Fortnite is gearing up for another update, expected to bring a range of spooky content to the upcoming Fortnitemares event. The recent downtime that lasted two hours and 12 minutes has ended, and Fortnite servers are now live once again, allowing players to jump back in and take on some Demons.
Recent updates to Fortnite have been frequent and exciting, with new features like the drivable Dino Megazord and the Daft Punk Experience introduced in the Chapter 6 Season 4 Battle Pass. Looking ahead, leaks suggest that the Fortnitemares 2025 event will offer a wealth of new cosmetics, a twist on the traditional Horde Mode, and a new Reload map for a faster and scarier gameplay experience.
Players can anticipate the Fortnite downtime for update 37.40 to commence at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST on Thursday, October 2. Matchmaking will be disabled half an hour before the downtime begins to allow ongoing matches to conclude. Based on previous maintenance periods, it is expected that the downtime will last between one to two hours, with gameplay likely resuming around 3am PDT / 6am EDT / 11am BST.
For official details on upcoming Fortnite updates, players can refer to the Fortnite community Trello board where developers share information on fixes and upcoming features. While details on specific changes are limited, players can expect the island to become even more ominous in the next update.
