Setbacks
It’s one of a series of delays that hardcore Fortnite fans have had to endure recently.
Chapter 2, Season 2 has been running for quite some time, stretching back to February. But it was also delayed, as Chapter 2, Season 1 had originally been set to finish up in December of last year.
Aware that antsy gamers won’t quietly put up with a second delay, Epic has promised that fresh new events will still land as part of the extended season.
“We have multiple game updates on the way that will deliver fresh gameplay, new Challenges, bonus XP, and a couple more surprises up our sleeve”, the developer said in a newblog post.
Epic hasn’t given an explicit reason for the delay, but it can be assumed that the current global pandemic is playing its part.
