Fortnite is well-known to stir interest around its new Seasons and events by doing the unthinkable. I mean, did you ever think you would attend an EDM concert inside your favorite game? Well, Fortnite made that possible for us. And now, the game has gone ahead and destroyed its own map and Fortnite, as we know it, maybe dead.
The event started with a ton of rockets flying across the sky, hopping from one rift to another and then the meteor (added in Season 10) was gulped by the rift, which then disappeared. While everyone was searching for what happens next, a rocket flew down from a rift up-top and exploded into Zero Point at Loot Lake — followed by the meteor, turning it into a black hole. And well, chaos ensued.
While everyone imagined the Zero Point will explode, the black hole sucked everything. Yeah, everything, including Fortnite’s well-known battle royale map and all the players watching the event. It was a spectacle to behold (truly exciting and mesmerizing), but Fortnite has since been stuck at this screen with a black hole at the center (a haunting background score too). Yes, for the past 12 hours.
All gamers have been unable to get the daily dose of Fortnite, thanks to this mysterious Season 11 event. They have taken to Twitter to mock the black hole and users who have stared at it for the longest time (enraging some). I mean, Epic Games has taken its well-known battle royale game offline in the past to introduce new seasons, but a static black screen is something new and signals the arrival of something new – like Fortnite 2 (or as most users are calling it, Fortnite Chapter 2).
