Fortnite servers down for Chapter 6 Season 3 update – here's when they're back
Epic Games has taken Fortnite servers offline for the Chapter 6 Season 3 update after the Star Wars mini season came to an end with the Death Star Sabotage live event.
Fortnite players were treated to another live event to cap off the Star Wars-themed mini season with Death Star Sabotage and now servers are down as Epic rolls out the new season.
Fortnite servers are down for the Chapter 6 Season 3 update (yes, Season 3 – apparently the last season didn't count as a numbered entry) that's set to launch players into a rumoured superhero-themed season along with their Fortnite OG counterparts who'll be reliving the original Chapter 4, which had the theme of (drumroll) superheroes. It'll also wave goodbye to everything Star Wars for now, with the IP getting a whole season in this year's collab – even if it was a super short one.
That means no more whooshing around in TIE Fighters and X-Wings, which you might not be happy about. But on the flip side, we're also seeing the return of ammo-based weapons with the departure of the charge Star Wars weapons.
The Death Star Sabotage live event capped off the end of the Galactic Battle mini season, and players had a limited time to hop into the game to take part. After the climax, Epic Games turfed everyone out to take Fortnite servers down and implement the Season 3 update. But when will they be back online?
Here's what you need to know about this weekend's bout of downtime and when Fortnite servers are expected to be back up and running.
Fortnite server status
Fortnite servers went down right after the live event which started at at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST on Saturday, June 7 and ran for almost 20 minutes. The in-game screen confirmed that Fortnite servers will be back online at 5pm PDT / 8pm EDT or 1am BST / 2am CEDT on Sunday, June 8 if you're in the UK and Europe.
What to expect in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
While Epic has been keeping the theme of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 under wraps, leakers and dataminers have been busy ferreting about for more information. The next season is reportedly going to have a 'superhero academy' theme, not only aligning with the Fortnite OG theme, but also primes the game for a crossover with the upcoming James Gunn Superman movie releasing this July.
Here's what to expect to see in-game once Fortnite downtime, according to leakers @Hypex (collabs, new weapons, POIs, sprites):

What Rogue One director Gareth Edwards really thinks about his hit film
Gareth Edwards, director of ' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story', has downplayed claims that his 2016 film is the best Star Wars movie made by Disney since its acquisition of Lucasfilm. Despite earning over $1 billion globally and receiving widespread praise from fans and Star Wars alumni like Mark Hamill, Edwards expressed gratitude but disagreed with the assessment. Edwards explained his deep, lifelong connection to Star Wars, stating it was part of his life before he knew what a film was, and he never stops loving the original trilogy. Tony Gilroy, showrunner for the Disney+ prequel series ' Andor ', was heavily involved in extensive reshoots for 'Rogue One', describing the initial state as a 'mess' that he simplified by focusing on the theme of sacrifice. The 'Andor' series, which serves as a prequel to 'Rogue One', has been widely lauded by critics and fans, with some hailing it as among the greatest television storytelling in the franchise's history.
