Fortnite fans, get ready for the MEGA update! According to the official Fortnite Status Twitter account, downtime for Chapter 4 Season 2 is scheduled to begin on March 10, 2023, at 2 AM ET. Matchmaking is expected to be disabled shortly before the downtime starts.
Update: The server downtime is estimated to last for ~5 hours.
The new season promises a futuristic, Neo-Tokyo theme, with new points of interest, weapons, and items like Katanas/Swords, futuristic motorcycles, and glowing tubes for mobility. Players can also look forward to the return of the Pump Shotgun and the introduction of legendary augments that can reboot you when you die, increase your max shield, or give you siphon.
As with any major update or new season release, it’s possible that the maintenance may take longer than expected, so players should be prepared for potential delays or extended downtime. It’s always a good idea for players to follow the official Fortnite social media accounts and website for any updates or changes to the maintenance schedule.
The future’s looking bright for Fortnite players, and with the new season just around the corner, it’s time to gear up and get ready for MEGA.
