Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 start time
While Epic Games initially stated that Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 would be ending a few days earlier, it seems players will still be able to jump in after this alleged date.
In a further communicated tweet, it was confirmed Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 will begin on Friday, March 10. The exact timing of when it will go live is something that has not been revealed yet, however, we do know when fans can expect the downtime ahead of the next season’s launch.
When does the Fortnite downtime begin?
In order to get the new season prepared, Fortnite will be entering downtime beforehand. This means the game will be inaccessible until Epic Games has completed its maintenance and implemented the new season.
It’s been confirmed this will begin on Friday, March 10 at 2 AM ET. Depending on where you are in the world, this will vary, but it will be a global downtime deployment.
Ahead of it happening, it’s best to be prepared to avoid missing out on any wins. Until then, players have a few more days to complete the Battle Pass and any other challenges before the release of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2.
