Gamers had been wondering what was next after the 10th season ended with a mysterious black hole.

After more than 5.5 million gamers watched the Fortnite map get blown up, the game returned with a new chapter on Tuesday.

The viral video game sensation had been offline for two days following a black hole event that ended its 10th season on Sunday.

Hundreds of thousands of people, unsure of what would happen next, had watched as the mysterious black hole pulsed on their screens for another hour.
