Epic Games literally deletes Fortnite ahead of leaked Chapter 2 Epic Games, the publisher and developer of massively popular battle royale game Fortnite, appears to have wiped the title from existence from their website in the wake of the Season 10 \u2018The End\u2019 event. Taking the event\u2019s name slightly more literally than everyone expected, Epic have deleted Fortnite from pretty much everywhere on October 13. The game is no longer mentioned on the official website, which now takes visitors to a live stream of the black hole instead. The publisher also removed all channels on their official Discord server.

Furthermore, all of the tweets on their official twitter page have also been deleted except for one \u2013 the livestream for The End event. Of course, this isn\u2019t the end of Fortnite \u2013 rather, quite the opposite. As was leaked on the iOS app store a day early, Fortnite \u2018Chapter 2\u2019 is expected to launch, although at the time of writing, details are still unknown. What we can expect is a new map, and possibly a major overhaul to the game\u2019s core mechanics and gameplay systems. For now though, everything has gone dark \u2013 literally. The game itself was sent to a black hole after the Season 10 event ended, and players were left scratching their heads as to what was next. Our first glimpse of Chapter 2 comes from the leaked image on the Italian iOS store, which appears to show a sliver of the new map. Even livestreaming platform Twitch itself \u2013 which suffered a major (unintentional) blackout of its own due to the overwhelming surge in viewers for the event \u2013 joked about the situation. Fans were quick to meme about the disappearance of their beloved game, joking that they had now spent all that money on a game that deleted itself.

I mean to be honest after all the non stop complaining and trash talking every day on fortnite\u2026 what did we expect to happen? :disappointed::thinking_face: \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) October 13, 2019 Other users found that they couldn\u2019t even login to their Epic Games account \u2013 although it\u2019s unclear if this was part of the event, or a bug due to the overflow of players.
