Fortnite Battle Royale players could soon find themselves right in the middle of a Godzilla: King of the Monsters crossover in-game, with some pieces of evidence linking it to the upcoming ‘Cattus’ event.
Epic Games has not shied away from strange happenings in the past and now their overarching Polar Peak easter egg mystery looks finally set to come to an end. The event, which has been labeled as the Cattus event, is seemingly set to take place under the polar biome.
Yet, if some new fan theories turn out to be correct, there might be more than just a one-off in-game event getting underway, as some players believe that a crossover with Godzilla: King of the Monsters could be in the works. Here’s what we know so far.

Polar Peak has started to crack in Fortnite Battle Royale.
Polar Peak destruction
Back on May 22, players found that a part of the Polar Peak iceberg has begun decaying and is set to play a role in an upcoming event. Some fans have theorized that it has something to do with the dragon eggs that were uncovered back in season seven. Yet, no one is quite sure if they’re still there.
That speculation also ties into the Godzilla crossover idea as a monster from the movie – King Ghidorah – is seen trapped in ice, waiting to wake up and wreak havoc on the world. HappyPower took the theories further with a leaked game file, showing an eye that also looks pretty similar to Ghidorah.
Could it be Godzilla?
On May 25, YouTuber HappyPower noted some hints that have already appeared in-game, which could be linked to the new movie. Yet, the first real link stemmed all the way back to the start of the new season.
Even though the volcano eruption in Fortnite Battle Royale served its purpose, allowing for Tilted Towers and Retail Row to be reimagined as Neo Tilted and Mega Mall, it can link to the Godzilla. In the first trailer for the new movie, one of the monsters – Rodan – is seen above an erupting volcano, looking similar to the volcano eruption from the Season 9 trailer.
While it may not seem like much, one of the ‘dragon’ eggs that had been uncovered under Polar Peak back in Season 7 had popped up under the volcano in season eight – giving some sort of credence to the theory. Yet, the speculation doesn’t end just there.
In a further follow-up tweet, the YouTuber uploaded a short clip that compared a leak sound file from an upcoming in-game event that sounded eerily similar to Rodan’s role in the movies trailer.
Could a Fortnite and Godzilla crossover happen?
To some fans, it may seem a little far fetched considering the movie has already linked-up with PUBG for some promotion, but the evidence does seem to mount up.
It remains to be seen if the theories are indeed correct and Epic do actually have another in-game event lined-up. Maybe, just maybe, those pesky Polar Peak eggs will finally have some reason behind them after all.
As of yet, no one is sure as to what Epic has in-store with the upcoming Cattus event. However, stay tuned to Dexerto for the latest breaking news and updates about Fortnite Battle Royale.
