The new Fortnite update has a release time of 9:00 a.m. BST, which coincides with a period of server downtime.

The offline server downtime is expected to last for a few hours, meaning Fortnite should be back online around 11 a.m.

According to the early patch notes, the new update heralds the next phase of the Fortnitemares event.

“Are you ready? The next phase of Fortnitemares is almost here!” reads an epic tweet.

“The v18.21 update is scheduled to release on October 19. Downtime will begin at approximately 4:00 a.m. ET, and matchmaking will be disabled approximately 30 minutes early.”

This year’s Fortnitemares event is titled ‘Wrath Of The Cube Queen’, which ties into the movement of the Cubes.

Judging by the latest leaks, Fortnite fans will also be able to complete Ghostbusters Afterlife quests during the event.

Needless to say, update 18.21 should also fix some of the long running issues with the game.
