It looks like Fortnite is over, folks. It was fun while it lasted.

Sunday marked the end of Fortnite Season 10, and at the moment, the end of Fortnite entirely. Nobody is able to log on right now.

Players who were logged in for the end of the season were treated to an in-game spectacle as they watched the battle island get ripped apart as rifts opened up all over the place, bombarding the map in various locations until one giant explosion forced everyone into the air to look at the island from way up in the sky. And then the whole map imploded.

The whole thing was broadcast by a bunch of streamers, of course, but Fortnite also hosted a stream on its own YouTube channel from streamer DrLupo.

Here's what it looked like on streamer DanTDM's stream when players were launched into the air:

What a view.

After that, a whole bunch of light started moving toward the center of the blast as players soared higher and higher, seeing the entire island below.

After a few moments, the entire reality of Fortnite collapsed into a black hole. Players and onlookers were equally confused. Nobody knew what to do. The only option was to exit the game and anyone who wasn't already in the game couldn't get in.

This is all 'Fortnite' is right now.

For those who were in the game's lobby, here's what the event looked like:

At the time of reporting, it's been about 30 minutes since the black hole formed. We'll have to wait and see what the next stage of Fortnite will bring. The only hint we have right now is a leak from earlier this week that seems to suggest we'll be entering Chapter 2 of Fortnite's life.
