A mysterious portal has appeared next to Angry Stacks, on the island of Fortnite. Could it foreshadow the arrival of the Terminator and Sarah Connor?
On January 20 at 3:00 p.m. CET there was another change to the Fortnite map. Zero Point opened another portal at a specific point on the island. We do not know exactly who will make it through here until Fortnite Battle Royale, although Terminator and Sarah Connor have many ballots of being the next skins of the game. We tell you everything we know about this little piece of history from Season 5 of the Battle Pass of Fortnite Chapter 2:
Fortnite: a portal to the world appears Terminator?
As already happened with Daryl Dixon and Michonne from The Walking Dead, who also arrived through a portal to the island, with Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Taskmaster, who arrived through another portal, and with the Predator, who also arrived through his portal, yet another portal has appeared on the island next to Angry Accumulations:
Location of the Angry Accumulations portal
As we approach it, it will open, and we can hear ominous music whose notes are reminiscent of the main theme of Terminator 2 coming from the other side:
The portal opens when we stay a certain distance from it
However, if we get too close to it and try to go through it, it will close; Zero Point does not allow us to escape the island, as has already happened with the previous portals.
The portal closes when we get too close to it
The fact that it has appeared at this point has its explanation: it is the point at which new characters will arrive on the island of Fortnite.
This is the image and the sound coming from the other side of the portal; decrypted from the game files at around 12:00 CET on January 20, 2021:

As other users have indicated on Twitter, the door that we can see through the portal is very similar to a door that we saw in the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Specifically, in a scene inside the Cyberdine Systems laboratories:

The code name of this portal in the game files is “Typhoon” (“typhoon” in Spanish), and references to a female skin, “TyphoonFemale” have been found in the game code, which is why the character that would come this way should be a woman:
It could be Sarah Connor, then. pic.twitter.com/spm2EDYgy5

Although nothing is certain yet, the new Fortnite skins could be, taking into account all we know, either Sarah Connor, or a Terminator T-800, and even both. If this is confirmed, it would also be necessary to see if these Fortnite Battle Royale characters have the appearance of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who, respectively, have given life to both characters in several films of the Terminator franchise. We will update you as soon as we learn more about this peculiar mystery.
