Unreal Engine's Chaos Physics Credit: Epic GamesWe finally have a launch date for Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2, after months of waiting. Chapter 2, Season 1 has been by far the longest season in Fortnite history, but it comes to and end on February 20, 2020 to make way for newer things. That’s not changing, and so we shouldn’t expect some massive, hardware-intensive physics system that radically changes how the game looks or works. I’d also expect a weapon or item at the beginning of Season 2 that shows off advanced physics effects in some way, shape or form: bouncing, ricochets, that sort of thing. So part of this move is likely to put some cool new stuff in Fortnite for its own sake, and part of this move is likely about showing developers what you can do with Chaos physics even on lower-end machines.
