Fortnite Operation Sky Fire Explained
Fortnite players have spent the entirety of Chapter 2 - Season 7 working undercover with the Imagined Order (IO) in hopes of saving the island from the alien onslaught. The conflict has reached its ultimate peak with the Mothership looming over Corny Complex and the IO headquarters. Operation: Sky Fire is our last-ditch effort to put a stop to these alien invaders once and for all.
According to Epic Games, Operation: Sky Fire will have Fortnite players "join a strike team and sneak aboard the Mothership to deliver IO’s final message to the invading Aliens." What will unfold next? We don’t know which party will come out victorious - but either way - Operation: Sky Fire will mark the end of Chapter 2 - Season 7 and the start of Fortnite Season 8.
