Much to the shock and horror of every middle schooler in the nation, over the long holiday weekend, popular video game Fortnite went dark -- black hole dark.

After a much-hyped live event leading up to the launch of the new season, players were left looking at an image of a black hole for over a day and a half.

According to The Verge, "Chapter 2 notably introduces new gameplay features, including fishing, swimming, and new vehicles to utilize like boats and... pogo sticks. There are also new multiplayer emotes that let you coordinate dances with friends. New weapons include a common variant of the rocket launcher, and a brand-new semi-automatic pistol, and you’re also able to better hide now, ducking in haystacks or dumpsters."
