With just a short time left before the start of the event that will close Chapter 6, Fortnite players have been speculating for days about how long the servers will be down before the new phase of the game begins. Epic Games has not clarified this point, and the community is expecting a prolonged maintenance period like in previous instances.

Over the past few hours, a leak has gained traction that points in the opposite direction. According to a frequent informant in the community, the maintenance after the event could be much shorter than expected, reducing initial estimates and bringing forward the launch of Chapter 7.

A faster launch than expected for Fortnite Chapter 7

The Zero Hour event, scheduled for the night of November 29th (that is, today), will serve as the closing of the season and as a link to the new content. The prevailing theory until now was that Epic would leave the game in maintenance mode for most of the next day. But the sources cited by the leaker claim that the interruption would be minimal, just a few hours, enough to prepare the servers before reactivating them.

• If this scenario is confirmed, Season 1 of Chapter 7 could be available even on the same night as the event, or at the latest around midnight in Spain. Everything will depend on whether the technical process develops without setbacks.

Today’s event will include several special appearances, with characters from recent collaborations and even a humorous nod starring a giant Homer Simpson in underwear. After the final battle, the game will shut down its servers to prepare the new content and give way to the next big phase of the battle royale.
