Fortnite players are convinced Epic will secretly drop new Chapter 3 map next month Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 is ending soon, but instead of being followed by Season 9, some players are convinced Epic Games is going to drop Chapter 3 instead, along with a new map. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 is expected to end on December 5, 2021, which means fans have already been looking forward to what lies ahead in Season 9. But some evidence suggests that Chapter 3 could be coming instead. Let\u2019s take a look at everything that has surfaced on the internet so far, including rumors of a new map and more. Of course, a lot of it is speculative. So, take it with a grain of salt. However, the signs are promising. Ako, a popular Fortnite lore theorist, was one of the first to ignite the theory. The first thing Ako pointed out was that the Cube Queen, who was added to the game in the Fortnitemares update, has \u201cended countless realities.\u201d She wields staff named the \u201cReality Render,\u201d and its description says: \u201cThis staff has ended countless realities. Soon, the island will join them.\u201d Her Cubic Vortex back bling also says: \u201cTime is running out for you.\u201d Another thing Ako cites as evidence is the new Page-Turner emote, which includes a peculiar description saying, \u201cJust a second, I\u2019m almost at the end of the chapter.\u201d There are several other hints included in the tweet, too. Ako isn\u2019t the only one who has contributed to the theory. HYPEX, who is one of the most reliable leakers in the scene, said they thought it was strange that Donald Mustard, the Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games, has never \u201cname-dropped\u201d Season 9. He shared a screenshot of Mustard referring to the next two seasons without specifically calling them Season 9 and Season 10. The last sentence also alludes to something big happening soon too. \u201cThere\u2019s no way this wording is random,\u201d said HYPEX, adding more fuel to the fire. Donald never name dropped Season 9 & 10, he just says Season 7 and “”the two after it””. And then there’s that last sentence.. There’s no way this wording is random lol pic.twitter.com\/4V14rk2S24 \u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) October 31, 2021 HYPEX also spotted that the black hole that engulfed the island at the conclusion of Chapter 1 has re-emerged in the files. He thinks it could be further evidence that Chapter 3 could be around the corner, and he\u2019s not alone. \u201cThe Blackhole has been updated again yesterday,\u201d he said. \u201cThey added back the hotfix that makes the game load you directly into the Blackhole. \u201cSo many people are speculating that next Season is Chapter 3 due to these hints. Do y\u2019all think it\u2019s really gonna happen?\u201d The Blackhole has been updated again yesterday, they added back the hotfix that makes the game load you directly into the Blackhole. And so many people are speculating that next Season is Chapter 3 due to these hints, do y’all thing it’s really gonna happen? \ud83d\udc40 pic.twitter.com\/YbobiRvr8d \u2014 HYPEX (@HYPEX) October 27, 2021 Another leaker, iFireMonkey, also alluded to the fact that it\u2019s the perfect time for Fortnite to get a new chapter. Chapter 1 lasted 718 days, spanning ten seasons. Chapter 2 has only had eight seasons. However, they ran for much longer. It works out to be around 778 days at the end of Season 8, which could mean Chapter 3 is coming. Chapter 2 Season 8 is currently set to last a total of 83 days. \u2014 iFireMonkey (@iFireMonkey) October 28, 2021 That just about sums up all the evidence that has been discovered so far. Nothing has been confirmed yet. However, the evidence is compelling, and a good chunk of the player-base is convinced Chapter 3 is coming. We\u2019ll have to wait and see whether it all comes to fruition. But in the meantime, there\u2019s still at least another month or so of Season 8 to enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
