Fans received the first sign that the game might be back early Tuesday morning when the Fortnite Twitter account reappeared.

“Fortnite’s tweets are back up.. DOWNTIME HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED,” user @_egiaS tweeted.

During the finale of the game’s 10th season Sunday night, hundreds of thousands of fans watched in horror as a black hole sucked up the players and the game map, leaving them staring at a pulsating black orb for nearly 48 hours. At the same time, all the tweets from Fortnite‘s Twitter account mysteriously disappeared.

With the game rendered unplayable, users tried to find clues in the game’s code.

Once it was back up, fans were quick to jump back in the game and express their gratitude.

“Fortnite Chapter 2 is Amazing,” one user tweeted.

But others admitted they kinda missed the black hole that they’d learned to love over the past 48 hours.

“Is anyone else missing the black hole?” @Inevitable_JF said.
