Fortnite developer Epic Games is ready to release update 19.20 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Android.
Two weeks in the making, the new Fortnite Battle Royale and Save the World update has a February 1 release date.
Fortnite update 19.20 has a 9am GMT launch time for fans living in the UK.
As a major update, the patch will be accompanied by a period of server downtime, which runs from 9am until around 11am.
Matchmaking will be disabled at 8.30am GMT, which means you won’t be able to join a new game after this point.
The news was announced by Epic Games on Twitter: “v19.20 is covertly coming up (until we just announced it).
“The update is scheduled for release on February 1st. Downtime will begin at 04:00 AM ET, with matchmaking being disabled 30 minutes before.”
As you can see from the tweet, Epic is teasing the release of something secret. This is almost certainly a reference to Covert Canyon, which is a rumoured new location.
According to Fortnite insider Shiina, the new update will also bring new Star Wars or Spider-Man items.
You can see the full list of patch notes below…
