We are all familiar with the global phenomenon that is Fortnite, a game that has captured the attention of players worldwide for a considerable period of time. However, fans eager to immerse themselves in the new Chapter 5: Season 2 inspired by Greek mythology are currently facing a delay following the launch of the update.
Epic Games typically shuts down the game servers for maintenance at 3 AM ET in preparation for significant updates. Unfortunately, this time, Fortnite did not come back online as expected after the maintenance period. Initially, players were informed that the maintenance would exceed the usual duration by "a few hours."
The latest update from Fortnite Status, around 4 PM ET, advised players that they could pre-download the update "in approximately five hours." Nevertheless, there is no official announcement regarding when all players will be able to access and enjoy the new season.
Frustrated players may want to refrain from diving into Helldivers 2, as reports from DownDetector indicate that this game is also encountering server-related issues. Managing large-scale games like Fortnite poses challenges due to their massive player base, which inevitably leads to an increased number of dissatisfied players. Hopefully, Epic Games will swiftly resolve the issues to restore the game to its usual operational status, allowing players to delve into the latest chapter of the game.
