Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 launch delayed due to last-minute snag
08.03.2024 - 19:02 / eurogamer.net / Ios
Today's long-awaited arrival of Greek gods and legendary lands on the Fortnite battle royale Island is taking a little longer than planned, developer Epic Games has now said.
Chapter 5 Season 2: Myths and Mortals was set to go live this morning, UK time, but will now launch at 10pm tonight at the earliest.
This is due to a last-minute issue discovered during the game's still-ongoing downtime today, which will take at least the rest of the UK day to resolve.

«We apologise for making everyone wait longer than usual to drop into Chapter 5 Season 2 of Battle Royale. The team is working through this as quickly as possible, and we'll provide another update when we have more info.»
Downtime for Fortnite is unusual, other than a brief intermission of a few hours between seasons (and longer waits as the game shifts maps in between Chapters, typically following a cataclysmic on-Island event).
The launch of Myths and Mortals has been hotly-anticipated, with last week's enormous hand and Pandora's Box live event setting the stage for a markedly different new season.
Epic Games has this morning detailed much of what players should expect — namely, Greek gods to play as in the game's battle pass and encounter on the map as boss characters, who drop Medallions that grant gameplay-changing effects. There are new powers to wield in battle, such as the Thunderbolt of Zeus you can rain down on opponents, and a power-up that grants the ability to fly: the Wings of Icarus.
Swathes of the battle royale Island map have also changed, with a huge new Mount Olympus location, and a creepy-looking Underworld complete with flowing Styx.
It's been a busy week for Epic Games, which announced its Apple developer account had been blocked — scuppering its initial plans for Fortnite to return to iPhones in Europe. The EU is now investigating.
