Fortnite Chapter 5, season 2 has left eager players waiting as downtime for the season start continues. Epic Games has acknowledged the ongoing updates with a statement indicating that more information will be provided once the v29.00 downtime concludes.
Comparisons have been drawn to the previous season launch, which was fully online and playable by 8 AM ET. The current Odyssey season, based on Greek Mythology, has generated excitement among fans. Despite dataminers revealing skins, map locations, and battle pass items, the game itself remains inaccessible.
Players can download the season update but are unable to play until servers are back online post-downtime. Extended downtime for new season launches is not unprecedented, and while the duration remains uncertain, Epic Games has not offered a specific timeline for the return of gameplay.
The lack of information from Epic Games has left many disappointed, especially as previous seasons were typically playable by this point. However, the community eagerly anticipates the resumption of gameplay, even if it means waiting a few more hours.
Fortnite has now announced that downtime will be 'a few hours longer than usual,' further prolonging the anticipation for players. Stay updated for more information on the downtime conclusion and the commencement of gameplay.
For the latest updates, follow official Fortnite channels on social media platforms. As the situation evolves, players are encouraged to stay informed and patient as they await the return of Fortnite Chapter 5, season 2.
