Downtime information

As soon as the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 downtime starts, the video game will be unavailable for a certain period of time. This means that one can complete the current Battle Pass by the time the downtime rolls around. Once maintenance is afoot, the title will not be available to play for anyone.

It's impossible to say exactly how long the servers will be down. Considering that it's a new season and a major update, they will most likely be under maintenance for at least an hour or two.

However, it's important to note that some downtime periods have lasted for more than four hours, and Paradise's maintenance may turn out to be that as well. If gamers want to get into the game as soon as possible, they must make sure they update their Fortnite client when the downtime starts. This way, the title will be ready to be played when the servers are up again.

It appears Epic Games will bring The Paradigm, one of the most popular characters and a member of The Seven, back to Fortnite. Moreover, a couple of other skins will also come with the new Battle Pass, including Gwen Stacy.
