Fortnite Season 7: Moment of Togetherness and its meaning

After slaughtering the Storm King, players are sucked into a vortex created by the demolition of the giant beast. The screen turns black, and suddenly players find themselves on their knees. A helping hand emerges and pulls the players up. A yellow orb of light ascends upwards, and players are then directed to lift another downed NPC.

In the background, several others are lifting each other, and Ariana's powerful and earthly voice begins to emerge. Several players have been trying to grasp the significance of this part in the Rift Tour event. According to a person on Twitter named Purex, it was a way of Fortnite paying eulogy to all the people who lost their lives in an Ariana Grande concert bombing. You can check the tweet below.

However, this is not the case. Tim Elek, the Live Events Art Director as well as the FX Art Director for Fortnite, clarified the issue and shared the real meaning. According to him, it was not a tribute to the concert bombing but is supposed to be Fortnite's way of presenting support throughout the hard times people went through during quarantine. Check out his tweet below.

Later, the Twitter user himself confirmed that he had misinterpreted the situation and was sorry if he had offended anyone in the process.
