Good morning! The servers have now been taken down for the downtime. You can already download the update on some platforms, and it is approximately 50-60 GB (via x.com)
What did I miss? Fortnite celebrated a live event with the end of Chapter 5 Season 4. In this, a small concert was held by Snoop Dog and Ice Spice.
Now all fans are anxiously waiting for the downtime to finally kick off Remix: Chapter 2, but it has not yet been activated. We will show you when the servers will be taken down.
When does the downtime start? Officially, the downtime begins at 7:00 AM German time on November 2, 2024 (via x.com). We will be there with a ticker at that time and provide you with the most important info.
When can I play Fortnite again? That depends on the duration of the downtime. This is a larger patch as a new season is being launched. So it could be that the server down lasts up to an hour. If complications arise, this could be extended.
When will the patch notes be released? We have summarized all the patch notes for you in our overview.
What’s included in Update 32.00? With version 32.00, Fortnite Season: Remix begins. In this, Chapter 2 returns along with its weapon meta, remix skins, and the old map from Chapter 2.
Fortnite: Patch 32.00 – What skins will be there?
What do we know about the skins? With a remix season, old classics from past seasons come in a new shine. They will be fused with additional skins to create something entirely new. The following remix skins are known:
- Muscle Cramps Midas
- 1-Ball (A variation of 8-Ball)
- Chaos Agentess
- TnTina Mountaineer
- Skye mixed with Guff/Ollie
Is Season: Remix the last in Chapter 5? It looks that way right now. Just like in Chapter 4, the chapter ends with Season: OG. Such seasons are usually shorter in duration and usher in the events of the next chapter. What awaits in Chapter 6, we unfortunately do not yet know.
As the server down has begun, we will keep you informed about the most important leaks in our live ticker. So stay tuned. More info about Season: Remix can be found here: Fortnite sends hints about its new OG season to streamers, announcing possible skins
