Summary
FortniteGalactic Battle will be coming to an end soon, and Epic Games has just confirmed that downtime will begin on May 29 at 4 AM ET for the season’s last update. Throughout the month of March, gamers have been enjoying aStar Wars-themed season on the Battle Royale island, and it’s been hectic fun for most players. However, this is what has been dubbed a mini-season, so it won’t be live for long compared to standardFortniteseasons, which tend to last between two to three months; in total, the length of the Galactic Battle season is a mere 36 days.
With the end of the season fast approaching, gamers have started to wonder how the storyline of Galactic Battle will connect with the continuation of Chapter 6. TheStory Quests available thisFortniteseasonwere vague, to say the least, and didn’t provide players with many answers regarding the appearance of the Empire on the island. Whether the story will come to a conclusion or not remains a mystery for now, but players might get some answers soon with the Death Star Sabotage live event coming toFortniteon June 7.
TheDeath Star Sabotage eventwill be added to the game files with the next update, which has created even more anticipation for its release. Epic Games has at last confirmed when downtime will begin for the update, so gamers can prepare themselves for the patch. According to the officialFortniteStatus account on Twitter, downtime for patch v35.20 will begin on May 29 at 4 AM ET. As always, matchmaking will be disabled shortly before downtime begins. Usually, matchmaking stops working about half an hour before to make sure that players aren’t able to enter any Battle Royale matches that they wouldn’t be able to finish. With this in mind, players can expect to be able to enter their last match at around 3:30 AM ET.
