Fortnite Chapter 2 is coming to a close and Epic has some big plans for the upcoming Chapter 3 as well as the Fortnite Season 8 live event. Epic Games have already decided to ditch seasons nine and X, ushering us into a new chapter, which might change the game as we know it. Here's everything you should know about the Fortnite Chapter 2 finale countdown, event time, and more. The Battle Pass trailer for Fortnite Chapter 3 season 1 was leaked on Twitter on Saturday.
While it doesn't go into detail about the changes, there are some noticeable changes, such as different environments on the island and a new slide mechanic. Beyond this, Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 will also introduce an array of useful features and additions to improve the overall gaming experience of the players. As always, the data miners have already given a sneak peek of the forthcoming season details, including its release date, battle pass rewards, cost and much more. Fortnite is currently transitioning from Chapter 2 Season 8 to Chapter 3 of the battle royale game. And the last time we saw this type of extended maintenance mode was the end of Chapter 1 when the map got sucked into a black hole after The End event.
If you recall, the Black Hole stayed around for around nearly two days, rendering Fortnite unplayable the entire time. Fortnite Chapter 3 is on its way, and it's coming sooner than we expected! Fortnite Season 8 is coming to an end soon and we were hoping for a smooth transition to the next season, which will usher us into the year 2022. Here's everything we know so far about when Fortnite Chapter 3 will begin and what changes are taking place. There have also been numerous Fornite Season 3 teasers online suggesting what's to come in the battle royale game. The seasonal battle pass features cosmetics that are tied to the on-going theme in Fortnite.
Knowing the Fortnite Season 3 is set around a 'flood', players can expect skins that match the upcoming storyline. 22, 2018April 30, 2018FourMay 1, 2018July 12, 2018FiveJuly 12, 2018Sept. 2, 2020March 15, 2021Chapter Two, season sixMarch 16, 2021June 7, 2021Chapter Two, season sevenJune 8, 2021Sept. This is why the start of a new Fortnite season is always a treat for fans of the battle royale. Following on from another epic live event, players were left floating at sea as the Island completely flipped to reveal some brand new locations. Although details about what exactly is coming in Chapter 3, leaks have revealed that new mechanics such as sliding will be introduced, as well as a Spider-Man collab.
One thing we don't know about the finale event is whether players will be able to play Fortnite after it ends. Chapter 3 is certainly on the way, but it's possible that Fortnite goes through some downtime before the new season and chapter begin. When Fortnite Chapter 1 ended, the game went down for nearly a full day — leading to hundreds of thousands of viewers watching the game's offline screen both in-game and on streams.
Every time a new season begins, the game's map changes slightly and new characters, cosmetic items and more are released to players. With the theme titled Out of Time, they planned from the beginning of the season to completely revamp the game inFortnite Chapter 2. A lot of players were left concerned when everything got sucked into a black hole at the end of the chapter, as we didn't hear any news for several days. One big change is that players will have more ways to earn battle pass XP outside of the battle royale mode.
Typically, if you wanted to earn battle pass stars/XP, you were restricted to playing in one of the normal battle royale modes, or the 50 vs. 50 Team Rumble. Presumably, this means you can earn XP in alternate modes like Creative and LTMs. That will be great for players who want to earn higher-level skins, but don't have the interest or skill for intensely competitive multiplayer stuff. When Chapter 2 arrived, Fortnite became a black hole for a day after a series of dimension-shattering rocket launches sucked everything into oblivion.
This is more or less a cheeky way of performing huge amounts of maintenance, which is obviously needed when shifting to a brand new map, updating game features, and whatever else Epic is planning. Following the finale of Chapter 2, players were left floating in the ocean. The closest comparison is probably the live event that brought the original version of Fortnite to a close back in October 2019. That event surprised players with a black hole that sucked up the entire Fortnite island, effectively rendering the game unplayable for two days before Fortnite Chapter 2 began. With every season comes a new battlepass and this one is no different.
With season 3 being water themed it's not really a surprise that Aquaman has is now part of the Fortnite universe. Like with Deadpool last season he comes with his own set of challenges which will unlock over time and completing them earns you different styles. The rest of the battle pass is suitably water themed as well containing gliders, contrails and emoticons. Leakers have shared some vital information about the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 2 live event and what players can expect during the finale.
Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey, in his tweet, states that The Foundation will make a re-entry and have some role during the event. The leakers also mention that the Last Reality can kill us all during the event. The Chapter 2 Finale event will begin on Saturday, Dec. 4, at 4 p.m. As with previous events, the playlist will become available 30 minutes before the event begins, which is when players should log in to make sure they don't miss it.
Also similar to past events, this will be a one-time-only event, meaning that if you miss it, there's no going back to see it again. This finale will also mark the end of the current season 8 battle pass. Fortnite's second chapter is finally coming to an end this week, which means it's time for a new in-game event. Before the event, data-miners stated that there will be downtime similar to what we saw with the black hole event that came after the end of chapter 1.
A week before the event was revealed, chapter 2 season 8 was scheduled to end on Monday, December 6th which meant Chapter 3 will release on Tuesday, December 7th 2021. Every season, the Fortnite storyline moves forward introducing new characters to the game, some have considerable impact on the narrative. Here are two Fortnite leaked skins which originally featured during the live event yesterday. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 is still quite a ways away, but leaks have already begun emerging about the upcoming battle pass. Want to know how Season 2 will impact the ongoing conflict between the Foundation and the Seven? Here's everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 based on official and unofficial sources.
In the mean time between the live event and the official start of Season 3, there will likely be some sort of map change. We've seen in previous seasons how a live event has resulted in a minor map change for the in-between time. Such as when the robot took down the monster and left behind a skeleton on the map. The delay also means that the end-of-season event, called "The Device," has also been pushed back, from May 30 to June 6 at 7pm BST.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 Launch Time Few details surrounding the event have been released but Epic Games recommends players show up 30 minutes before it starts as spaces will be limited. The Fortnite map is almost unrecognizable, there are new challenges, new weapons and more. Weapons changes and new Marauder NPCs to fight are just the start. Here are the 7 biggest Fortnite changes you need to know about. For the second time in Fortnite history, the game is set to enter into a new chapter - and marking the end of Chapter 2 Season 8 is a huge one-off live event for players.
Fortnite Chapter 3 is about to begin, to get things ready for the start of Chapter 3, Epic has taken the game offline for server maintenance. There's no official downtime schedule, although previous reports suggest the game will remain offline until at least December 6. The next chapter of Fortnite will bring significant updates, new islands, mechanics, and a Spider-Man skin. Fortnite Chapter 2 came to an end on Saturday, and in the meantime, the Fortnite Chapter 3 trailer has been leaked indicating several news features, weapons, and skins. As expected, there have been a bunch of teaser images shared on Twitter to give fans a glimpse of what they will see in the new season.
One of the first teasers came on Monday, immediately after the Doomsday event. It is simply a discreet picture of some yellow object, which appears to be sticking out of the water. It may have something to do with some kind of a new vehicle, although it could also be some object or a new weapon. Perhaps, one of the more important questions is the start time of the new season.
Epic Games recently announced the downtime for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 and it will start on June 17 at 2 AM ET . Currently, there aren't any details on how long the downtime will last or what will be the update size of the new season. Players can expect the gaming servers to be down for a few hours while the company implements the changes. Fortnite Chapter 3 is expected to begin on Sunday, December 4, 2021, at 10am ET following a day of downtime caused by the Chapter 2 finale – we've got a recap of that brilliant live event here. While you're waiting for the new Fortnite season to start, take the time to check out some of the other great battle royale games on PC – there's a lot of excellent alternates, you know.
The Agency has also been destroyed by the use of The Device and, where the doomsday machine once sat, is now just a pool of water. If you visit the dedicated page for Midas on the battle pass skins, however, you can see the damage remains of the device in the background. Not only does this new season promise a collection of new battle pass skins to unlock and challenges to complete, but there's the promise of some very exciting Fortnite lore developments on the way. The new updated map shows more than a half of the upper side of the island being severely flooded during the first few weeks. But with new seasons, comes new mechanics, POIs, and new weapons.
