Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, titled "Myths and Mortals," was scheduled to launch on March 8. However, players are experiencing server issues, causing delays in the release of the new season. This season is themed around Greek mythology, with Pandora's Box being opened during a recent live event, unleashing various evils onto the Island.
New Features and Locations
The new season introduces Olympian legends like Hades and Zeus, who now rule the Island with their mythological powers. Players must utilize these powers, including the Thunderbolt of Zeus and the Wings of Icarus, to navigate through new locations such as Mount Olympus, Grim Gate, The Underworld, and Brawler's Battleground.
Fortnite Server Status and Maintenance
Currently, Fortnite servers are undergoing scheduled maintenance for the version 29.00 update, leading to extended downtime. The maintenance, initially expected to be completed by 4 p.m. EST, encountered unexpected issues, resulting in further delays.
Expected Return of Servers
As of now, Fortnite servers are still down, with an estimated additional 8 hours of downtime reported by Epic Games on Twitter. Players are eagerly awaiting the completion of maintenance to launch into Chapter 5 Season 2: Myths and Mortals.
Explanation for Server Queue
The server queue experienced by players is a common occurrence during new season launches or major events. It happens when the servers become overwhelmed by a surge of players attempting to log in simultaneously, resulting in delays in accessing the game.
