Fortnite fans across the UK are counting down the hours until the highly anticipated Chapter 5 Season 3, titled 'Wrecked', launches. The new season promises a post-apocalyptic makeover, vehicular mayhem, and exciting crossover content.
Official Downtime Schedule for UK Players
Mark your calendars: Fortnite servers will go offline for maintenance on Friday, 24th May at 09:00 AM BST. This marks the beginning of the update process, during which matchmaking will be disabled. Players should expect to be kicked from matches approximately 30 minutes prior to this time.
When Will Servers Be Back Online?
While Epic Games hasn't provided an exact duration, historical updates suggest downtime typically lasts 2-4 hours. This means UK players can likely expect to dive into the new season around 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM BST. However, players should monitor Epic's official social channels for any unexpected delays.
What to Expect in the 'Wrecked' Update
Early teasers and leaks point to a Mad Max-inspired theme. Key anticipated features include:
- New Narrative: The fate of Pandora's Box will be revealed, reshaping the island.
- Vehicle Combat: Enhanced mechanics with mounted weapons and vehicular warfare.
- Fallout Crossover: A strong possibility of content tying into the popular Amazon Prime Video series.
- New Battle Pass: A fresh set of skins, emotes, and cosmetic items to unlock.
Ensure your game is updated and ready to go once servers are back online for a seamless entry into the new season.
