After two years of seasonal tweaks and near-constant shifting of the game’s meta, Epic Games finally did it – they blew Fortnite<\/a> up.<\/p>\n

Rather like the recently announced ‘Overwatch 2<\/a>‘, Fortnite Chapter 2 isn’t quite a fully-fledged sequel to the world’s most popular game, but it certainly brings plenty of new things to see and do to the insanely popular battle royale, including stealth, swimming, and… uh… fishing?<\/p>\n

But is it better than the game that took the gaming world by storm since emerging as a cartoonish attempt to steal PUBG<\/a>’s thunder? We’d argue a definitive yes.<\/p>\n

Fortnite’s whole methodology has been built around reinvention, its competitive landscape shifting both subtly and not so subtly, seemingly ever fluid. Between the balance tweaks to a weapon’s damage or range, to refinement of material limits, to wholesale map changes and more, Fortnite is a different game from one week to the next – something that has players “dropping in” constantly.<\/p>\n

That’s unlikely to change with Fortnite Chapter 2, but we’d argue that the changes it brings offer more than anything the game has seen before.<\/p>\n

Fortnite has often surprised, but not always delighted, longtime players. The mech of Season X<\/a>, or the planes from before then, felt like Epic flexing their creative muscles (which should be applauded), but these spikes in an ever-evolving meta threw professional players for a loop, while also raising the skill ceiling for new players.<\/p>\n

These additions weren’t necessarily changes for the sake of change, but their entwinement with seasonal changes made them feel almost like an annoyance that the player base was waiting to pass.<\/p>\n
