The announcement was caught on camera from the audience and tweeted by user iFireMonkey. All that was shown was a title card following the presentation of the Fortnite Champion Series trophies. The card showed the name of the event, the date and time, and confirmed it would be the finale for Chapter 3 of the battle royale. That means the current chapter will be the shortest yet. Chapters 2 and 3 have each lasted at least two years, so the move comes as a bit of a surprise. Every Fortnite chapter to date has ended with significant changes to the game’s island. The end of Chapter 1 in October 2019 involved a black hole sucking up the map, while last December’s finale of Chapter 2 flipped the island upside down to reveal Chapter 3’s map. Each Chapter has added new features too, such as Chapter 2’s vehicles, and Chapter 3’s No Build. Fortnite is a free to play download from the Epic Games Store. I’ll bring you more on the imminent Chapter 4 as soon as I hear more.
