Fortnite chapter three has concluded with the Fracture live event. Players are currently unable to play the game with the servers down in preparation for Chapter 4. Here’s when you can expect to play Fortnite again.
After just under a year since the launch of Fortnite chapter three, it’s already concluded with the Fracture live event that took place today just after 4 PM ET.
There were rumors for almost two months that season four would conclude the current chapter. However, with there only four seasons, it seemed unlikely Epic would move on to chapter 4.
However, just over two weeks ago, Epic Games released a teaser image for the Fracture event that was labeled as the chapter three finale.
Last week, a blog post provided more information about the event including how to play and what to do before the season and chapter conclude.
The event concluded just over an hour ago with players being tasked with collecting Zero Point balls around broken parts of the Fortnite map that lasted just over forty minutes.
In my opinion, it was the worst Fortnite event we’ve had so far. There were numerous crashing issues during cut scenes, audio not playing, players not being able to login in to witness the event, and all around just being a boring waiting room for a one-minute cut scene.
However, during the cut scene, we got to see some of the Fortnite skins that’ll be available in chapter four including The Hulk, Geralt from The Witcher, Doom Slayer, and Mr Beast.
As soon as the event ended, players were loaded into a waiting screen where they can see their player toasting marshmallows over a campfire with the new map featuring in the distance.
Players are wondering how long the Fortnite servers downtime will last and when they’ll be able to play again. Here’s everything we know so far.
Is Fortnite Down Right Now? – December 3rd / 4th 2022
Yes, Fortnite is currently down on December 3rd, 2022. The servers will be down until December 4th, 2022. UPDATE: The servers are back online.
When Will the Fortnite Servers Be Back Up & When Can I Play Again 2022
After the event, the Fortnite servers were brought down prior to downtime being announced for the release of chapter 4. Whenever Epic Games take the servers down, they never mention when Fortnite will be back up.
However, the last few season launches for Fortnite have seen the servers come back online at roughly 7 AM ET / 12 PM GMT/UTC. We’d expect you to be able to play Fortnite again just after 7 AM ET / 12 PM GMT.
We’ll update this as soon as the servers are online, but don’t expect them to be online any time before 4 AM ET.
Whilst you wait, head over to the Fortnite Chapter 4 website to enter coordinates and discover new objects. The site will likely provide insight into what you can expect to see next season.
