Stay tuned for more updates.įortnite is still offline but you can download the patch so you'll be ready to hop into the game the moment Epic brings servers back online. Get ready for a new map, crossovers with Family Guy, LEGO, Metal Gear Solid, and weapon mods, as well as improved movement, a new Battle Pass and much more.

I will monitor the game’s status and update this post when it goes live. New Chapters, which come with brand new maps and a bunch of other big changes, typically have larger update sizes. This one might take longer due to the larger size of the patch.

Most new seasons launch early in the morning, often well before most people are up playing video games. At one point, Fortnite was down completely.Ĭhapter 5, Season 1 will launch as soon as the patch is complete, though it’s unclear when exactly that will be. The influx of players during Saturday’s big live-event (which ran three times over the course of the day) led to a number of technical issues, causing Epic to bring down various game modes including Save The World in order to stabilize performance. The three new games- LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival-will all kick off after the start of the new season next week. You should be able to install the update by the time you wake up in the morning. There’s not an exact time for the new season to go live, but expect it sometime early morning on Sunday, December 3rd. Typically these big seasonal updates take a few hours, and this one might take a bit longer given it’s a brand new Chapter as well, with a whole new map and more. Server downtime kicks off at 11:30 pm ET / 8:30 pm PT. Servers will be going down later so that Epic can push the update. You can watch the trailer for the new season (featuring Family Guy’s Peter Griffin and Metal Gear’s Snake) right here.Īll of this is anticipation of the new Chapter 5, Season 1 and a brand new map. The new season is being called Underground. Now, Epic has disabled all Fortnite experiences and game modes except player-created content for the rest of the day as the game’s developers prepare for Chapter 5, Season 1.
