"The day has finally arrived--after months and months of leaks and rumors, Fortnite's Simpsons season launches today. Just not quite yet, because Fortnite is offline for maintenance following the "Welcome, Our Alien Overlords" event, during which players were treated to a Simpsons short film that explained how they ended up being a part of the Fortnite omniverse. As is standard operating procedure for Epic, Fortnite goes offline when it's time for a major update."
"Epic is planning to bring Fortnite back online for The Simpsons season at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET, though that time is an estimate and not set in stone. In reality, Fortnite maintenance rarely ends on schedule, as it's simply done when it's done--which actually often means sooner than expected. Fortnite maintenance usually lasts between four and seven hours, and the planned start time here splits the difference exactly at 5.5 hours of downtime. So don't be surprised if the season starts a little before or a little after that time."
Fortnite is currently offline for maintenance following the "Welcome, Our Alien Overlords" event and a related Simpsons short film. Epic schedules major updates with server downtime and has timed this season launch for a Saturday evening primetime slot. Servers are expected to return around 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET, but that is an estimate since maintenance often finishes earlier or later and typically lasts four to seven hours. The new season introduces a cel-shaded Springfield map, a Simpsons-themed battle pass, and a revamped loot pool, representing a deeply integrated collaboration.
