Fresh Updates Coming to Fortnite in the Latest Epic Games Update

Epic Games, the creator of the popular game Fortnite, has announced that they will be temporarily shutting down the game’s servers to introduce the latest update, version 28.10. This update will be available for download on PS5, PS4, Xbox consoles, Nintendo Switch, Android, and PC. Unfortunately, due to necessary server maintenance, Fortnite will be unavailable for at least two hours.

Epic Games has released official statements on Twitter regarding the server shutdown time. One of the Fortnite tweets states, “There’s nothing to see here…”. “The server shutdown time is 4:00 AM ET, and matchmaking will be disabled shortly before that.”

For Fortnite fans in the United Kingdom, this means that Fortnite will be completely offline at 9:00 AM GMT, with matchmaking disabled at 8:30 AM.

Epic has not disclosed the exact duration of the maintenance work, but typically, it lasts for around two hours. This means that Fortnite should be back online no later than 11:00 AM British time.

One of the main attractions of this new update is the introduction of Solid Snake, the protagonist from the Metal Gear Solid series, into Fortnite. A special Solid Snake skin will be available for players to unlock, along with a selection of items related to Metal Gear Solid. It is also possible that additional characters from the series will appear in the in-game item store.

The update will also bring several new items, modifiers, and gameplay features. Players can expect fresh elements and skins inspired by LEGO Fortnite sets, Rocket Racing maps, as well as maps related to the Fortnite Festival.

This update will breathe new life into the world of Fortnite and undoubtedly bring joy to many fans of the game. Let us hope that the maintenance work is completed as planned and we can return to playing shortly thereafter.
