Fortnite is currently experience an issue with Late Game Arena. Epic Games took to their Fortnite Twitter account to report the outage.
It looks like people are already quite frustrated with the outage, the comments section is filled with your usual “FIX IT NOW!!” comments. Sometimes taking a break from gaming a positive, even if it’s not at your own hand.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Late Game Arena, it’s a 60-player competitive arena starting in a small circle in the Battle Royale Arena. The gamemode is there to prep players for tournaments. As you play through Late Game Arena, you’ll generate “Hype” points through kills or through progressing through tiers. Hype points are used to qualify for new leagues and exclusive tournaments.
Currently you can only play this game mode in singles and trios – although there have been options in the past to play the game via duos.
Update: After lots of kicking and screaming from fans who couldn’t get their Late Game Arena Fix, the game mode is finally back up and running!
Get back into the game and rack up those well needed hype points.
In other Fortnite news, we may see a Lord of The Rings Fornite crossover in the future. This comes from a player who was taking a photo on one of the beaches in Fortnite. The person noted that “The Rock Kid” was building a sandcastles in one of the beaches, and that the sandcastle look strangely familiar to a scene in Lord of the Rings.
The only issue with this rumour, is that Lord of The Rings is actually under new management via the Embracer Group leaving the possibility of future collabs up in the air. Due to this new acquisition is it quite difficult to note what the business goals are of the group at this stage.
It looks like for the time being you’ll have to enjoy the Dragon Ball Z collab – something which is coming to an end very soon. For those of you unaware of what’s available in this collab, you’ll have access to Son Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and Beerus.
If you side more so along the lines of first-person shooters, than maybe you’d be more hyped up for the possible Destiny 2 skins coming to Fortnite. The news comes from a Destiny dataminer called Ginsor who posted an image of some well-known Fortnite skins in Destiny 2. The skins brought into question are Black Knight, Drift, and Omega.
