Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Update: What to Expect

Following an exciting three months of gameplay in Fortnite’s Myths & Mortals season, we are now eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new season, Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked. As of now, Fortnite is offline as Epic Games prepares to deploy the new season update. This brief downtime is a common occurrence before the launch of a new season, so it’s only a matter of time before we can jump back into the action.

Fortnite Servers Offline – Chapter 5 Season 3 Start Time

Once Fortnite’s servers are back up, we will be greeted with the start of this year’s summer season, featuring an exciting collaboration with Fallout right from the start. Expect a new desert wasteland biome, unique vehicular combat mechanics, and a fresh battle pass packed with new cosmetics, including the highly anticipated Brotherhood of Steel power armor that Epic has been teasing.

While the Fallout collaboration has generated significant hype, we must remain patient until Epic reactivates Fortnite. The exact return time is uncertain, as there is no specified end time for the maintenance window. Typically, a new Fortnite season kicks off between 7 AM and 10 AM ET on launch day, but there have been exceptions. In the past, technical issues led to extended downtime, with Fortnite remaining offline for almost a day.

Upon its return, Season 3 will bring sweeping changes to the battle royale island due to a massive sandstorm sweeping in from the south. Prepare for a new desert wasteland featuring exciting locations like the Nitro Drome combat arena, along with the highly anticipated Fallout collaboration that is sure to attract many players, especially following the success of this spring’s TV adaptation.

Stay tuned for a comprehensive roundup of all the new features in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 once the servers are back online.
