Some fans speculate that the Rift Tour event will rift through previous events in Chapter 2 as well or collide with other Epic Games titles, like Fortnite: Save The World (STW).

"Did I just see the Halloween storm monster from STW and chapter 2: Season 1", one Twitter user commented.

"Wait a minute, the Storm King was in the trailer, don’t forget STW is promoting Rift Tour, could that mean we’ll be entering the STW reality", another user speculated.
