The next Fortnite update won’t arrive on the date Epic Games previously revealed. This will be the biggest update of the Remix season and one of the most important updates of the year. Not only will Epic add new cosmetics and items with it, but several new features will come out. This includes Kicks, a new type of cosmetic item, and the Fortnite Reload map rotation.
The Fortnite developer announced that the update was postponed on Friday night. The company also revealed a new release date, and here’s everything you need to know about it.
The next Fortnite update will be delayed
As Epic revealed on its blog, the big update was originally supposed to come out on Tuesday, November 12. What makes this one of the most important updates is the addition of Kicks. This new cosmetic item allows further customization of skins, which is a complete game-changer! When the update drops, more than 500 skins will be supported by Kicks, and more than 95% of them will be compatible early next year.
Unfortunately, the Fortnite creator postponed the update for Wednesday, November 13. Luckily, this delay is not significant and it simply means that we will have to wait 24 hours longer for the new content to drop. The company announced this on X (formerly Twitter) and will reveal the exact downtimes early next week.
Epic revealed that Jordan Kicks will be released with the Chapter 2 Remix Battle Pass. Furthermore, the game developer will launch a pair of Original Kicks in the Item Shop.
Besides Kicks, the next Fortnite update will bring a map rotation to Fortnite Reload. At the moment, we can only play Desert Drop, which is a new map added with the Remix season. However, once the update comes out, this map will rotate with the original one every 30 minutes.
