It was on Sunday night that everyone who played Fortnite got to see an asteroid rain hit the map, then devour the whole world and replace it with a black hole.

Anyone who has tried to play the game for the past two days has only seen the black hole - and on the game's social media channels, a picture was also streamed on a black hole.

Millions of players worldwide can only stare at a black hole

As many guessed, it was about such a big update to the game that it required to close out many players - and the black hole may be seen as a marketing ploy. Today, "Chapter 2" was presented in the game world, and the game has been reopened to players with multiple updates.

The clip featuring the updated game has already been viewed over two million times in just a few hours.
