Fortnite Chapter 2 Ending Next Week

What a ride this Fortnite Chapter has been! However, all good things must come to an end eventually. Epic games has confirmed the finale for Fortnite Chapter 2 will commence next week with a special in-game event called ‘The End’. Quite the appropriate title, I suppose.

Whilst we received leaks last week suggesting this, it will come as a relief to fans for it to be confirmed. The event is set to take place on Saturday, December 4 at 9pm, and will see players come together in order to fight against the Cube Queen. With the fate of the island at stake, who knows how this battle is going to end. For those looking to be prepared, the special playlist will be available in Fortnite thirty minutes before the start time. The perfect amount of time to talk tactics, positions and maybe say your goodbyes. Morbid, I know.

Additionally, it has been reported that the event will support parties of up to 16 players queued together. You’re going to need all the numbers you can get to defeat The Cube Queen it looks like. Check out the teaser trailer for the event down below:

Fortnite Developers Excited For Fan Reactions

What a trailer, right? We can’t wait for this one and neither can the creators. This is what Epic Games had to say about their Chapter-ending event:

“Content creators and players looking to relive the final moments of Fortnite Chapter 2 should take steps to record and archive their experience as replays will not be available”.

Moreover, they went on to explain how certain things are going to change once the event starts. For example, you won’t be able to edit any settings which you may find undesirable once the event begins.

“Players will be unable to edit their settings once ‘The End’ begins, so please adjust any visual options to your preferred viewing experience before joining. Because the Season will end a day early, all players who log in before the end of the Season will receive a 225,000 XP reward.”

Exciting Period For Fans Despite The Ending Near

Beginning back in October 2019, Fortnite Chapter 2 has been an astounding success. We all remember when the battle royales original map was sucked into a black hole at the end of Fortnite Season X. Despite this, we shouldn’t be sad that the end is nigh, as Epic Games have plenty more plans over the next few years. For example, take a look at all the Naruto characters/items which are set to make an appearance in the game right here:

Naruto Uzumaki (with Seventh Hokage variant style)
Sasuke Uchiha (with the Snake Sword pickaxe)
Sakura Haruno (with Sakura Uchiha variant style)
Kakashi Hatake (with Black Ops Kakashi variant style)
Pakkun back bling
Demon Wind Shuriken back bling
Hidden Leaf Cloak back bling
Scroll back bling
Black Ops Sword pickaxe
Kunai pickaxe (with black variant style)
Snake Sword pickaxe
Hidan’s Scythe pickaxe
Kurama glider (includes Shinobi Teamwork loading screen)
Summoning Jutsu emote
Ramen Break emote
Pizza Eating Jutsu loading screen
Team 7 loading screen

Music Deal Also Hitting Our Screens

Not only this, but Epic Games also announced on Tuesday it has acquired Rock Band and Dance Central creator Harmonix “to create musical journeys and gameplay for Fortnite”. This is what the Vice President of game development, Alain Tascan, had to say upon the matter:

“Music is already bringing millions of people together in Fortnite, from our emotes to global concerts and events. Together with the Harmonix team we will transform how players experience music, going from passive listeners to active participants.”

Lastly, The Epic Games Store Black Friday sale launched on Tuesday, including savings on over 900 “games, editions and add-ons”. This really is an unbelievable time to be a Fortnite fan. Overall, we hope you’re just as excited as us for the event next week! Be sure to pick up some cool Fortnite merchandise right here!

Magic The Gathering: Fortnite and Street Fighter Cards To Be Added

Emma Regan — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 13:31:04 +0000

The collectable card game is planning to release Secret Lair sets and it includes two popular video game franchises

Magic Showcase 2021 took place yesterday and Wizards of the Coast announced a lot of new sets coming our way, on top of all the 2022 standard Magic the Gathering sets.

The collectable card game is adding four new franchises to its expanded Universe Beyond initiative which includes the two popular fantasy franchises Warhammer and Lord of the Rings, as well as two major video game franchises, Fortnite and Street Fighter.

Fortnite and Street Fighter Secret Lairs

A hefty portion of the Magic Showcase 2021 was dedicated to Universe Beyond, explaining how they hope the initiative will draw new players to the strategy card came in order to grow the community. The Universe Beyond cards will look a little different compared to the standard cards as the card frames will be different to the rest as well as having a unique, holofoil stamp to identify them with.

Yet the Secret Lair sets are also a little different themselves. Secret Lair is a sub-brand of Magic the Gathering cards that revolve around collectable sets with unusual themes and art styles. There are already some crossovers with other franchises already, such as Godzilla and The Walking Dead. These cards usually have limited print runs, therefore they can easily become very expensive collectable items.

Not many details have been revealed, apart from it has been teased Fortnite will be featured in two special Secret Lair drops consisting of reprints like we have never seen before, and Street Fighter will be celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2022 and it has been hinted Chun-Li will be amongst the number of classic Street Fighter characters in the artwork provided below. Chun-Li’s card will have the multi kicker keyword ability.
