Fortnite is not working today, Friday 8 March the Epic Games Battle Royale is offline. What is going on? Don't worry, nothing serious, the servers are down for maintenance, an operation necessary to kick off Season 2 of Chapter 5.
Starting from 09:00 in the morning on Friday 8 March Fortnite is offline for maintenanceas always, matchmaking will be completely deactivated half an hour beforehand to allow players to finish ongoing games. However, during this period of time it will not be possible to start new games with other players.
At the moment we do not know how long the maintenance operations will last, generally in these cases the servers are reopened after two or three hours, ideally we can therefore expect that Fortnite comes back online between 11:00 and 12:00. This is obviously unless there are any problems that could cause the deadlines to be extended, extending the work until after lunch.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 seems to have Greek mythology as its theme, Zeus is the protagonist of the first teaser and according to some leaks the Fortnite skins of Xena and Hercules will soon arrive and a collaboration with God of War is not ruled out, con skin and events related to the first Ghost of Sparta trilogy. Will it be true? We'll find out soon.
