In our fleshy actual world, the doomsday clock is a nifty little system for understanding how shut the human race is to oblivion. As of this January, it sits at two minutes to midnight, because of the “simultaneous existential threats” of local weather change and warfare. Never one to reject a good suggestion, Fortnite: Battle Royale has carried out its personal countdown to the tip of the world. Only, Fortnite’s finish gained’t be fairly as apocalyptic, heralding in a brand new season – and a possible new map – this Sunday, October seventh.
T-minus 6 days, three hours and counting, people.
Fortnite’s 10th season might need managed to push back the end by one week, however each season should come to a detailed. That ought to now be abundantly clear to the combatants of homicide island, because of the looks of countdown timers on TV screens littered throughout the map.
In case you miss these, there’s an extra-large holographic clock on prime of the Dusty Depot rocket, under.
Leakers reckon the tip of Season 10 will culminate in an enormous occasion known as (shockingly) The End. That rocket is certain to take off, leaving the island in some form of dimension-shattering carnage. The time-and-space cleanup crew will then hop in and provides the map a do-over, based on a bunch of latest location names dug up from the game’s information.
Season 11, then, is anticipated to be one thing of a soft-reset for the isle of slaughter. For two years, Epic have been slapping new bits onto the map, tossing out outdated ones, then bringing the outdated ones again once more. I’m certain that’s all fairly enjoyable and refreshing to observe, however ah! My artist’s eye sheds a tear on the visible mess of all of it.
The timer is ready to hit zero on October 13th at 7pm BST (11am Pacific).
