It’s one of the most popular video games at the moment, and now Fortnite has revealed the launch date for Chapter 2 Season 2.
The new chapter will go live on February 20, along with the 11.50 update.
Epic Games, the developer behind the game, revealed the news in a new blog, along with a big change, in the form of a new physics engine.
It explained: “Beginning with the release of the 11.50 update in early February, Fortnite will be moving to Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics system.
“At launch, the goal is to ensure that Fortnite still feels like Fortnite. Along the way there will be some bumps, so we’re starting tests with a small group of players.
“We’ll also closely monitor feedback and make improvements over time.”
While further details on the new physics engine remain unclear, Fortnite star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins claims that it could ‘reset Fortnite completely.’
During a recent stream, Ninja said: “Dude, it’s gonna change everything. I have so much speculation, I wonder, man.
“Has a game ever changed the engine it’s on? I’m not talking about a sequel, I’m talking about an actual game.”
Ninja added that he thinks Epic Games could introduce some ‘drastic changes.’
He concluded: “What if they remove building? I’m being serious, I think we might see some drastic changes.”
Unfortunately, it seems that Epic Games isn’t giving anything away about either the new physics engine or Chapter 2.
We’ll have to wait and see if Ninja’s ‘drastic’ predictions are correct on February 20…
