Exciting Updates Coming to Fortnite 29.01: New Features and Enhancements Unveiled

Fortnite enthusiasts around the world are eagerly anticipating the release of the first update of the new season. Just under two weeks after the launch of Chapter 5, Season 2, Epic Games is gearing up to roll out a new patch aimed at addressing some initial issues. The Fortnite 29.01 update is set to debut on March 19 across various platforms including PS4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Android. Serving as the first major update of the season, version 29.01 will be accompanied by a server maintenance downtime.

The Fortnite servers will be completely offline starting at 9:00 AM Polish time on March 19. Matchmaking services will be disabled a few minutes prior, meaning players won’t be able to start any new games from 8:30 AM.

In a recent announcement made by Epic Games employees on their X platform (formerly known as Twitter), details were shared regarding the technical break for version 29.01: “The technical break for version 29.01 will commence at 4:00 AM ET, with matchmaking being disabled a few minutes earlier.”

What can fans expect? While Epic Games has yet to reveal much about the new content, industry insider Shiiny suggests that the 29.01 update will likely bring forth a new event related to Midas and a potential return of the fan-favorite mode, The Floor is Lava. Additionally, players can anticipate the reintroduction of the Drum Gun and the addition of the Chain of Hades ability to the game. Of course, alongside the update, new skins and possible collaborations are expected to make an appearance.
