Fortnite‘s had a good run. Since an admittedly awkward 2017 launch, it’s develop into this cultural behemoth, utterly unparseable but unstoppably well-liked. But it’s acquired some bloat over these two years – Map places have vanished, reappeared and warped out and in. Weapons and gimmicks have floated out and in of an interdimensional vault, a vault intimately tied to the battle royale’s ongoing plot.
That’s loads of baggage for a game the place 100 vibrant weirdos parachute onto an island and homicide one another. Perhaps it’s time to wipe the slate clear. If latest leaks are to be believed, which may be simply what Fortnite’s about to get.
Artwork for Fortnite: Capitolo 2 – Chapter 2, for us poor monolinguists – appear to have leaked over on the Italian iOS App Store, Fortnite Insider found earlier at the moment. Tellingly, the paintings additionally isn’t readily recognisable as wherever in Fortnite’s current map. Yes, it’s nonetheless inexperienced and filled with timber, however they’re totally different timber. Plus, there are boats! Whole new look.
If true, this leak would help quite a lot of leaked map location names found across the time we reported Season 10’s delayed ending. With 12 new areas present in textual content recordsdata, followers reckoned Fortnite may very well be a due a mushy reboot.
I’m personally not acquainted sufficient with Fortnite’s homicide island to know for certain, although. At such a low decision, it might simply be one other angle on the prevailing map, cleaned of all of the detritus it’s acquired during the last two years. New map or not, although, it seems like Chapter 2 might fairly simply be a mushy reboot for the battle royale. Look at that display – there’s not a Batman or time-rift or…
The finish of Season 10 is coming at 7pm on Sunday, presumably with one other stay in-game occasion. If Fornite does deliver Chapter 1 to an in depth right here, the game may very well be a totally totally different beast this time subsequent week. Maybe, simply possibly, they’ll even ditch the complicated early entry label.
It’s been 2 years, Epic. Nobody’s shopping for it.
