As players counted down the days, Epic Games hit pause! Fortnite fans will have to wait a bit longer to experience the next season of the Battle Royale... The reason? The publisher announced on X that the launch of Chapter 7, Season 2 has been pushed back by a couple of weeks. This delay affects all platforms and extends the current Season 1... To justify the change in schedule, developers cited the need for extra time to finish their work. The announcement was accompanied by a graphic referencing the popular meme "Let him cook", cleverly modified to "Let him build", a direct call for players to give the creative team the space to complete their process.
This deliberately light teasing mainly fuels speculation... Over the past few seasons, Fortnite has become a melting pot of cultural crossovers, regularly featuring collaborations from cinema, TV series, music, and even manga. The Chapter 7 continues this trend, and the recent delay only heightens anticipation for upcoming events and partnerships. Meanwhile, as fans await the new Fortnite season, Epic Games is extending and energizing the current season 1 of Chapter 7, with a roadmap set for February that promises temporary events, extra quests, and a major update to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
The big question now is what these extra two weeks will actually bring. While the delay might frustrate some members of the gaming community, it also gives Epic Games the chance to fine-tune their next major update without rushing. The highly anticipated Season 2 of Chapter 7, scheduled for March 19, needs to demonstrate that this additional time has laid a solid foundation—one that will keep players engaged and sustain the game's momentum over the long term... Or is a seasonal finale event on the horizon? The coming days should shed more light on the developers’ true plans. In the meantime, get ready and keep those controllers at the ready!