There are new bosses with new Mythic weapons to find in-game. As for its expected release time, we anticipate that to be sometime in the morning on the East Coast of the United States. Eastern, Season 1 of Chapter 3 changed things up by launching at 10 a.m.
For now, keeping an eye on that four-hour block of time is the best suggestion we have. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 will start on Wednesday, June 17. This is two days after the Fortnite live event that takes place on Monday, June 15. Like previous season changes, the start of the new season typically takes place a little while after the main event begins.
Although this time is slightly different because the live event is taking place on a Monday, the first time ever a season-ending event has happened during a weekday in Fortnite. As part of Fortnite chapter 3, a new challenge system has emerged. While it's fundamentally similar to past iterations, it's presented in a different format than before.
This is a slight change from before, which required you to visit specific NPCs on the map to begin quests. You'll still find character quests, but this time, they simply show up from the Quests screen automatically. Chapter one's end-of-chapter live event was the biggest inFortnite's history.
It was followed by a short period of down-time, before the game returned with a brand new map. If the timer represents the end of Season 2 and beginning of Season 3, when will the new season kick off? This season it is all about making your glider yours with the new Build-a-brella option.
Much like Maya in season 2 there's a suite of options to unlock as season 3 progresses that will let you make your own personal umbrella. As well as basics like color, you'll be able to change every aspect of the umbrella's design including the topper, shaft, canopy, bottom cap and trail color. The physical elements unlock as you level up your battlepass and you'll have to hit 95 if you want it all unlocked. While the colors unlock through challenges that will appear over time.
Season One brings us back to when Battle Royale games were just becoming known.Fortnite's main competition back in those days wasPUBG. With much simpler graphics and fewer weapons and skins to choose from, Chapter One Season One ofFortnite is almost unrecognizable when compared to the current market-dominating game it is today. That is, of course, except for the signature default character.
The folks at Epic Games, makers of Fortnite, shared one image via Twitter, revealing a close-up of the moon. A second, wider view was released in the Fortnite game itself as a promotional screen for the Chapter 2 Season 3 launch on Wednesday. That image revealed that the moon was being carried by an astronaut in a spacesuit. As the clock counts down to the launch of Fortnite's Chapter 2 Season 3 on Wednesday , two images are hinting at the return of astronauts to the battle royale game. Released Monday, the images are actually different views of the same picture and appear to show a spacesuit-clad astronaut holding a small, round mini-moon.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 is scheduled to end with a live event on December 5th. This event would normally transition from Season 8 to Season 9, but a leaker with a solid history in Fortnite thinks differently. The Fortnite Chapter 3 start date according to him would be December 6th or 7th, depending on how long the downtime is between seasons. Fortnite gamers got a new update today that adds a new device to Drill Sites all around the island.
Fortnite v19.10 was released just a few hours ago, and it brings a slew of new features to the game, including two new species of wildlife and the addition of a scanning computer at all Drill Sites. Make sure you've done everything you need to in the current season before the event starts though. Quests from quest packs will carry over to Season 3, but not much else will. Any unused Battle Stars are automatically redeemed, but items for unlocking Toona Fish styles won't be. Cube Queen and other chapter-specific quests will also expire, as will your unused bars.
We're all eager to jump back into the ever-changing world of Fortnite, especially considering this time it's not just a new season, but a whole new chapter. So, here's everything you need to know surrounding Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1, including the expected start time and date. With another epic live event officially in the books, it's a wrap on Chapter 2. Fans have been left floating at sea, staring at the new Island from a distance wondering "what time is Fortnite Chapter 3 actually going to release?
The Fortnite Chapter 2 finale event, called The End, took place on Saturday with players seeing the entire island flipped over. Developer Epic Games took the game offline following the event leaving players waiting to see what happens in Chapter 3. The popular battle royale game ended its second chapter and went offline until the start of Fortnite Chapter 3 on Tuesday. It would be weird for Fortnite to not include a battle pass for the inaugural season of Chapter 3, so of course they've got one ready. The official Polish Fortnite YouTube channel jumped the gun and posted its trailer early, and although it was quickly taken down players had already saved copies.
