How long were these empty months, wandering in Apollo Island with nothing new to discover or to do... In other words, Chapter 2 Season 2 was expected at the turn of the century, and it wasn't stingy with novelty. One question remains at the bottom of the matter. Why? Why so little movement for so long? Why this lack of communication? Far from explaining all the circumstances, a tweet from Epic Games Creative Director seems to give us some answers. Better, the tweet seems to promise great things for the future of the game.
Donald Mustard explains what seems to have been a major problem for Fortnite: hitting very hard, from the very beginning of the game. The result is a kind of sufficiency for players, who, once deprived of the profusion of novelties, feel as if abandoned by the publisher. The result is a hidden pressure on the developer side, forced to keep the flow of updates going relentlessly. Season 1 sounded like a weaning: users are deprived of any novelty to return to a normal rhythm in Season 2. Rather than decrying the lack of changes, users would be more inclined to revel in the slightest fluctuation. What needs to be understood is that a hype, if constant, becomes the norm.
To avoid this, it's mandatory to have "trough" times, to better appreciate dynamic moments. Some people think that this tweet — more than announcing a return of regular updates — is actually teasing us something even bigger.
Is Fortnite once again preparing a spectacular event? If this season ends in two months as planned, we should soon have an answer!
