is good practice for a lot of us, but not for those at the highest level.
Anyone who has ever watched a tournament knows what we’re talking about. The end-game in professional Fortnite matches routinely has 40+ players in the final few zones. It’s pure chaos, and a 50-player Zone Wars lobby will be able to capture this.
Of course, the expansion also opens the door to a ton of other possibilities including massive boxfight battles and more. Epic will be focusing on the Creative side of things for the future of Fortnite, and an increased player count is an excellent first step.

Epic Games calls for player-made survival, RPG & more game modes
Epic Games have issued a challenge to the Fortnite community: create brand-new games within their existing format.

The Future of Fortnite may be outside of the base game entirely. Epic Games have called for players to take full advantage of the Creative Mode tools to make brand-new video games.
For a long time, Epic Games have been subtly promoting Creative Mode as the game’s future.
This is particularly ironic because many players who left the game cite Creative as one of the reasons they did so. In their view, the practice it provided made the average player too good.
Creative Mode isn’t only for Realistic 1v1s and Boxfighting. We already see some fan-made creations expand outside of the base Fortnite game. The best example is the “Spy Within” mode, a player-created Among Us clone in Fortnite.
In a blog post released on December 17, Epic called out creators in the Fortnite community to put the Creative Mode tools to work. They specifically mentioned that they wanted to see survival, open-world RPG, social simulation, action-adventure, and many more game modes come to Fortnite.
Submissions for these modes will be open until January 18. You can take a look at the full list of details here.
Such game modes mirror the lifecycle of Arma 3 – a game that modders made into a completely different experience. For those who don’t know, DayZ and PUBG began as Arma 3 mods.
We could see something similar happen to Fortnite in the coming years, especially with support from Epic Games.
Fortnite may not last forever, but its Creative tools give players the ability to develop entirely new games without ever leaving. Who knows, we may see the next big survival game come out of Fortnite – fleshed-out into a standalone title.
