Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 is about to make its debut on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 and Android.
Just minutes after the end of the Death Star Sabotage event, Fortnite is getting a big new update.
Unfortunately, however, Fortnite fans won’t be able to check out the new Season 3 content until after a period of server downtime comes to an end.
Indeed, Fortnite developer Epic Games has taken the game offline for maintenance in preparation for the start of the new season, which is titled SUPER.
The new was announced by Epic Games on X, alongside confirmation that update 36.00 will launch today (June 7).
“Following the Death Star Sabotage Live Event, Fortnite will go into downtime at 2:30 PM ET. Look forward to v36.00 releasing later this evening!” reads an Epic Games tweet.
There’s no word on when server maintenance will come to an end, but fans can expect at least a couple of hours of downtime.
Hopefully this means UK fans will be able to check out the new season of content later this evening.
Speaking of the new season, update 36.00 introduces a superhero theme to Fortnite Battle Royale.
As you can see from the image below, the new Battle Pass skins include Superman and Robin.
In addition to Superman and Robin, upcoming Battle Pass and Item Shop skins include Synthwave, Myst, Storm Beast, Killswitch and Chameleon.
As for the Season 3 map, fans can explore new and returning locations such as Supernova Academy and Utopia City.
Other POIs include Demon’s Domain, Shogun’s Solitude, Shining Span, Outpost Enclave and Kappa Kappa Factory.
That’s on top of Canyon Crossing, Crime City, Lonewolf Lair, Flooded Frogs, Outlaw OasisFoxy Floodgate and Brutal Boxcars.
Elsewhere, some fans have discovered new crossovers coming to Fortnite in the coming weeks.
Cleveland from Family Guy will reportedly join Fortnite, alongside Deadmau5, Bob’s Burgers and King of the Hill.
