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. Now, the official countdown timer is live in-game and Epic, after several leaks, has officially announced the Fortnite Season 8 live event, which could easily be one of the biggest players have seen. Here's everything you should know about the Fortnite Chapter 2 finale countdown, event time, and more. Supporting the shorter downtime, tipster @iFireMonkeytweeted on December 5, 2021, that players can expect to see Chapter 3 as soon as tomorrow, i.e. As the game is back online, Fortnite Chapter 3 Battle Pass will also be revealed, along with multiple new elements and skins in the game.
Ever since Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 ended, #FortniteFlippedhas been trending on Twitter, as the island was flipped upside down in the Season 8 finale. Stay tuned for more details on when will Fortnite Chapter 3 start and other gaming news. Fortnite fans shall note that Chapter 2, along with Season 8 Battle Pass ended on December 4, 2021. From previous downtimes, it is clear that Fortnite will take some time to make necessary changes to its servers and prepare the game for the next chapter. At the end of Chapter 2, players witnessed the Cube Queen opening an extradimensional portal, allowing alien ships to enter the island.
At the end of the season finale, the Fortnite island flipped and landed on water upside-down. Fortnite seems to have launched a new website, which carries the name Flip The Island and is expected to reveal more details shortly. Fortnite also dropped a mid-season space event called the "Galaxy Cup", on July 26 and 27. Top-tier android players could compete for a Galaxy Scout outfit and other gear, while all participants received a basic galactic "wrap" for weapons after doing some of the tournament.
A few weeks later, Fortnite made the Galaxy Scout outfit, glider, harvesting tools and wrap available in the store for two days. It's unknown when the set will be back, but keep checking daily when the content refreshes. 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 begins very soon, more than two years after the infamous black hole swallowed the battle royale universe to kick off Chapter 2 in 2019. According to the latest leaks, rumors, and official announcements, Chapter 2 will be two seasons shorter than its predecessor despite lasting for longer overall.
Details remain scarce, but here's everything we know about Battle Royale's next big overhaul with regard to important dates, skins, and features fans might see in the new map. In total, the start of the third season has been delayed about five weeks from its original debut date. The second season began in late February, so it'll have lasted about four months by the time players get to finally move on to Chapter 2 – Season 3. 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. 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. 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. Season 3, according to Epic Games will bring massive changes to the game.
Eagle eyed players have already started to notice subtle changes to the map. Small puddles of water have appeared all over the map, along with hatches in the water around The Agency Spy Base. These hatches form part of the Fortnite Storm the Agency challenges, but these subtle details suggest that Season 3 might have a water based theme. 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. Apparently, an Epic Games insider leaked out multiple features and details on Season 3. The ol' "my uncle works for Epic Games and told me this" sort of thing. Fortnite's second chapter is finally coming to an end this week, which means it's time for a new in-game event.
Fortnite Chapter 3 release date is one of the most discussed topics on the internet right now. Some data minders say that the game will be back online with a new chapter and Fortnite Chapter 3 battle pass on Tuesday, December 7. It is one of the safest guesses as Fortnite generally brings new updates to the game on Tuesdays.
Those who have been playing Fortnite for a while should know that Fortnite was down for less than two days after Chapter 1 was concluded. 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. Long-time players may remember that space themes have been around a while. A Millennium Falcon-shaped glider was available to all gamers for free, during last December's Winterfest.
Astronauts debuted in 2018 during the Chapter 1 Season 3 Battle Pass. Live events in the game have also included a comet, asteroid impacts and even a huge black hole that swallowed the Fortnite map whole at the end of Chapter 1, in October 2019. Chapter 1 had 10 Seasons and after that Fortnite provided the most memorable event in the history of the battle royale game.
The ending saw the island getting sucked into a Black Hole and leaving a black screen available for the players for hours. Epic Games could be planning another Fortnite in-game concert, at least based on some posters that have appeared on the battle royale island, as well as a new batch of leaks. The news follows the recent discovery of an in-game event codenamed 'Jerky,' which was noted as an addition to the same playlist used for the previous Marshmello in-game concert. 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. 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. 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.
A new piece of key art for Fortnite was spotted on the PlayStation store, which shows the Battle Bus flying over massive body of water. Season 3 of Epic Games' ever-changing battle royale flooded a huge portion of the map and added new threats in the waters, from Marauders to Fortnite sharks that you can either ride or kill for loot. Of course, there's also a fresh Fortnite Battle Pass loaded with new Fortnite skins to collect and 100 tiers to grind through by completing challenges every week. 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 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. Epic Games has been continuously entertaining fans with lots of activities in Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 2. The game is about to receive the new Fortnite update 12.51 which will bring new events, cosmetics, and more. The upcoming update has already been leaked online and if you want to know the details, you can follow this link.
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. Worry not, though, as we've been promised "lots of content" for the rest of the current season with multiple updates on the way and there's likely to be new Overtime Challenges to tide you over.
Alongside these challenges, you can expect to earn a bunch bonus XP, new skins and a few other surprises. For a water-themed season, Fortnite surprisingly has a lot of space skins and content available in its levels. The "Battle Pass" (available for 1,000 V-bucks or $7.99 USD) is advertised as including Levels 1 to 100, although more content unlocks well into the 100s.
Following the game-changing Chapter 2 finale event, the Cube Queen was destroyed but the Island was flipped upside down in the process, revealing a brand new map for players to explore on its underside. 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. 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. Fortnite Chapter 2 has ended along with the Season 8 finale event called "The End." Since the event, Epic Games has remained silent on when is Fortnite Chapter 3 coming out.
Later last month, it was speculated that Chapter 3 of Fortnite will begin on December 6 or 7, depending upon the time it takes for the developers to update the game. Currently, the Fortnite servers are offline and the game is down for maintenance. 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. 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. 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. In any case, with the new season dropping on the 27th, it's safe to assume that the big Season 3-ending Live Event will take place on Saturday, August 22nd.
Typically each season caps off with some huge Live Event the Saturday ahead of the new season's release. Interestingly, there aren't too many theories about what will happen to the battle royale game's island next season. It seems like Epic Games have done it all in the short time since the game launched, but we're sure they'll manage to pull something fresh out the bag for Season 3.
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. 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.
The newest season in the popular game saga begins less than 48 hours after Tuesday evening's epic live event called 'The Device'. A couple of years later, I traversed to the professional Counter-Strike 1.6 scene. After the competitive ERA, I managed to find the gaming industry amusing and started working on FGR. My mission is to lurk and discover secrets, create guides and provide you with some important news. It's that time of the year again where Epic Games brings us a tasty new update for its ever-popular Battle Royale game, Fortnite. With the release of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3, players will now find themselves battling it out on an island map that's almost entirely submerged by water.
Only a few places remain above the surface, and players will need to get used to swimming about if they're going to get that all-important Victory Royale. 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 only main reason why December 7 seems to be the date in which Fortnite Chapter 3 will begin is because Tuesday is the typical day of the week in which Epic Games updates the title. On Sunday (Aug. 16), the astronaut , landed in Fortnite's item shop for players to buy with Epic's in-game currency V-bucks. He also has a backbling called Lunar Sim, a glider called Starcross and moon-themed wrap called Homescape for his gear.
If you think that the point of Epic Games' Fortnite is fighting out a battle royale to win at the end, think again. Yes, you can focus on winning that sweet Victory Royale if you want. But for space nerds, the game's current season is filled with ancient astronauts, spaceships and more. 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.
