The first season of Fortnite Chapter 2 is going to end up as the longest in the game’s history, as Epic release the v11.20 patch notes.

It’s over a month now since Fortnite Chapter 2 began and its first season was due to end sometime next month, but it’s going to be a much longer wait than fans are used to until the second season begins.

Epic Games has announced that season 1 has been given an ‘extension’, meaning that chapter 2 won’t kick in until February and last year’s Christmas event, the 14 Days of Fortnite, will be longer than before.

What exactly the Christmas extras will involve is not yet clear, but Epic are promising ‘new game features, free rewards and a live experience that you won’t want to miss’.

The 14 day events over Christmas and during the summer are when Fortnite developers are given time off, so whether this means they’re getting an extra long break or not remains to be seen.

They’re certainly still working now as they’ve just release the v11.20 patch, which brings back daily challenges and the Bandage Bazooka.
