Fortnite Update 21.00: Release Date, Season 3, Server Downtime & More
It’s almost time for Fortnite Update 21.00 to drop and with it will come a brand new season of content!
Very little has leaked about the update – so far – meaning we find ourselves in unfamiliar territory.
Here’s a breakdown of everything we know so far about Fortnite Update 21.00!
LATEST – Event Confirmed!
Confirmation has arrived for the end of season event that now provides clarity for Fortnite Update 21.00
Based on the details here we can expect Fortnite Update 21.00 to start at around 10 pm BST / 5 pm EST / 2 pm PST on Saturday, 4 June.
Fortnite Update 21.00 Release Date & Time
As with any new season, the exact start date and time can be a little tricky to place. We know that Season 2 will end with an event, but Season 3 could start at any time following this.
Our current estimates would predict that once the event is finished on Friday, 3 June, there will be a period of downtime – for Fortnite Update 21.00 to take place – that lasts through until the morning of Saturday, 4 June.
Once this downtime is complete, Season 3 should begin. Again, this is just speculation but more should become clear when we have an idea of when the event is due to take place.
What to expect
Season 3 should bring us a brand new Battle Pass as well as some map changes and story progression. We’re not expecting sweeping changes on the level of Season 1, but there could be a fair amount to take in when Fortnite Update 21.00 is all said and done.
Beyond the obvious, due to very little leaking through the usual sources, it’s hard to tell exactly what Season 3 looks set to bring. Darth Vader could headline the Battle Pass but that would break away from the recent Marvel theme (although still in the Disney family).
We’re keen to see which direction Epic head in with Fortnite Update 21.00 and hope that it helps bring a few more eyes back to the game that may have drifted away shortly after Chapter 3 was released.
