If you’re a fan of Fortnite, you might have noticed that the game’s servers are currently down. That’s because Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, is doing some important maintenance work before they launch Chapter 5: Season 2. This means players are unable to jump into the game and start playing like they usually do. But don’t worry, we’ll break down what’s happening and when you can expect to get back into the action.
The maintenance work was originally planned to last from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. UTC, which is from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. CT on Friday. However, things are taking a bit longer than expected, and the servers are still offline. Epic Games has announced that the maintenance will be extended by another eight hours, meaning players will have to wait a little longer to start playing again.
If you’re wondering when exactly the servers will be back up, Epic Games hasn’t given an exact time yet. They’re working hard to get everything sorted out as quickly as possible, and they promise to give another update as soon as they have more information. You can keep an eye on the status of the update by visiting the website status.epicgames.com.
Once the maintenance is complete and the servers are back online, you’ll be able to log in and start playing the new season right away. Chapter 5: Season 2, titled “Myths & Mortals,” promises to bring exciting new adventures and challenges for players to enjoy.
In the meantime, while you’re waiting for Fortnite to come back online, you might be interested in some fun facts about the game. Ever wondered which state would come out on top if there was a real-life Fortnite Victory Royale? Well, according to Casino.org, Minnesota would be the most likely winner, followed by Colorado and Kansas. Unfortunately, Tennessee didn’t score too well in their analysis and ranked in the bottom five states. But don’t let that discourage you – in Fortnite, anything is possible!
So, if you’re eagerly waiting to dive back into the world of Fortnite, hang tight a little longer. Epic Games is working hard to get everything ready for Chapter 5: Season 2, and it won’t be long before you can start your next adventure. Keep an eye out for updates from Fortnite Status on X (formerly known as Twitter), and get ready to experience all the excitement that awaits in the latest season of Fortnite.
