Rumour: Fortnite To Be Re-Branded As Fortnite: Chapter 2 With New Map, According To Leak

Fortshite: Number 2.

As the in game messages stated, no one could have theorised the formation of the Island, how interdimensional activity could form such a thing instead of break. But the Bridge must be saved, the Seven must complete their mission from within the Loop, and the Zero Point must be contained once again.

They are watching, and if They are correct, it will be the end.

So glad my kids are over this game now. Hopefully it meets the expectations of those who still enjoy it though!

Wish the sub-title stopped at "game".

Oh god it's multiplying

No Just stop get a life No more of this game..

@redd214 Yeah I was hoping that this fad would be over. Fortnite is one of those pop culture phenomenons for kids so I figured it would go the same way as the things that were popular when I was a kid.

@PBandSmelly Actually this is the result of 10 seasons worth of lore. What's happening at the end of this season amounts to everything from the past 10 seasons pushed towards 1 ultimate climax. After this, Fortnite will be getting a brand new start

Adding in a brand new map is just what Fortnite needed to shake things up. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the lore of this time around after the build up of the previous 10 seasons worth of lore.

@JayJ I honestly feel Fortnite will survive like Pokemon and Minecraft did before. this isn't like Moshi Monsters or Flappy Bird, there's genuine all-ages appeal and staying power, whether you like it or not.

Meanwhile mii and @SheldonRandoms still play this game casually and is looking forward to the update.

Fortnite won't go away because it is the only battle royale that is geared towards kids. No amount of battle royale competitors will replace this one, sadly. Play better games, kids

@Noid I think you are getting a bit carried away with the "all ages appeal," the game is clearly centered around appealing to a very young age group as far as online gaming is concerned and it's complex mechanics and fast twitch action isn't exactly friendly to older people. It isn't a secret how the vast majority of people playing it are kids.

@ummyeahnintendo Yeah I don't think this will go away, I just think the "mania" pop culture phenomenon status will go away. I imagine it's going to go down like Pokemon where it was this massive thing with a whole generation of kids, then they got older and became more interested in teen stuff. I am sure it's going to be around like Pokemon is, the point is that kids interests quickly change with age and good concepts seem to last.

@JayJ Actually Fortnite was aimed towards adults with its initial incarnation as a Zombie survival game. That didn't do so good, so they decided to try and ring in a large online audience with a Battle Royal version of the game. And it worked.....a little too well as the game was being massively covered on Youtube and Twitch. And who constantly watchs Youtube/Twitch and are easily influenced to download a free to play game just because their favorite gamers are playing them? If you guessed kids you are right. Also are you forgetting games like Halo and COD having kids flood their online servers? Those are the same kids who hopped onto Fortnite. It was a game that wasn't meant to bring in a younger audience, but the hype of the game is what brought them in.

Have to laugh at the snobby gaming elitists judging people for enjoying something just because they don't like it. I'm glad to see Fortnite still doing well and bringing enjoyment to any and all who enjoy it.

The only part I like about Fortnite is that it keeps paying for weekly free games on the Epic Games Store.

Yes ! Im so hyped every ios leak turned out real to this point

Fartnut #2: Electric boogaloo

@ummyeahnintendo There's this new game kids will love called "Reality". The goal is to not become a hermit who plays games at age 30.

The absolutely infantile replies are ironic considering you're mocking it for being popular with children. People on this site need to mature.

@Dakotastomp You're on a gaming news site

I'm looking forward to it as this season was such a disappointment. The one before was lots of fun, yet this one was just a downturn gameplay wise.

Gonna be a new season pass and I'll see what it'll bring

I never hated Fortnite, but it's WAY too overrated and at its core it's nothing but a fun little distraction that gets old after a few matches. I wish it wasn't treated like the second coming of Christ for doing things any other game can do better.

@Lordplops My man

@bluemage1989 Finally, a legitimately considerate comment. I am getting sick of all the hate.

@bluemage1989 imagine being mad at people who have an opinion you don't agree with on a game online lmao

@Lordplops Look I dont mind if you hate the game. But some people enjoy it. So please chill.

People really hate Fortnite.

@Peterjr1 and yet I haven't let a game consume my life like these little self entitled brats do. Just take the game away and just watch them scream and cry for it back before telling them to go play outside. We need better parenting and better self control over the time we play games. Hell, Fortnite really isn't that fun anymore.

@Dakotastomp wow I don't understand how anyone could type that and then press send.

@Peterjr1 Am i wrong? Do you not think kids are addicted to playing too many games?

@Octarian your comment contradicts itself.

@Lordplops uuuuuum how so?

All that’s left is some mysterious black hole at the time of writing... Even having trouble accessing the Epic Games Launcher after that.

A notice from the devs has been given that all your stuff gained over the seasons is maintained safe during this Fortnite blackout.

A brand new setting? To me it looks more like a renovated Loot Lake with Tilted... Houses?

But I'm pretty excited for it actually, I want to see how the new map will look
