Fortnite has been down since the end of Season 10 and everyone is looking into the black hole, wondering what's going on and what if anything in store for us? The web is buzzing about it, pulling puns and making jokes, and even Elon Musk, the famous tech entrepreneur, joked that he might be behind the black hole.

And, of course, that reassures us that the game will continue.
Heavily named Chapter 2, Fortnite seems to have a few cool features, such as new ways to level up, earn medals in all areas (even chopping down trees), and fishing under fire… He also hints at new cosmetics, over 100 new rewards, and all in all, a whole new chapter for Battle Royale extravagance.
