FORTNITE fans are counting down to the release of the new update, which will launch after a period of extended server downtime.
Fortnite developer Epic Games has confirmed plans to release update 22.10 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Android. The first major update of Season 4 has an October 4 release date. The update was originally scheduled to launch alongside server downtime at 9am BST UK time on Tuesday morning. Unfortunately, however, due to an unforeseen issue with update 22.10, Fortnite has been taken offline early.
"Unlock the key to victory in Update 22.10, set to release tomorrow October 4!" reads the original announcement for update 22.10. "Downtime starts at 04:00 ET (08:00 UTC), with matchmaking being disabled 30 minutes prior."
In a follow-up post, Epic confirmed that while update 22.10 will still launch on October 4, downtime has started now.
"Due to an issue, we are entering downtime early. Update 22.10 will still release tomorrow October 4th," Epic explains. "We’ll let you all know when downtime has ended!"
Fortnite downtime is expected to come to an end between 10-11am BST, meaning the game will be offline for approximately 12 hours.
Based on Epic's original teaser, update 22.10 will add a brand new selection of item chests, which can only be unlocked by finding keys.
There's also a good chance that the Chrome will spread, leading to some brand new points of interest and general map changes.
Expect even more leaks to drop once the update goes live, especially with the Fortnitemares event due to start in the coming weeks.
