Fortnite chapter 1 ended with nothing but darkness, or rather, a giant black hole.
After months of perpetual season changes with new features and customizable options, Fortnite decided to plunge the entire server into a black hole out of the blue without any notice or confirmation about further plans about what happens after that, but worry not! For it is not even close to the end. The other news is that, just like how you rent your own Terraria server, you can now also rent a Fortnite server and play with literally anyone across the globe.
After the two day of silence, where millions of fans were left in the dark. Fortnite finally introduced a massive update of the so-called “chapter 2” of Fortnite. The new chapter brings about one of the most significant changes to the game ever since its launch in 2017.
Fortnite Chapter Two is available for download now! The download file is 5.27GB for mobile, 13GB for consoles, and 14.9GB for PC.
