Today, on Wednesday, October 21, the Fortnite servers will go down on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android). During this time, the new Update 14.40 will be applied. What’s included in the new patch?
What’s happening today in Fortnite? The Update 14.40 will be applied today on all platforms. Fortnite Status announced the patch on Twitter. This could be the Halloween update and bring some spooky content.
Update 10:45 AM: The Update 14.40 is now here. We will show you in the German patch notes what has changed in the game.
Before players can explore the map and try out all the changes, as usual, the servers will be taken down.
Fortnite servers will be taken down – when and for how long?
Downtime starts in the morning: The downtime for Update 14.40 will start again today at 10:00 AM German time. At 9:30 AM, you can join a new round one last time, after which the servers will be taken down and Fortnite will be down for a short time.
How long will the maintenance work take? Based on experiences from the past weeks and months, the work should be completed around lunchtime.
If technical issues or other delays occur, they may lead to an extension of the maintenance work. Should this happen, you will hear about it here on MeinMMO.
When will the patch notes be released? Based on experiences from the last updates in Fortnite, there will likely be no or only roughly explained patch notes for the Battle Royale mode.
However, we will collect the most important changes and publish them in the form of German patch notes for you.
What new content does Update 14.40 bring?
What’s new in the Battle Royale mode? Fortnite Status has hidden a small hint that could be a clue to a Halloween update.
That would make sense, as Halloween is just around the corner, and thus the Fortnitemares, which have taken place every year so far. Some hints and leaks about the Fortnitemares 2020 have already been found.
So we can be excited to see if the spooky atmosphere awaits us already today after the update.
What does the update bring for the mode “Save the World”? The PvE mode of Fortnite is already in Halloween mood. Here you can let loose in the Fortnite Nightmares.
The Fortnite Nightmares will accompany players until November 20. Since Save the World is no longer in Early Access, Epic has announced that there will not be as many updates for the PvE mode as before.
