With Fortnite Season 3 Chapter 3 on the horizon, many have been wondering about the direction this video game will take. Recently, many Fortnite fans were surprised after hearing that the beloved Fortnite building would be removed when season 3 starts. While this piece of news left many people disappointed, there were others who thought that it was a bold move that more video game developers should consider taking.
If you are a Fortnite fan eagerly waiting for the third season, here is everything you need to know about the game’s third season and chapter.
The Start of the Third Season
While there hasn’t been any official release date confirmed by Epic Games, we do know that that second season of Battle Pass will end on the 3rd of June 2022. It would not be a far stretch to assume that Fortnite’s 3rd season could begin on the 4th of July 2022. That said, the game’s developer could require some downtime to make the transition smoothly.

Fortnite chapter 3 is here and it brings plenty of excitement and anticipation to the gaming industry. One of the most prominent and biggest changes that the game features is a completely new map. Playing this game will allow you to explore the bigger and better map, along with all of its POIs and secrets.
The Map and the Foundation
The map features a sanctuary and a giant statue. Close to the giant statue, you will have to fight with The Foundation. The Foundation refers to one of the most powerful characters in the game. When facing him, you run the risk of witnessing the power that was never seen before in the game. He is the toughest foe in the game and fighting him can involve a team of four that are all equipped with legendary level rifles.
This is because his HP is at a level 1000 and he can get you with incredibly overpowered attacks. If you do end up killing The Foundation, you get the chance to pick up an exclusive weapon which is one of the most powerful

Loot boxes have proven to be controversial over the past few years, as parents and government bodies alike have placed them under scrutiny for allegedly pushing gambling urges. This has caused Rocket League developer Psyonix to give up the loot box system in lieu of a new item shop, with the caveat that the skins are pretty expensive.
The change took place as the game’s season 12 update launched. Instead of purchasing the boxes, players instead have the pick of what they actually want to buy with credits earned in the game. Psyonix had converted existing player loot crates in inventories to blueprints, which can be converted into the items themselves.
While it sounds a bit convoluted, it’s really pretty simple. Players get their blueprints where they can see what’s inside. If they decide that the item is something they want, they can use the credits to go ahead and purchase that item.
The business model of allowing for individual item purchases follows that of Epic

After a few days lingering around a black hole, Epic Games’ hit battle royale shooter Fortnite has launched its Chapter 2 game, bringing with it a bunch of new features.
The game held an event last weekend where a rocket broke the dome overseeing the island where players duke it out, with the world being crashed down on and eventually sucked into a black hole. Players were stuck with that screen for the next few days, wondering just what would happen.
It turns out that Chapter 2 is what happened, giving players a new map as well as some intriguing features.
Among these features is an area on the map named Slurpy Swamp, which generates shields for players who’re standing in it. The game also lets players upgrade weapons, letting you build workbenches to upgrade the lethality of your gun. Hiding from foes is also enhanced, letting you stake out in dumpsters and haystacks.
If hiding isn’t your thing, you can fish

A 16 year old pro-gamer has shocked the world by winning the first-ever Fortnite World Cup, raking in a huge $3 million prize in the process.
The big winner is Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf of Pennsylvania, who took home the largest eSports prize in history. He ended up besting 99 other players in the final round and survived against 40 million other players who participated in the prelims.
The big winner is enrolled in high school and certainly appears set for life after the “epic” (pun intended) win. The eSports tournament took place at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York, and featured some of the best players in the world.
Bugha plays about six hours a day on school nights, starting usually around 3 and playing until 9. He works around his homework schedule but obviously can use a bit more time on weekends and during the summer.
Of course, we’re thrilled whenever we hear of someone winning a huge prize,

To help support Fortnite content creators of all sizes, Epic Games has launched a new program called Support-A-Creator.
From now until December 31, you can choose to input the name of any supported creator when you spend V-Bucks in-game.
Doing so will help the creator to get paid a small sum of money based on how much V-Bucks you spend. Creators will be rewarded money regardless of whether you paid for the V-Bucks or if you earned it through the Battle Pass.
Everybody from Ninja to small streamers on YouTube and Twitch are eligible to sign up to the Support-A-Creator program.
As of writing, there are already 4,000 creators on the program and Epic Games are being rather lenient with new sign ups. If you are a Fortnite content creator with a small audience and you are struggling to bring in revenue, you may want to visit the Fortnite creators page to sign up.
You can then ask your audience to input your name when they spend V-Bucks and you will be rewarded.

Fortnite season 6 has dropped and it's easily one of the most exciting seasons we've seen so far. Here is a quick overview on everything that has been added in season 6.
First, let's start with the new map locations.
In season 6, four new locations have been added - corrupted areas, corn fields, and haunted castle. The fourth place is a large floating island that moves around the map. There are also other changes spread throughout the map.
The season 6 battle pass is also filled with 100 new cosmetic items and plenty of other rewards. There are two new evolving skins - one called Calamity and another called Dire.
Both advance as you level up your battle pass. The Dire skin is perhaps the best we’ve seen so far - you start off as an ordinary man but slowly turn into a wolf as the skin evolves.
There are of course many other great skins in the new battle pass, including the Nightshade pumpkin head skin.
Pets have been added to Fortnite, as well.

Epic Games has just announced a brand new event called High Stakes. The new mode will drop on the first week of September.
So far, we don't know exactly what the new High Stakes event will be. We do know, however, that the event is themed after a high stakes bank robbery.
Epic Games did mention on Twitter that the new event will come with a number of new features for players to get their hands on.
First up is the new Limited Time Event called Getaway.
Nobody knows exactly what this mode will entail, but it fits in with the theme of the event.
New challenges exclusive to the High Stakes event will also be added to Fortnite, as well as a brand new Wild Card outfit. The outfit you see on the promo image above is the new outfit.

If you’ve been keeping up with the news recently, you may have heard about the new Fortnite Galaxy skin. It’s a unique skin for Fortnite that is supposed to be exclusive to those that purchase a Galaxy Note 9 or a Galaxy Tab S4 before 12/31/18.
Whilst it makes sense that this item will be exclusive, to begin with, there are rumors that suggest the Fortnite Galaxy skin may be available to everybody after the date listed above.
In a Forbes article, a chat with a Samsung customer representative suggested that the skin will be made available to everybody after the 31st of December.
Now, we can’t guarantee that what the chat representative was correct. They could have made a mistake. But if you think about it logically, it’d make sense for Epic Games to put the skin on sale to everybody eventually.
The new Galaxy skin has already gathered a lot of attention and there’s no denying that a lot of people would throw over their hard-earned V-Bucks to get

Fortnite is a brand new IP by Epic Games and it has finally arrived on Xbox One, PC, and PS4.
Fortnite has been in the eyes of the media for a good few years now, and it's been in development for even longer than that. Today, Fortnite has finally made it to early access and can be picked up on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
The development studio responsible for Fortnite is responsible for both Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. Fortnite takes things in a different direction. There are less blood and gore, and more room for creativity.
In Fortnite, players must team up to build structures that can defend themselves against an oncoming onslaught of enemies. As the game continues, the enemies become more aggressive and powerful. As a result, players must put in more effort to improve their defenses.
To get into early access, you'll have to pick up Fortnite for $40 on either Xbox One, PS4, or PC.
There are more expensive versions of the game if you feel like supporting
