A Fresh Perspective on Fortnite’s Latest Update and New Additions
Fortnite underwent several significant changes at the end of last year, with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 1. Now, just over a month later, we are finally receiving the first major update of the new season after a short break. Epic Games chose the right time for a vacation during the Christmas holidays, considering the massive success Chapter 5 Season 1 achieved.
In the latest update, Fortnite introduces three new modes: Lego Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing. Now that the holiday season is over, we already know that the first major update of the new season is planned for today. However, as always, such updates come with server downtime, and Epic Games has confirmed on Twitter that it will happen today.
The server downtime is scheduled to start at 9:00 GMT / 4:00 EST / 1:00 PST. As usual, the matchmaking system will be disabled 30 minutes earlier to allow players to finish their ongoing matches. We anticipate that the servers will be offline until 13:00 GMT / 8:00 EST / 5:00 PST.
Although Epic Games doesn’t explicitly state it, experience shows that servers usually come back online earlier than the announced end of downtime on Twitter. So, it’s worth trying your luck a few hours after the start of the maintenance.
We already have some preliminary information about the v28.10 update thanks to the Fortnite Trello Board. Well-known Fortnite leaker – ShiinaBR, has published more details about today’s update on Twitter. According to them, we can expect:
– New cosmetics in the Battle Pass,
– Super Styles for characters,
– A Battle Pass set related to Solid Snake,
– The return of some items to the shop,
– Possible new collaborations, and
– Possible modifiers returning.
Although we don’t have the full list yet, ShiinaBR has a track record of accuracy in their predictions. Based on previous hidden Battle Pass skins, we can speculate that Solid Snake will be available along with several cosmetics and missions that will allow players to unlock the master of camouflage.
