Today, Wednesday, January 20, the Fortnite servers will go down on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Android). During this time, the new update 15.21 will be deployed. What’s in the new patch?
Update 1:10 PM: The update 15.21 is now live. We have summarized the most important changes for you and published them as English patch notes on MeinMMO.
What’s happening today in Fortnite? The developers at Epic Games are releasing update 15.21 for Fortnite today. The server downtime was announced by the developers already on Twitter.
Although it’s just a simple patch, they have already mentioned a few larger changes. Before players can embark on their discovery tour, the servers will be taken down first.
Fortnite servers offline – when and for how long?
Downtime starts in the morning: The downtime for update 15.21 will start today as usual in the morning, at 10:00 AM German time. So at 9:30 AM, you can join a new round for the last time; after that, the servers will be taken down, and Fortnite will be offline for an indefinite time.
How long will the maintenance take? Based on the experiences of the last weeks and months, the work should be completed around noon.
If there are technical issues or other unforeseen hurdles, the maintenance could take longer. We will keep you updated here on MeinMMO.
When will the patch notes arrive? Fortnite Status has already announced the changes in advance. So it seems unlikely that detailed patch notes will be published on this.
If further innovations occur, we will collect them for you and publish them on MeinMMO in the form of English patch notes.
What content does update 15.21 bring?
What’s new for the Battle Royale mode?
- New boss character and a new mythical item
- New jungle challenges for the secret skin of Season 5
- IO Guardians removed from arena mode
With patch 15.21, the Predator seems to be in the spotlight. It seems that he will soon be found in the jungle if he becomes the boss character that is appearing today.
It will be interesting to see what update 15.21 will bring. Once the servers are back online, a visit to Stealthy Stronghold should be worthwhile, as it seems there will be significant changes today.
After the patch, we may also receive more information about the next hunter skin. It is suspected that it might be Lara Croft from the game Tomb Raider.
