Fortnite Season 2 could end a couple of weeks late and extend until mid-May
Fortnite Season 2 has been going on for over a month now: it was February 20 when Epic Games released the update that kicked off the new Season. According to initial predictions, Season 2 was supposed to end on April 30, but it will most likely slip by a few weeks. The discovery has been made by the usual data miners who have analyzed the code of the game and have discovered two new updates (number 12.40 and 12.50) expected in the coming weeks. So it's very likely that Fortnite Season 3 will start only by mid-May.
This is certainly not a new development for the video game. Already Season 1 lasted much longer than expected for no logical reason, as there was little ad-hoc developed content. Season 2 has changed things up a bit, especially with the event dedicated to Deadpool and the challenges connected to it. Challenges that will most likely be extended by at least a couple of weeks.
Fortnite: the end of the second season
As previously announced by Epic Games, the end of Season 2 is scheduled for next April 30. Theoretically, there should be only three weeks until the closure, but before the conclusion of the second season will surely be released new updates. Well-founded suspicions and confirmed by the last update released in recent days, an update that has not gone unnoticed by the dataminer sifting through the game files have identified three new updates currently being tested. In particular, we are talking about versions 12.40, 12.41 and 12.50.
Many have speculated that patch 12.40 will be available starting next week, 12.41 the following week and then end with the last update, version 12.50, which should lead the way to the extension of Season 2, as happened during the Season 1. The Season 2 of Fortnite will be extended by one or two weeks. The causes of this delay have not yet been disclosed, but we can assume that even in this case, the continued spread of the epidemic of Covid-19 in much of the world may have played its part. The most ardent fans hope that Season 2 can end as soon as possible without further extension, but for now Epic Games has not come any official communication so we just have to wait. We will keep you informed.
