Today, we are going to step into the second season of Chapter 3, and obviously, we all are hyped for what Epic Games has planned for gamers in the new season. However, before the new season kicks off, we will need to wait for the server maintenance and downtime to conclude, and usually, it doesn’t take more than a few hours!

The downtime is expected to last for 1 or 2 hours, though you really can’t predict these kinds of backend works as unexpected things always happen.

Once the servers go down, we will let you know of any important leak that comes out from the new season. Without a doubt, the new season will further expand the story and bring more new outfits to the Item Shop. A rumored Dr. Strange crossover could also be available on the launch day of Season 2 in Chapter 3.
Fortnite is now available for free on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, Android, and PC. The iOS version is still out of reach!
