In Fortnite, we are still in Chapter 2, but not for long as Chapter 3 is just around the corner. What information we already know and what to expect in the new chapter can be found here at MeinMMO.
What is happening in Fortnite right now? After Patch 18.40, resourceful leakers turned over Fortnite’s data to dig up new content. They made a noteworthy discovery. They found out that a special event will take place at the end of Season 8. Additionally, the situation on the island will escalate. The Cube Queen is serious.
All important information about the end
When does Season 8 end? According to the information from the Battle Pass, the current season ends on December 5th. However, this is unusual, as each new season in Fortnite is known to be released on a Tuesday and not on a Sunday.
When does Chapter 3 start? According to Hypex, a well-known leaker in the Fortnite scene, there will be no 9th season, but a new chapter will come. Chapter 3 will start on December 7th and will bring some new content. We have summarized all the important information for you here:
Will there be a live event? Yesterday, leakers released a playlist titled “The End”. This playlist comes from Epic Games and is said to hold the live event for the end of Season 8. Players are speculating whether this will involve a scenario similar to the end of Chapter 1.
There was a show where a rocket was built by one of the legendary Seven. This flew through several rifts and ultimately everything was pulled into a devastating black hole.
Since the Cube Queen, who is currently wreaking havoc on the map, is known for destroying realities, it is believed that she will trigger another catastrophe.
Will there be a new map? Epic stated at the start of Chapter 2 that a new map will appear with the start of each new chapter. Thus, the old map will be replaced or destroyed each time. This ensures variety and fresh air.
Based on the leak and the fact that the Cube Queen likes to destroy anything that wishes to live, one could strongly assume that we will get a new map.
Will there be another black hole? Hypex assumes so. In his announcement and confirmation (via Twitter) that a 3rd chapter will follow, he also mentioned that on December 5-6 a black hole will catapult Fortnite back into nothingness. Thus, during that time you will again have no opportunity to start matches or customize your skins.
Leaks, theories, and new possible content
With an upcoming chapter start, many speculations about new features arise, so we present you with all possible options that could await you.
New sliding feature
It is uncertain whether this feature will be introduced during Season 8 or only at the beginning of Chapter 3. This involves sliding. You can crouch after a sprint and propel yourself forward for a few meters thanks to your slide maneuver.
New map – Home of the Seven?
In Fortnite, there is a story behind all the shooting. In this, the “Seven” play an important role. They can manipulate the zero point, possess superhuman abilities, and have unimaginable expertise in many sciences.
As people abuse the zero point to utilize its inexhaustible energy or to construct a bridge to other realities, they try to avert disasters.
An imploding zero point can transport an entire reality into a black hole. A well-known, albeit old leak indicates a new map on the planet of the Seven. This leak could seem very trustworthy as it correctly predicted nearly all new content for Season 8.
The Season 8 map continues to change
If you think that the current map has changed enough already, you are mistaken. Hypex released the map and how it will look after the Cube Queen’s ritual.
The Foundation may be involved at “The End”
Shiina, a well-known leaker in Fortnite, posted information about a skin that has not been released yet. It is about “The Foundation”, one of the legendary Seven.
Data miners have discovered that his head has been enlarged. Shiina had previously assumed that one of the Seven would make it to the live event at the end of Chapter 2. Now, based on the changes, one could think that Epic enlarged this skin specifically for the event to adapt it to the circumstances of the battle.
We will update this post as more information becomes available.
What do you think about the announcement of a new chapter? Are you surprised? Or would you have liked to spend more seasons on the current map? Let us know in the comments!
