According to several leakers, it is possible that Chapter 2 of Fortnite will start on Tuesday, 15 October, and that this unbearable wait was due to the time difference with China.

Fortnite: China time zone difference reason for Season 11 wait?

Since yesterday and "The End" of Fortnite, only one question has been on players' lips: when will they be able to play the game again?

After long hours of waiting in front of a black hole, and numbers appearing here and there, it seems that we finally have a coherent answer — but it is not official yet.

Several leakers have said that this delay might be due to the time difference with China — which was only able to attend the event this morning.

According to FNBR Leaks, the Fortnite China website reportedly announced that Chapter 2 would begin on October 15, several hours after the event — the time required to see the combination of numbers.

Ok so supposedly Fortnite China confirms that Chapter 2 begins on October 15th (Their time) it’s currently 9:06PM for China. That means October 15th is in 2 hours and 54 minutes.

So this may affect all other players and Chapter 2 could start in the next 3 hours (noon est) pic.twitter.com/qPkxsrwk2N
