Epic games caused somewhat of a massive cultural event earlier this week when the entire world of Fortnite got sucked into a black hole. The internet went into meltdown over whether Fortnite had been cancelled, A new map was coming, Elon Musk even declared he had bought the game from Epic Games and deleted it!
After what seems like an age on the internet after seeing nothing but Fortnite posts and what probably felt like an eternity to the young kids addicted to Fortnite (See the latest lawsuit against Epic Games for more details) it seems the rumours of a new map were partially true.
Fortnite is indeed back up and running today. It does have a new map but that isn’t all that is new. Fortnite Season 2 comes with a plethora of new locations, activities and gameplay changing additions.
In a press release, Epic Games said the following about Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1:
