The End event, which wrapped up Fortnite Chapter 2, has ended. Epic Games is now in the process of updating their servers to kick off Chapter 3. And it may take a while.
It is currently no longer possible to play Fortnite. As many players expected, a collaborative event entitled The End sealed this December 4, 2021, Chapter 2 of the game of survival and construction, which continues to renew itself to keep its audience awake.
The End event lasted 10 minutes (but there was The Rock)
The End lasted about 10 minutes : the players were propelled on a map of Fortnite, called upon to fight a great villain, Queen Cube. However, player avatars ended up being lugged around the bowels of the island, guided by The Rock (yes, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is in. Fortnite). It was then necessary to follow him to avoid being stuck in a collapsing building.
Suddenly, the player finds himself or herself in the water and notices, swimming in the sea, that the cherished island on which he or she has been evolving for years is in the process of… turning like a pancake. All the places that we knew until now disappear under the sea, while a whole “new” island appears. What’s on it? This is the whole mystery.
Because since 10:30 p.m. this Saturday, December 4, it is no longer possible to connect to Fortnite. Epic Games, the studio that publishes the game, is updating its servers so that all these new features are taken into account in the new Chapter 3.
Fortnite Chapter 3 may take a long time to arrive
History has shown that these updates can be very long, very long. At the end of October 2019, the game from Epic Games began its first very big change: Fortnite split for the first time into “chapters” (and no longer just seasons). the second had brought great novelties and improvements in the game, but mostly it had taken a long, long time to arrive.
The players were left in the dark for no less than 38 hours, without any communication from the American studio, which had achieved a masterpiece by playing on this sudden disappearance. Hundreds of millions of gamers had to wait patiently for the return of one of the most popular games of the 2010s.
Two years later, they are now better prepared. Some believe that Chapter 3 may not arrive for more than 48 hours, others are more optimistic. In any case, Epic Games’ tactic is winning in generating impatience and excitement: when Fortnite will rekindle its lights, many will be there.
For now, when we log into the game, we come across a “home screen” where we see a character stranded on a raft, floating in the sea. Probably waiting, like us, for the arrival. of the third chapter. In a strangely restful calm.
