What’s happening in Fortnite today? A patch awaits you this time. For this purpose, the servers for maintenance work and the new patch 21.51 will be taken offline.
The patch brings new skins, wild weapons and possible changes on the map. So that you don’t miss anything, we at MeinMMO update this article for you regularly throughout the day.
Fortnite: Server Down – When and how long is it offline?
This is the downtime in the morning: The servers are expected to be shut down at 10:00 a.m. German time in order to install update 21.51. Matchmaking is already disabled 30 minutes beforehand, so you won’t be able to search for new rounds after 9:30 a.m.
When can you play again? During such maintenance work, the servers are usually offline for several hours and playing is then no longer possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. The updates of the past few weeks have shown that.
Such maintenance work can always lead to technical problems, bugs and delays. If such complications should arise, we will report them here immediately.
When are the patch notes coming? Epic Games has been releasing little to no patch notes for a long time. However, members of the community often search and find the changes quickly. However, if there are important changes, we will add them to the article for you.
What new content does update 21.51 bring?
What’s new for Battle Royale mode? We don’t know anything concrete yet, but leakers have often presented themselves as a reliable source with their predictions. We know this:
Possible live event could come
Leakers are not sure if Epic Games is planning a small live event because patch 21.50 has fixed all the major construction sites in Fortnite. So it is highly likely that update 21.51 is not a maintenance patch, but a content update.
So either new content is temporarily stored in the data or a live event is set up shortly before the end of Season 3. We will keep you informed if new information is published in this regard.
It’s almost time and Season 4 is about to start, are you ready for the release with new cool weapons, skins and map changes? Let us know what you think Epic Games is up to in the new season in the comments.
