There’s quite a bit right here, too, that Fortnite lore followers will respect. As Hope herself requested, who was piloting the mecha workforce chief’s mech? (A member of the Seven?) Will the mothership reappear as soon as the dice is destroyed? (Sure, see under!) And the way will Epic Video games come out on high of this subsequent yr?
After finishing the gameplay portion of the occasion, some gamers reported that the sport all of a sudden crashed when surprising cutscenes started to air. The cinematic, which you’ll be able to watch in its entirety under, apparently briefly recaps the now-resurrected Fortnite’s authentic storyline, making it completely clear that the sport will give attention to the heroic Seven and their battle in opposition to a dice civilization known as the Final Actuality.
Gamers then acquired a glimpse of what is subsequent for the sport (in fact, Epic Video games could not assist however make a 6-7 joke within the course of). Fortnite Chapter 7 begins with our heroes having fun with life in a brand new map themed across the southern United States. Discover a Fortnite-esque model of Hollywood and Space 51, in addition to recent gameplay modifications like wingsuits and a drivable reboot van. Every little thing appears fairly calm till The Final Actuality’s mothership truly reveals up (and promptly blows up Fortnite’s beloved Battle Bus!).
and after that thatfor these nonetheless linked, Fortnite has actually come to an finish. The sport has been offline for a number of hours now, and Chapter 7 is predicted to start when the sport comes again on-line later tonight.
