Fortnite update 21.40 is finally here, but only after a while of extended server downtime. Update 21.40 – referred to as the Dragon Ball Update – has been given a release date of August 16, and a release time of 9am GMT UK. After three weeks of not having a major patch, this week’s update is going to be a big deal, especially if you’re a Dragon Ball fan.
First, there is the small issue of server downtime, which officially starts at 9am GMT. It’s worth noting that matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes before the downtime, so remember to sign in before that time if you want a quick game.
The news was announced by Epic Games on Twitter, along with confirmation of a Dragon Ball event, and even a countdown timer for the Fortnite x Dragon Ball trailer.
“Yo! Let’s Go! Update v21.40 is set for release on August 16! Downtime starts at 04:00 ET (08:00 UTC), with matchmaking disabled 30 minutes ago.”
The trailer – which can be seen below – airs at 9am UK time, so check back to watch it live.
As for the new content, several leaks and inside information have given fans a good idea of what to expect.
In fact, according to Fortnite fan Chyna, upcoming Dragon Ball skins include Goku, Vegeta, and Beerus. The new skins will accompany seven weeks of free challenges, rewards, and an array of in-game items and points of interest.
Judging by a leaked trailer, fans can expect the Capsule Corner to join the map, not to mention the public cinema where Dragon Ball trailers will be shown.
Players will also be able to roam the map in Flying Nimbus and Saiyan Pod, and connect with friends using Fusion Dance emote.
Needless to say, Epic Games will be making a bunch of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. You can see update 21.40 patch notes below…
