As if it needed reiterating, Fortnite Chapter 2‘s launch earlier this month proved the battle royale’s monumental popularity yet again.
Following a spate of teasers alluding to ‘The End’ of Fortnite at Season X’s conclusion, Epic Games delivered on that promise by having Battle Island be devoured by a black hole. With only the featureless void of space left behind, the developer used the downtime provided by its masterful marketing campaign to finalize plans for the game’s glorious rebirth. Less than 48 hours later, service was restored, though in the original map’s stead stood Apollo Island.
Boasting a raft of new gameplay features such as fishing and swimming as well as multiple mechanical improvements, Epic managed the miraculous feat of delivering an update that hadn’t already been preemptively pulled apart by leaks and data miners, though some fans, it seems, were spoiled ahead of time.
