"Fortnite" Chapter 2 Drops Overnight On An Angry But Relieved Audience

After one of the best PR stunts in video game history took place with 36 hours of anger and hilarity over a black hole, Fortnite has finally returned. While a great number of players were sleeping, the company finally kicked off an animation that relaunched the game. The black hole chimed, some music kicked in, and the intro video to Chapter 2 played. You got a whole new map with new sights to see, new skins to buy, and new ways to level up.
