When Fortnite v13.30 launched, players began to notice that there was something underwater on the edge of the map. Those who took a closer look at the playback mode could see that it was a wrecked ship.
Much of the ship’s aesthetics resembled Siona’s skin. We can see a ship that shares the same colors and features as Siona’s base outfit. Also, this boat has an occupant. There is a male skin in the same outfit as Siona, sitting in one of the seats.
However, the passenger side seat is empty, suggesting that was how Siona arrived on Fortnite Island. She is, after all, the only space-themed mask in the Season 3 Battle Pass.
This boat is quite out of place when you consider the season 3 surface issue. We are looking at a flooded map riddled with sharks and we observe that the water levels drop approximately once a week. Nothing, other than possibly the Marauders, hints that outer space plays a role this season.
Anyone who has played Fortnite during Season 1 of Chapter 1 remembers that this was the season that started it all when it comes to the story of the game. The meteorite hit the island at the beginning of the season and The Visitor emerged from its capsule, inside. The season ended with the iconic rocket launch, the first Fortnite event in the game.
Could we be seeing something similar in Chapter 2 Season 3? The Visitor was one of The Seven, first introduced in Chapter 1 Season 3. We haven’t met any additional members of The Seven since Season X. Could this mysterious astronaut be number four? YouTuber Ali-A touched on this theory in one of his recent videos.

“One of the most important parts of Fortnite’s history, The Seven, is related to futuristic space,” Ali-A explained. “To link it and discover more about these characters, the space will have to be revisited at some point; and it seems like it all starts right here. “
Ali-A went on to theorize that The Marauders might be looking for this mysterious character, who might be in line with a slightly different theory from TheSmithPlays. To sum up, the latter suggests that Marauders are members of the Save the World universe, sent to Battle Royale for some undisclosed reason. You can take a look at our article on that theory here.
Chapter 2 Season 3 seems to be the perfect time for the introduction of a new member of The Seven. It’s been an entire chapter since we met The Visitor. If Epic follows the Chapter 1 roadmap for its Chapter 2 story, then we’ll probably see a new member this season. Of course, these are just theories, but we believe that there are some solid links between the original Visitor and this mysterious astronaut.
Of course, we will know more when the water levels drop and the boat reaches the surface. However, if the astronaut leaves his ship, we may have some déjà vu. After that, he will build a rocket on Steam Stacks and try to get home.
