Gamers around the world are eagerly awaiting the return of Fortnite, as Epic Games’ servers remain offline for an extended maintenance period ahead of the much-anticipated launch of Chapter 5: Season 2.
The new season, dubbed “Myths & Mortals,” promises to bring a fresh wave of excitement with Olympian-themed skins, weapons, and locations, featuring big names like Zeus and Hades.
Originally scheduled for a routine update period, the maintenance has encountered unforeseen delays, extending the downtime significantly. The Fortnite community has been buzzing with speculation and anticipation, as the usual five-hour update window has stretched into one of the longest in the game’s history.
Epic Games has been tight-lipped about the specific reasons for the delay, leaving players to wonder what surprises the new update might hold. Despite the lack of official announcements regarding the additional time required, the Epic Games Status page has been updated to reflect an estimated time until the new maintenance concludes, now set to last a whopping 17 hours.
As of now, the current estimated time for Fortnite to be back online is at least 8:00 PM ET, or 5:00 PM PST. While the extended wait may be frustrating for some, it only serves to heighten the anticipation for what’s to come in the world of Fortnite.
Players are advised to keep an eye on the official Fortnite Status updates for the latest information. As the clock ticks down, the question on everyone’s mind remains: When will Fortnite be back up? If all goes well, the wait will soon be over, and players will be able to dive into the new season’s godly adventures.
