Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 delayed – “downtime longer than usual”


News is reaching us of a delay to the new season of Fortnite - Chapter 5 Season 2 of a few hours as the devs are intent on getting things right.

There is no explanation for why the update is taking longer than normal, but players who have been waiting to connect for the past few hours look like they may as well go and grab a coffee because it seems the launch is not imminent. As you might expect some of the responses have been fairly “entitled” with people complaining about the wait time and that the message is a little vague as to an exact time but whatever issues are being worked through it is better to get them right than end up having to pull an update as happened last year when Spiderman’s web-slinging antics brought the game to a standstill and had to be removed for fixing. Having spent time as Head of Communications at a professional sports club and working for high-profile charities such as the National Literacy Trust, he returned as Managing Editor in charge of large US-based technology websites in 2020.
