Fortnite players may have noticed two new counters that have appeared in the game's central Lobby. There is a count indicating that its end will be on May 30, 15:05 Brasília time, and would refer to the day of Judgment. Well, not a true doomsday, but in reference to the Doomsday event (Doomsday in Spanish). However, not much else is known about this event other than its release date and time.
Everything seems to be centered around the Agency, where a timer is also expected to appear soon as the deadline approaches. This area indicates to be the center of the event in question, even without knowing how. The Midas character also appears to be involved in the Doomsday event. It is possible to notice that a device was turned on in his office, and it is believed to be related to the destruction of parts of the map to mark the beginning of the new Season.
The story in Fortnite should move forward with the launch of this new event and the officialization of the new season. There are indications that there is a presence of an aquatic theme and this device may be related to this.
The curious thing about all this is that these new elements like timers and the Midas device came without any pronouncement or announcement from Epic Games. The company put the event in motion under a strategy of surprise and mystery, which also implies a marketing ploy, generating movement of players on social networks to discuss and speculate about this Doomsday event.
This event is supposed to be a special one to mark the end of Season 2 and the start of Season 3 in Fortnite, which is set to officially start on June 2nd. Epic Games should then bring an engaging and exciting event to that end, initiated by a lot of mystery.
The official season two finale should have already happened in reality. Initially the official calendar scheduled it for April 30, but the company decided to extend the season until June. Particularly this news did not please the players very much, so it is to be expected that Epic Games will compensate with an epic finale and an epic event. On this May 30th, players can already expect full servers and lots of new content.
