Fortnite Servers Going Down – When and for How Long?
Downtime Starting in the Morning: Downtime will start at 8:00 AM. You can join a new lobby for the last time at 7:30 AM. After that, the servers will be unreachable and Fortnite will be down.
How long will the maintenance take? Based on experiences from the past weeks and months, the work should be completed around noon.
However, technical issues or other delays may extend the maintenance. If this is the case, you will find out here.
When will the patch notes be released? Probably no patch notes will be released for the Battle Royale mode by Epic Games.
If this is the case again, we will compile the major changes and publish them here for you on MeinMMO in the form of English patch notes.
What new content does update 12.41 bring?
What’s new in the Battle Royale mode? Currently, a live concert by Travis Scott is being prepared in Fortnite. According to Epic Games, new Astronomical Challenges will be coming today, April 21, with update 12.41, where players can unlock rewards such as:
- A banner
- A spray motif
- An emote
More information about the “Travis Scott” concert, the challenges, and the rewards can be found on the official Epic Games page.
Additionally, all players with a Fortnite account will receive a gift once the update 12.41 has been deployed.
What does the update bring for the Save the World mode? What new features the update will bring is unfortunately still unclear. However, a quest line might return and replace the Blockbuster quest line.
After the update, pay attention to “The Agency” on the Fortnite map, as you can influence the story of Season 2 by choosing Team Ghost or Shadow. Your choice could bring changes to the map. Additionally, something might have changed on the crash island north of Sweaty Sands for the concert.
