Summary
FortniteChapter 5 Season 4 will reportedly see the return of the infamous black hole event, which previously rendered the game unplayable during the transition from Chapter 1 into Chapter 2. As leakers and data miners continue to uncover details on the next season ofFortnite,in-game files suggest not only will players see the return of Chapter 2, but also the accompanying black hole live event leading up to its launch.
As there are still a few weeks to go until the next season begins, players are patiently waiting for the nextFortniteHalloween event known as Fortnitemares. Every October, Epic Games celebrates the spooky season with a plethora of in-game cosmetics, challenges, weapons, and updates that all center around Fortnitemares. This year is expected to be no different as leaks all but confirm that iconic horror villains such as Leatherface and Billy the Puppet will be making their way toFortnitefor the 2024 event. While Epic Games is yet to confirm when this year’s event will begin, data miners believe the new content update will be released on October 15, which is highly likely given that the studio often releases newFortniteupdates on a Tuesday.
Previous leaks revealed that the next season ofFortnitewill see Chapter 2 make a triumphant return, but now data miners such asEgyptian_Leakerhave uncovered evidence that suggests the game’s current season will end with a black hole live event, similar to that of Chapter 1’s back in 2019. The leaker also claims that the final event of the season will consist of six different phases, but details on what each phase will consist of are currently unknown.
Fortnite Could Kick-Off OG Chapter 2 With Black Hole Event
Back in 2019,Fortnitewas offline for a staggering 37 hoursas Epic Games made preparations for a new era of the game with Chapter 2 Season 1. As Chapter 1 drew to a close,Fortnitefans witnessed a historical live event that culminated in the entire island being sucked into a black hole. For almost two entire days, the game remained completely unplayable as fans could do nothing but stare into the void with no indication from Epic as to whenFortnitewould come back online. Now, with another OG season reportedly arriving in November, the studio looks to be keeping things authentic and taking fans back to the black hole event.
Just when gamers thoughtFortnitecouldn’t get any bigger, the hit battle royale game skyrocketed in popularity back in November 2023 as Epic Games brought back theoriginalFortnitemap with Chapter 4: Season OG. It would go on to become the title’s most successful season, peaking at a mind-blowing 44.7 million concurrent players. Now the studio looks to be aiming to recreate that success as the game’s next season is heavily rumored to be returning to Chapter 2, with the chapter’s original map and weapons also rumored to return once again.
