Earlier this week, the entire Fortnite went dark.

The end” if players thought the event, what would it entail would simply culminate in the introduction of Fortnite Season 11.

Attempting to enter Fortnite sent players a blank screen resembling a “black hole”. There was no way to go to any playlist, no way to access player accounts. The game seemed to vanish into thin air. This prompted a furious social media response from concerned users.

As players waited patiently for answers, Epic Games remained mired in a shy, deliberate pattern of silence until Tuesday.

There’s a brand new map to begin with. The old one has completely disappeared from the game, but the new one is definitely a sight to behold. Fortnite has evolved into something much bigger than it was, with additional hills and forests to be found throughout the area. There are many more urban areas, but this new vision of Fortnite is clearly built for its new vehicle: boats. That’s why there are several rivers flowing through the map to help divide things up, along with optional activities for players such as fishing and swimming.

There’s also a new battle pass, of course, that allows players to put some money on the privilege of unlocking additional character skins and other bonus Goodies. The progression has been tweaked so that players of all stripes can enjoy, and a wider selection of activities will be rewarded with experience.
