In this article, we will take a look at the early patch notes for the v30.40 Fortnite update. These patch notes are based on both leaks and announcements from Epic Games.
The next Fortnite update will bring many new things
The next Fortnite update is scheduled for Tuesday, August 6. Considering that this is a major update, servers will go down, and we will have to download the update. Furthermore, the server downtime may last for at least two hours, meaning that the game won’t be available during this period.

The entire Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass may have already been leaked, and the upcoming update may confirm it. Knowing Epic, the development team will likely put many new files in the game data, hinting at the future content. Considering that the next season will have a Marvel theme, we expect several big-name superheroes and villains to make it to the game.
Epic also added a lot of files regarding the Fortnite x Fall Guys collaboration with the last update. However, these files haven’t been fully enabled yet. August 6 is the official start date of the collab, and this is when we will get access to new Fall Guys-themed maps and skins.
