Fortnite’s greatest day of the yr began off with a large reside occasion that wrapped up Chapter 6, and if all goes nicely, Chapter 7 will start very quickly. Within the meantime, although, Fortnite’s servers are offline for upkeep and to deploy the Chapter 7 replace. There is not any bug here–Fortnite is offline on objective. But it surely should not be down for lengthy.

When will Fortnite Chapter 7 begin?

Up to now, the beginning of a brand new chapter got here with longer durations of downtime–like a day or more–but as of late Epic tends to deal with new season and new chapter updates the identical as it might a daily mid-month patch.

Prime time, in different phrases.

We assure nothing, nevertheless, as these launches do not at all times go easily. Only a month in the past, when the Simpsons season started, all appeared nicely when Fortnite returned from maintenance–but after an hour, the servers crashed and the sport went again offline for some time. And there was one other replace earlier this yr that ended up taking Fortnite offline for a whole extra day. However such incidents are uncommon, and most updates go off with out main hitches.
