In Fortnite the Season 2 is likely ending with a live event. A countdown timer has now started, counting the hours and minutes until the live event begins. We at MeinMMO are bringing you up to date: How does Season 2 end? What can we expect for Season 3?
Then the countdown timer ends: The countdown is ticking down to Saturday, May 30, 2020, at 20:05 our time.
Since Season 3 is supposed to start on June 4, 2020, which is Thursday of the following week, the event will likely initiate the end of Season 2.
The timer is visible in the normal start menu of a Fortnite match.
It will probably be a “Doomsday” event
What kind of live event will it be? The players of Fortnite have been speculating for weeks that a live event could end Season 2. These speculations have been fueled by findings from data miners.
In the headquarters of the agents, at The Agency, in the middle of the map, five objects were found underwater that became active today on May 23.
The speculations about the event currently assume that a battle between the rival agent organizations Ghost and Shadow over The Agency will escalate, accompanied by the activation of a “doomsday device”.
How exactly this will unfold is not known at the moment. However, it may well be that the level 100 battle pass skin Midas will play an important role in the live event.
In Midas’ office, the countdown timer can also be seen counting down.
Will Fortnite put its new map underwater for Season 3?
What happens next? This is also speculation at the moment, but the rumor persists that Season 3 of Fortnite Chapter 2 will be themed “water.” Therefore, it is possible that the event will end in some sort of disaster, resulting in a new or at least significantly altered Fortnite map.
We will certainly learn more when the countdown timer in Fortnite ticks down to 0 on May 30, 2020, and the spectacle begins.
In the past, such events have always been grandly staged and attracted top viewer numbers on Twitch and YouTube. The event marking the start of Chapter 2, the “Black Hole,” was watched by 7 million people simultaneously in October 2019.
Even more viewers were reached by the last live event, a concert by the musician Travis Scott in Fortnite. Over 12.3 million players watched that.
MeinMMO author Eilyn Rapp has already mentally engaged with the idea of what happens if Season 3 in Fortnite really has so much to do with water. She does not like the thought at all.
Whether all this will really happen and whether Epic will actually transform its flagship Fortnite into a water world will be revealed next Saturday evening. The live events in Fortnite have not yet disappointed and have always been a spectacle. So we can look forward to what Epic Games comes up with this time.
