Epic Video games shocked Fortnite followers on Friday when it announced that the following replace, which was slated to introduce Season 9 of Fortnite Festival subsequent Tuesday, has been delayed. Thankfully, the delay is about as quick as it might get, because the patch has been pushed again simply someday to Wednesday, June 18. Epic gave no motive for the delay.
The transfer is a shocking one, because it’s uncommon for a patch to be delayed upfront by only a day. Usually, Epic would not overtly focus on patch timing–it simply deploys it when it is prepared with half a day’s discover. This patch will get a public acknowledgement of its delay as a result of it comes with the brand new Festival season launch, which has been scheduled for June 17 for months. The delay implies that the present Sabrina Carpenter cross will be extended by someday.
Normally when a patch will get bumped from Tuesday to Wednesday it is as a result of that week’s Monday was a holiday–Epic would not deploy massive updates when its staff aren’t within the workplace. Whereas June 16 will not be a US vacation, there’s one later within the week: Juneteenth, on Thursday. It could possibly be that Epic is observing the vacation early as an alternative of in the course of the center of the week.
Whereas Season 9 of Fortnite Festival was lengthy rumored to have Daft Punk as its headlining act, it is now trying as if the featured artist will truly be Deadmau5. When the brand new superhero season started in Battle Royale on June 7, the up to date map included Deadmau5 posters, much like the way in which Epic teased Hatsune Miku and Sabrina Carpenter forward of their season launches. Whereas it isn’t but confirmed that Deadmau5 is headlining, he is by far essentially the most believable candidate proper now.
