Fortnite is a bit of a divisive game among gamers — most either love it or hate it — but it is hard to deny that Epic Games know how to keep their audience entertained. A special event marked the end of Fortnite season 10.
And while most players expected something grand, nobody was prepared for what actually happened — a massive black hole appeared, sucking in the entire game world, players included. After that, everything went black — literally.
The game’s servers went offline, (and are still down at the time of this article), and its various social media accounts had their pictures replaced with just pure black — or a small image of the black hole, in some cases.
The most popular theory among fans right now is that the next season is going to be a major “reset” of the game.
Speculations about a completely new map have been thrown around multiple times, and many players are convinced that Epic is planning something… well, epic, for the next major installment in the game.
One thing is sure, though — the message “this is the end” was not meant to be taken literally, at least not with regards to the game itself.
However, it is, perhaps, the end of Fortnite as fans know it — it is hard to tell what the new season will bring to the table, but at this point, it looks like it is going to be something very significant.
Millions of gamers took to Fortnite’s official page on social media to lash out and demand answers.
“Fortnite is going to close. The servers ain’t responding doe. Minecraft still better goodbye,” wrote a person who is visibly frustrated by the event.
However, not all players were upset, and some asked that others have a little patience and wait for what to come.
Another person who agreed with the commenter above shared this message of peace: “What’s going on? All this hate that Epic is receiving from you guys are just incredible after all the effort they put into these last few seasons especially this one in amazing all the hater out there are probably still playing right now so whoever likes it like this comment just remember all the good memories we had and how many lives they changed to think about that❤️Epic games, I would like to say thank you for this experience.”
One thing is clear, this new chapter in the game will have people talking.
