Fortnite Season 1 Chapter 2 is slowly coming to an end. But what about the live event that is supposed to take place? Here is the current situation in the game.
What kind of live event is this? Since the end of Season 3, Fortnite has been telling a story. And since Season 3, in March 2017, there have been live events in Fortnite that conclude a season.
We have already experienced several things in Fortnite.
- a meteor impact,
- a rocket launch
- a explosion of Kevin the magical cube
- other dimensions
- a snowstorm
- a battle of giants
- and finally a black hole that swallowed the Fortnite map
But what about the live event at the end of Season 1 Chapter 2?
Will the live event even take place?
Season 1 Chapter 2 will end on February 20, 2020. So we have to wait another 10 days until this endless season finally ends. So far, there are no indications of how it will end.
What hints speak against a live event?
Last update of Season 1 already in the game: The last Update 11.50 of this season was released on Thursday, February 5, 2020. With the update Fortnite switched to the new “Chaos” physics system of Unreal Engine 4. However, there hasn’t been much noticeable change so far.
The last update of a season is also important because you can find the data for the live events there. Dataminers look for this data to know approximately what we can expect.
However, no hints that point to a live event were found with this update 11.50. So what’s the status of the event at the end of Season 1?
Here’s why Season 1 is different in Fortnite this time: Normally, some map changes are made during a season in Fortnite. Additionally, the game tells a clear story through map changes and loading screens.
This story in Fortnite constantly evolves and prepares players for the end of the season. In this season, there were almost no changes to the map, and there was no clear story.
Only a story that the players have put together themselves points to a criminal organization in Fortnite.
What hints are there for an event?
However, there is one hint and speculation that would suggest a live event at the end of Season 1.
The hidden story of the Gold King: There is a small story that is told in the background of Fortnite. However, you hardly notice it, but when you add all the hints together, a cool story emerges.
Suddenly objects on the map turn to gold. These items also cannot be destroyed and it is still unclear why they are changing.
There is also a leaked skin that hasn’t shown up in the item shop yet. This one also fits perfectly with the gold theme.
This refers to the Gold King, who was found in the data by dataminers. He is a skeleton completely covered in gold and wearing a crown. Here’s how he looks:
This skin could be an interpretation of the Greek mythological figure Midas. The legend states that the mythical king Midas could turn everything into gold as soon as he touched it.
This would fit the story of Fortnite. Perhaps the Gold King turns all objects on the Fortnite map to gold without us noticing.
Could we see a similar live event like the Ice King? If it were to play out that way, it would be fun to see an entire golden map.
It is still unclear whether we will receive a live event at the end of Season 1 Chapter 2. However, it would be the first time since Season 3 that no live event would take place at the end of a season in Fortnite.
We at MeinMMO hope that we will get an event and will keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available.
What do you think? Will we get a live event at the end of Season 1 or not?
