Fortnite fans on Sunday found themselves in a frenzy of panic after Epic Games snuffed the game out of existence.
In what appears to be a marketing ploy, Fornite‘s 10th season came to an end in a cataclysmic explosion that was witnessed by players worldwide.

According to multiple reports, the entire game disappeared into a black hole that can now be seen across social media, Epic Games’ website and Fortnite itself.
