Fortnite is over? Understand what Epic Games has done

This past weekend something unexpected happened in the Fortnite game. The tenth season of the battle royale game ended with a "black hole" sucking everything around it and sending the game's servers into space.

UPDATE: Fortnite Chapter 2 is out, see the trailer.

This last season, Fortnite focused its story on the arrival of a mysterious creature from space, called the Visitor. The mysterious unidentified being, built a rocket on top of Dusty Sepot, taking place yesterday the launch of it. When the engines were started, the ship took off, and suddenly, upon reaching the sky, it exploded. The special vehicle parts began to fall along with blue glowing capsules circling the map.

At one point, a capsule with a glowing red line fell from a crack in the island's sky, causing an explosion that knocked players off the island, who were left floating in the air. The bubble around the island glowed, and suddenly, a meteor surrounded by capsules appeared, which hit the island and opened a rift that became a black hole sucking everything that was on the island, until the island itself was sucked in. After that, players were faced with a dark screen, a black hole in the center and the option to exit the game.

When players left and tried to re-enter the game, the game asked for login details, but initially the game entry failed. After some time, it was possible to enter Fortnite. However, what we see is just what there was before, just the black screen with a black hole in the center.

After some time with this scenario described above, a sequence of numbers began to appear from time to time on top of the black hole (11, 146, 15 and 62). Even so, until now it was still a mystery why these figures were appearing.

On the social network Twitter, after some time, Playstation support came to report that the V-Bucks and items are safe.

Please be assured that your inventory items and V-Bucks are secure during the Fortnite Blackout. For any other Fortnite questions, please visit https://t.co/dQ6gUj445z.

While players were waiting anxiously, a mini game appeared to be played to pass the time.

• Minimum and recommended requirements to run Fortnite on PC in 2022
• Minimum requirements to play PUBG on PC

After some time, some rumors emerged suggesting that the numbers that appeared from the black hole are related to some message that the game wants to convey.

So @waynesgree98 just sent me this:

If you take the numbers and assign each one to a word in the trans script of the Visitor Tapes you get the following sentences:

• I was not alone
• Others we’re outside the loop

And thoughts what it could mean or if it’s true? #fortnite

Anyway, after some time there was the decoding of the possible message expressed by the numbers of the black hole.

"I was not alone
Others were out of the loop.
This was not calculated.
Nothingness is now inevitable."

I was not alone.

Others were outside the loop.

This was not calculated.

The nothing is now inevitable.#Fortnite pic.twitter.com/SJGoCSpR3P
