What's going to happen to Fortnite this time around?
Epic Games
Fortnite is once again coming to an end...
kind of. The popular battle royale game will
end the eighth season of its second chapter,
leading to the start of Fortnite Chapter 3.
Before that, developer Epic Games has a
big event in store for players.
The Fortnite Chapter 2 finale event, called
The End, starts Saturday with players
learning about the fate of the island, and of
reality itself. Once the event's over, it's likely
Epic could pull the plug on the game until
the start of Chapter 3 on Tuesday. There's
also an expectation that Dwayne "The Rock"
Johnson may also find his way in to the
game.

What's expected to happen
during The End event?
The Fortnite Chapter 2 storyline culminates
in a battle with the Cube Queen, a being
from another reality, who's responsible for
the Corruption Cubes found on the island.
She's the one who's been fracturing realities
through the season and looks to take over
the island.

If previous season events are any indicator,
players will partake in a showdown with the
Cube Queen. This'll likely lead to some
reality-ending climax, resulting in the
shutdown of the game until Tuesday.
Wait, The Rock is in Fortnite?
It's not official, but it's likely. Johnson
tweeted Wednesday a short video
promoting his Zoa energy drink. In the clip, a
helmet of the character known as The
Foundation can be seen in a refrigerator.
The tweet also references "Zero Point,"
which is a name used in the game referring
to the center point of reality.

Late night grind, POWERED BY @zoaenergy
ZOA delivers healthy energy when you get to
that ZERO POINT so you’re always taking the
HIGHER GROUND.
Because drinking ZOA, will always give you the
strongest FOUNDATION in the UNIVERSE!

Also on Wednesday, one Twitter user
uploaded an advertisement for Fortnite
Chapter 3 spotted on TikTok. In the ad, the
camera inverts in the same way it does in
Johnson's video.
Fortnite is free to play on PC, PS4, PS5,
Nintendo Switch, Android, Xbox One and
Xbox Series consoles. The game isn't
available on iOS devices, after a legal battle
between Apple and Epic.
