The events of Fortnite’s story usually take place in the form of large spectacles in the game. These events allow players to interact with them and watch them as they unfold in-game. However, fans have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment with the direction Epic Games is taking for the plot of Fortnite.

Honestly a bit disappointed with Fortnite’s Storyline this season,” wrote T5G on Twitter. Top5Gaming is a respected name in the Fortnite community, regularly creating content for fans of the game. 

Similarly, another user spoke about the story not going anywhere, only creating suspense without a destination that does not do justice to the way it is built.

The story so far has taken multiple twists and turns, with so many different plotlines going on that it can get confusing for fans. With the looming arrival of Season 3, it looks as if Fortnite fans need a change for the ongoing storyline.

One fan got nostalgic about the simplicity of the plot in the early days of Chapter 1, saying, “Fortnite lore was peak in Chapter 1. I used to watch AliA run down the story daily.”

The player base’s reactions on Twitter were just more evidence of the way Fortnite’s storyline was getting more confusing as players got tangled in the web of plots being woven.

Beings fight for control over the zero point because it is connected to different realities. A group called the ‘Seven’ work to liberate the zero point from the control of different entities. These entities seek to harness the zero point’s energy for themselves. All of this has now culminated in a huge inter-syndicate war that will come sometime in the future. Fans expect this to occur in the following season.
