After Zero Hour, Fortnite players are waiting with bated breath... When and at what time will Chapter 7 of Battle Royale begin? Sortiraparis attempts to answer this question... What we do know is that this new chapter will begin at the end of the event, after Epic Games has completed server maintenance, the schedule for which has been partially announced.
According to information provided by Epic Games, the servers were taken offline immediately after the end of Zero Hour. The event lasted approximately 30 minutes (at least in terms of accessibility) and ended around 8:30 p.m. French time. This interruption marks the arrival of update v39.00, which will introduce Chapter 7.
Maintenance is expected to last "several hours," suggesting a longer duration than usual seasonal updates. According to the countdown at the end of the event, maintenance should be completed after 3 a.m.
Players are encouraged to preload the game, an option that is already available, to avoid long download times when it comes back online. The update is expected to be large, due to the introduction of a new map and numerous changes related to Chapter 7. Epic Games also recommends checking the official status page regularly, which will provide live updates on when maintenance will end and the servers will reopen.
