After the Black Hole: 11 Changes in Fortnite Chapter 2

Say what you will about Fortnite: the developers know how to make an impression on players!

On Sunday, October 13, the game shut down for two days. In-game players saw the game’s island getting sucked into a black hole. Afterward, no one could launch the game. Fortnite’s official Twitter account even temporarily deleted all of its tweets after one last message: “This is The End.”

Fortunately, “the end” only lasted about 36 hours. When the game returned on Tuesday, players were greeted with a “Chapter 2.” This new update promises a whole new experience for the rabid fanbase.

You don’t have to personally jump into a black hole to discover the new secrets. We’ve put together a definitive guide to the changes in Fortnite Chapter 2 after the “black hole.”

Shirts and Skins

Once upon a time, the Fortnite characters and skins were relatively unknown. Now, they are some of the most iconic designs in gaming history.

The developers, however, are not content to rest on their previous successes. Fortnite Chapter 2 gets rid of these old skins in favor of brand new designs. Here’s to finding your new favorite design!

New Map

Fortnite’s most defining feature is its map. While other games have a variety of levels, this game has one giant map that features a series of cool locations just waiting to be explored.

Arguably, the map is Fortnite Chapter 2’s biggest change. The black hole was quite literal: it sucked the old map into the void. While we may never see the classic map again, the newest chapter brings an entirely new space for you to turn into one giant battlezone.
