Fortnite conspiracy theorists think the bus driver is a God-like overlord
Epic GamesFortnite is constantly evolving thanks to new Chapters, Seasons, and collaborations. But one element has withstood the test of time – the bus driver. So, who is this mysterious driver, and what do they mean for the lore?
With Save the World and Battle Royale, it is hard to keep up with the lore and understand what is and isn’t canon in the universe. This only becomes more complicated with the recent announcement of Disney investing in Epic Games to bring over dozens of IPs to the game.
The Fortnite developers have not made any definitive comments surrounding the lore of the game. Which means that players have taken it upon themselves to piece together what’s really going on.
Redditors have come up with creative ideas of their own. This includes one popular theory that the bus driver is actually in control of what goes on.
Epic GamesIs the Fortnite bus driver an overlord?
A thread on the official Fortnite subreddit gave commenters a chance to give their own input on the game’s lore. Or better yet, what conspiracy theories are tied to it.
“The bus driver is a god entity and does all this for his entertainment because he is the only constant and delivers people to die,” suggested one theorist in a comment with close to 1,000 upvotes.
Others piled on to this theory by connecting to other parts of Fortnite. This includes Save the World, which was the game’s original concept before it became a battle royale.
“Bus driver is actually a goblin from Save the World,” suggested another.
Little is known about the bus driver, but regardless of season or collaboration, they remain the same. The only thing that does change on occasion is the outside of the Battle Bus.
Without any solid proof or confirmation from the developers, the identity behind the bus driver remains a mystery. But, it is fun to use context clues to figure out who might be dropping players onto the map.
