A new chapter in the history of Fortnite Game has started

This was preceded by a global catastrophe that gave rise to conspiracy theories

In one of the most popular online games, Fortnite ended the large -scale event “end”, which was timed to the beginning of the new head of the game. Such events take place in the game from time to time and change the gameplay. This time the event was so large -scale that all the records for views on streaming services broke.

Last season ended with a global disaster

Fortnite has seasons that last 10 weeks. After the end of each, the developers introduce new plot moves, add or remove game items, change the island on which events unfold, and introduce new mechanics. But this time, the game ended not only the 10th season, but the whole first chapter-therefore, the changes turned out to be more radical.

The end of the season looked like this: a rocket launched from the island, which hit the sky. The faults formed in the sky, on which other missiles began to beat. In the end, a huge wormhole opened on the map, into which the whole island with the players dragged out. All that remains after that is an empty screen with a black hole. For more than a day after that, the players instead of the interface saw on the screens only a shining wormhole.

Fortnite Top10's this is what it looked like

The event was observed by more than 4.5 million people on Yetube, one and a half million on Twitch and another million on Twitter. For Twitch, it was a record for an audience that simultaneously following some game.

Not only the game suffered from the black hole

Together with the Fortnite interface, the site and official social networks of the game “sucked” in the black hole. More than 12 thousand records were removed to launch the “end” event from Twitter. On Instagram and other social networks changed the design to “black”, thereby showing the void.

By the beginning of the new storyline, the accounts updated the design, and on Twitter all the remote entries somehow restored .

Conspirological theories arose around a black hole

Brown players noticed that some numbers periodically appeared around the black hole and disappeared. One of the rows looks like this: 146, 11, 15 and 62.

"Everyone is trying to understand what the numbers from Fortnite mean"

The community immediately began to build the theory about what all this is. One of the users decided that these were the coordinates, and introduced them to Google Maps. He had crabs:

“This is not a joke. Fortnite is incredibly trolls of all of us. If you enter the numbers 11 146 15 62 in Google Maps and click on the first link, then get a picture from the street that shows the “crab rave” ”

Twitch put forward a crazy theory: numbers mean that in the new season Fortnite will appear aquaman.

The official account of the TEAM Secret e-sports organization painted the number as follows: 11 years-this is the average age of players in Fortnite, 146 hours-you will have to wait for a new chapter, 15 days-after so many players will get bored with the 11th season, 62-the employees of the organization from the moment the black hole appeared in the game.

Another theory: numbers are an encrypted message to players from the main antagonist of the 10th season, The Visitor. According to the plot, he arrived to destroy the temporary loop into which the Fortnite Island fell. The players were offered to collect his notes, and those who did it carefully were able to decipher the message.

“The audio recording of The Visitor ... 11th word. 146th word. 15th word. 62nd, 87th, 14th, 106th, 2nd, 150th word. "I am not alone. The others were outside the loops" "

Meanwhile, the numerical row grew to this: 11, 146, 15, 62, 87, 14, 106, 2, 150, 69, 146, 15, 36, 2, 172, 8, 160 and 65. If you adhere to the principle described above, you will get the following text: “I am not alone. Others were outside the loops. It was unpredictable. The moment is inevitable. "

And in a black hole they hid a mini-game

For those who are tired of sitting and just looking at a shining wormhole, the developers left another secret. If on the screen with a black hole the player introduced the “Konami code” , he launched a mini-game. In it, in the role of a piece of pizza, it was necessary to resist the falling burgers.

Memes!

"God, I know what happened to Fordnite"

"By the way, Matthew McConah would solve this issue"

"The sixth hour of a black hole in Fortnite went ... We started going crazy"

"Simpsons predicted what will happen in the 11th season Fortnite"

Among those who reacted to the event was the astrophysicist and popularizer of science Neil Degrass Tyson:

"Have you recently had no problems with a black hole in Fordnite?"

And Elon Musk remembered the comic tweet year ago that he bought Fortnite and deleted it:

The new chapter and 11th season in Fortnite started. What has changed?

On the morning of October 15, the Black Hole broadcast finally ended and the players showed that the servers are maintained. A few hours later the trailer of the second chapter came out, and the new season officially started.

As the players suggest, the landscape has completely changed in the game. The card only slightly reminds of the last season to some names (for example, a "pleasant park").

The game was added to the game to fish in reservoirs (so it will be possible to catch different objects, including weapons), boats, and you can finally dive into the water. You can also put a wounded partner on the shoulders and take it to a safe place, as well as hide in the garbage tank.

The developers worked on the weapon: they redid the old weapons and added a new one - for example, a “bandage bazuk”, which allows you to treat partners. The game also has the opportunity to improve equipment using building materials (wood, stone, iron) and hide in haystacks.
