Fortnite developer announced the start of server downtime on X (formerly Twitter), explaining when the game will be offline and matchmaking disabled.
“It’s time to hit the Rewind button!” reads an Epic Games tweet. “Downtime for v32.00 begins at 2 AM ET with matchmaking ending shortly beforehand.”
For UK fans, matchmaking will be disabled at around 5.30am GMT, followed by the game being taken offline in full at 6am GMT.
Epic hasn’t officially confirmed when the game will be back online, but the launch of a new season typically results in longer periods of server downtime.
This his means Fortnite is likely to remain offline until at least 10am GMT, and possibly 11am GMT.
In a follow-up tweet, Epic has confirmed that the Chapter 2 Remix download will be larger than usual.
“Heads up, the v32.00 game update will be a larger download in comparison to previous updates,” reads an Epic tweet.
In terms of what fans can expect, Remix will re-introduce the Chapter 2 map, only with a surprise twist or two.
The shortened season will introduce new map points of interest, gameplay elements and characters each week.
Beginning on November 2, the Agency compound is now The Doggpound, which is described as the new home base for Snoop’s enterprise. Players can also earn Snoop’s Drum Gun Mythic, unlock the LBC ‘93 Dogg Outfit by picking up the Music Pass, and purchase the Snoop Dogg Outfit in the Shop.
Eminem will be the focus of week 2, followed by Ice Spice in week 3 and Juice WRLD in the final week.
The Battle Pass contains around 70 different items, including the new Kicks cosmetic (shoes) from November 12.
