Fortnite fans speculated who voiced The Foundation, a character who appeared in film and in-game event that started the game season 6. The theory is that Dwayne is “The Rock” Johnson, but there are also competing ideas. None of this matters much, but it is Fortnite players do what they do best: speculating wildly.

Let’s look at the facts. On March 16, a day before the release of season 6, Johnson posted a cryptic video on Instagram about the importance of March 16 “in a certain culture” and how “there is connective tissue between that world and my world.” ”. The video ends with him saying, “All of this is done to strengthen, evolve, and increase the power and strength known as … the Foundation” before raising an eyebrow meaningfully.

This seems a pretty clear proof to many Fortnite fans. Others pointed out that The Foundation’s armor bears a resemblance to Johnson’s tattoos. Others note that “rock” and “foundation” have similar meanings. Eurogamer reports that the Foundation’s voice lines are in a folder called “DJ” in the game code. On Reddit, the players showed that Epic’s creative director, Donald Mustard, appreciated Johnson’s video on Instagram as further proof of the theory.

However, Johnson is not the only possible voice in the race. Players also have he speculated that the Foundation is voiced by Keifer Sutherland or even Donald Mustard, trotting various pro and pro candidates against their favorite candidate. While a Reddit player briefly summarizes things, “That’s stupid.”

This one It is dumbass! Who cares who voiced their character and who will be aspiring to the next star FortniteMaw will be? But Fortnite has always been excellent at being a creative engine for wild theories, players fixing metaphorically red ropes between each map change and the Twitter teaser to speculate what will happen next. As more and more crossovers came into play, I found the fan theorizing less fun, relying more on pop culture knowledge than spinning theories completely unleashed by any reality except the one created by people who have too long to spend the game. Fortnite. This feels like some good old fashioned Fortnite the strangeness of the player, the kind I missed.

My current favorite Fortnite Season 6 theory it’s about a new skin called Raz, which has rune-like tattoos on Kevin The Cube from past seasons. This is in line with another theory that season 6 towers are in locations similar to the runes Kevin left when he was rolling on the map. It’s the kind of granular thing YouTube videos are made for, and I’m here for it all. Screw The Rock. Bring back the cube and let the creative juices of the players flow.

(Rock, if you read this, please don’t beat me.)
