The big live event with Galactus has blown the world of Fortnite away. Before the start of Season 5, Fortnite is down, before it continues on Wednesday, December 2.
Update December 2, 5:50 AM: Before Season 5 starts, there will be another server downtime to deploy the major update. MeinMMO will summarize the most important information in an article.
This is how the event went: After a long wait, it finally happened: Galactus was done just standing on the horizon and rose up. Driven by hunger, he attacked the Fortnite island, sent a helicarrier to hell, and attacked the “Zero Point”.
But with the help of Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, and an armada of Battle Buses, players were able to show the world devourer his limits. The big guy swallowed the bomb-filled buses and exploded. That was the event in a nutshell – here you can find the exact course of events.
However, it seems that the Galactus event left a lasting impression. Because Fortnite will now be unavailable for quite some time.
Season 5 starts early in the morning
When will it continue? After Galactus flew into the air, the screen went dark – and if anyone remembers the black hole, they might have felt a bit reminded of it. This time, however, it won’t take as long until it continues.
Because shortly after, the message appeared that Season 5 will start in over 7 hours. The countdown ends on December 2, at 6:00 AM. So it should continue in Fortnite at that time. Currently, the game is unavailable and only shows the screen with the countdown.
What happens next? What is in Season 5 of Chapter 2 is mostly unknown so far. The event ended with a kind of big bang from Galactus, who had previously devoured all the players – from this, little can be derived so far.
At the very end, the startled Jonesy woke up in his office, where an alarm was causing a commotion. Will this situation lead to a continuation of the story? It is not the first time we see Jonesy in an office – this situation also occurred during the live event “The Device”. On Wednesday, at 6:00 AM, we will probably know more.
There were actually some early hints regarding the Battle Pass. Some skins have already been leaked. Everything about the new Battle Pass in Season 5 can be found here.
