Fortnite to temporarily shut down as leak confirms Black Hole event in Chapter 2 Season 8

Fortnite players should be convinced of the arrival of Chapter 3 as multiple leaks suggest Chapter 2 Season 9 is not coming to the game in any possible future. From new mechanics to map leaks, all indications point to Fortnite going through a drastic change that can only be explained by beginning a new &quot;chapter&quot;. Furthermore, there is enough evidence from dataminers that suggest Chapter 3 is a reality, similar to one that will soon be destroyed by the Cube Queen at the end of Season 8.However, bringing in all this change will require a significant amount of time, and leakers have provided evidence that Fortnite might be temporarily made unavailable across the world in order for developers to incorporate new content in store for Chapter 3.Black Hole event will shut down Fortnite for at least two days at the end of Season 8The popular Fortnite leaker Hypex has posted that Fortnite will temporarily be made unavailable for all players after the end of Season 8. The &quot;black hole&quot; downtime will be longer than usual as the Chapter 3 update is a massive one and players will be rejoining the game in a fresh new way.HYPEX@HYPEXNow that &quot;The End&quot; playlist got leaked I can finally talk about this: Chapter 3 is planned to launch on December 7th (It's SOO good btw) and the Blackhole stays during 5th-6th.These sources were NEVER wrong about many things, if they're wrong this time I'll take the blame lol.5:42 AM · Nov 16, 2021121631072Now that &quot;The End&quot; playlist got leaked I can finally talk about this: Chapter 3 is planned to launch on December 7th (It's SOO good btw) and the Blackhole stays during 5th-6th.These sources were NEVER wrong about many things, if they're wrong this time I'll take the blame lol.Therefore, the start date for Fortnite Chapter 3 is December 7, 2021.
