We all know Fortnite is a phenomenon worldwide, and it’s been that way for quite a while now. However, Fortnite fans hoping to dive into the new Greek mythology-themed Chapter 5: Season 2 are left waiting after the update’s launch hit a snag.
The game servers failed to come back online after maintenance
Epic Games typically takes the servers offline for maintenance at 3 AM ET to prepare for major updates. However, this time, Fortnite failed to return online as scheduled. Players were initially told the maintenance would take “a few hours longer than usual.”
The most recent update from Fortnite Status arrived around 4 PM ET, informing players they could pre-download the update “in approximately five hours.” Unfortunately, there’s no official word on when everyone will be able to log in and play the new season.
Frustrated players might want to hold off on jumping into Helldivers 2, as that game has also been experiencing server issues according to DownDetector reports. Big games like Fortnite are tricky to manage since their player base is nothing short of ‘huge’, and with a player base that big, the number of dissatisfied players goes up as well. Let’s hope Epic games can restore the game back to normal running status so players can get to enjoy the new chapter of the game.
