In a recent video, the Fortnite veteran clarified that he is confident about the release of Chapter 2 Season 9 and Chapter 2 Season X.Fortnite Chapter 2 is already longer than Chapter 1Chapter 2 had three seasons (Season 1,2 and 5) that were longer than usual. As a result, the total length of the ongoing chapter 2 has already surpassed Chapter 1.If the three seasons weren't that long, Fortnite could have reached the ending of Chapter 2 Season X at the moment.HYPEX 🐐@HYPEXChapter 2 is now the exact same length as Chapter 1 (747 days)If Season 1, 2 & 5 didn't take +100 days we would've been at the end of Season X right now.10:49 AM · Oct 31, 20218539328Chapter 2 is now the exact same length as Chapter 1 (747 days)If Season 1, 2 & 5 didn't take +100 days we would've been at the end of Season X right now.Even though many content creators have rejected the possibility of Chapter 2 Season 8 being the last season for Chapter 3, their videos tell a different story.Both Tabor Hill and SypherPK ended their recent videos on Fortnite Chapter 3 by saying:"Catch you guys on the flipside."It is worth noting that the 'Flipside' in Fortnite could be another reality that can be reached through an IO bridge.HYPEX 🐐@HYPEX2 weeks ago @TaborTimeYT uploaded a video titled "Chapter 3 May Be Closer Than You Think" and at the end he says "Catch ya on the flipside".And today @SypherPK uploaded a video titled "Fortnite Chapter 3 is SOON!" and he says "Catch you guys on the flipside" at the end. 👀2:59 AM · Nov 1, 202185373972 weeks ago @TaborTimeYT uploaded a video titled "Chapter 3 May Be Closer Than You Think" and at the end he says "Catch ya on the flipside".And today @SypherPK uploaded a video titled "Fortnite Chapter 3 is SOON!" and he says "Catch you guys on the flipside" at the end. 👀If the Cube Queen destroys the current reality in Chapter 2 Season 8, loopers will naturally have no other alternative but to use the IO bridge and reach the flipside. This other side can undoubtedly be a new world (Chapter 3 map).Donald Mustard, who loves dropping teasers, was once talking about the future of Fortnite. To everyone's surprise, the Creative Director at Epic Games didn't name Chapter 2 Season 9 and Chapter 2 Season 10 specifically, and it is unlikely that he chose such phrasing for no reason.HYPEX 🐐@HYPEXDonald never name dropped Season 9 & 10, he just says Season 7 and "the two after it". And then there's that last sentence..There's no way this wording is random lol3:17 AM · Nov 1, 20217179303Donald never name dropped Season 9 & 10, he just says Season 7 and "the two after it".
