Fortnite servers are currently undergoing maintenance as Epic Games rolls out the much-anticipated v33.30 update. The scheduled downtime started at 4 AM EST (9 AM GMT, 8 PM AEDT) and is expected to last until 6:30 AM EST (11:30 AM GMT, 10:30 AM AEDT). However, players should remain prepared for potential delays, as the maintenance period may extend beyond the anticipated time frame. During this period, all in-game modes will be unavailable, but the Fortnite official website remains accessible.
Revisiting the Past with OG Season 2
The v33.30 update brings back the nostalgic experience of Fortnite's OG Season 2, with the iconic Tilted Towers making its return. Alongside this beloved location, players will also find the reintroduction of Small Shield Potions and several other classic features from the game's early days. This update follows the launch of Fortnite OG in November 2023, which aimed to resurrect the 2018 map and reignite the charm of Fortnite's earlier seasons. Season 2 builds on this nostalgia, further immersing players in the game’s legacy.
OG Pass and Exclusive Rewards
As part of the update, the OG Pass has been introduced for players looking to dive into the action. Those subscribed to Fortnite Crew will have access to the pass, along with exclusive rewards and the seasonal battle pass. The OG Pass is designed to enhance the nostalgic experience by offering rewards tied to the return of classic content.
Future Updates and Expectations
Though Epic Games has not released further details about the update’s full scope, players can expect new content, balance changes, and potential surprises. If maintenance takes longer than expected, official updates will be shared on Epic's status page and social media channels, keeping players informed.
Until the servers are back online, fans of Fortnite's OG experience will need to wait for the return of the classic chaos and action.
