Chapter 2 Season 3 delayed?
OH NO - Epic can't delay the season again?
One of the most respectable Fortnite data miners, HYPEX recently discovered some in-game files regarding the timing of future patches. As of now, there are patches for V12.40 and V12.50; this does not seem like it would be an issue at first glance however it actually is.

Epic Games has not adopted bi-weekly updates for the current season of Fortnite. since we just received the latest Fortnite patch we are not going to get one this week.
HYPEX has noted since both patches are currently in the game files and there are only three weeks or so until the season is supposed to end, something doesn't add up.
How long do we have to wait?
DELAYED? We wouldn't doubt if the next season is delayed again.
Since Epic Games is rolling out bi-weekly updates, and with there being two updates currently queued. If the season is delayed, we can expect it to go on until at least the middle of May.
This would make the current season around three months in length, which is still astronomically long compared to past Fortnite seasons. With the little amount of content that Fortnite has implemented this season, fans cannot bear the fact of going another two weeks.
