Here's something to delight gamers who love Fortnite! The Battle Royale has just closed its current season in style, on March 8, 2024, at 6am (French time). A date that players have known about for some time, if you pay attention to the end date of the Battle Pass indicated in the lobby. Epic Games, always at the top of its game, has even begun teasing its new season, entitled Myths and Mortals. But when and at what time is season 2 due to start?
The new season was due to start straight away, with maintenance beginning at 9am (matchmaking deactivated 30 minutes beforehand). But problem: according to Insider ShiinaBR, this maintenance seems to be taking a little longer than expected. The servers are not expected to be accessible for several hours.
BREAKING: The downtime will be MULTIPLE HOURS longer than intended 😔

A longer maintenance confirmed by Epic Games, via the official Fortnite accounts on social networks, even speaking of eight hours of additional maintenance.
We've encountered an unexpected issue during our maintenance and need to extend it by at least another 8 hours 🥲

A maintenance to which we still have to add five hours, at 9:20 pm French time, according to @ShiinaBR :
THE SCHEDULED DOWNTIME HAS BEEN EXTENDED ‼️

It's now scheduled to end in 5 HOURS from now.
What else can we expect? Epic Games has revealed a great deal of information on the subject. We'll be immersed in a theme revolving around gods and mythological beings from all horizons, where mythology and colossal statues promise to transform the Fortnite arena into an epic battlefield.
