Apart from a brand new Takeover LTM, a cryptic message in the Patch Notes also hints at a new Marvel superhero making his way to the game: The Daywalker aka Blade.


Fortnite V14.20 update: The Daywalker arrives?

Downtime for the Fortnite V14.20 update is scheduled for the 23rd of September and will begin at 4 AM ET(8:00 UTC/ 1:30 PM IST).

As it is with most Fortnite updates, expect the servers to be down for a couple of hours once downtime begins.

The patch notes were recently revealed by data miners and include a new Wolverine Boss in Weeping Woods, exclusive Fortnite Birthday challenges and special performances from BTS and Slushii.

However, what really stood out was a cryptic message hidden in the patch notes, which reveal that a popular Marvel superhero could be making his way to the game:

The red letters in the Fortnite V14.20 patch notes spell out the word Daywalker. In the Marvel Comics, Daywalker is a reference to the Ultimate Vampire Hunter, aka Blade.

The badass Marvel character was portrayed by actor Wesley Snipes in the successful Blade Trilogy, which has acquired a cult status of its own.

Further evidence which points towards the arrival of Blade include a cryptic tweet by Donald Mustard, who is known for revealing clues:

While some believe that there will be an exclusive Fortnite Blade skin, others are of the opinion that The Daywalkers could be included in the long rumoured Fortnitemares event.
