Painfully echoing the overlapping weeks of containment, the wait for Fortnite's new season will also be prolonged. Epic Games has announced on its official website that Chapter 2 Season 2 won't end until June 4 — and not April 30 as originally planned.
The publisher promises challenges, innovative game modes and other "surprises". Still, the news remains tough for the entire community, which still remembers the time when the seasons were fast paced.
Last week, dataminers had already found files that predicted a season finale a few dozen days later than expected. A series of challenges, including those affiliated with Deadpool, were predicting a later-than-expected end to the season.
None of the leakers expected such a delay, which is similar to the one that took place during the previous season, which inaugurated Chapter 2. "Season 1 Chapter 2" had been the longest in Fortnite history, lasting more than 128 days and crystallizing concerns and anger among many players.
Professional players have raised the alarm this weekend about in-game bugs making the competition less fun. The #RIPFortnite hashtag has been spreading quickly on social networks, also welcoming more casual gamers, disappointed by the low influx of new content in recent weeks. Even though this season is much more dynamic than the previous one in terms of new features, players will have to be patient. One more time.
Deployment of update 12.40 has enabled dataminers around the world to retrieve unpublished cosmetics files, which will be released in the coming weeks in Fortnite.
