Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 2 update has encountered unexpected downtime due to an issue with the update. Epic Games apologised and said they need at least eight additional hours to extend downtime. The game was scheduled to be online again today at 10pm GMT at the earliest. The Myths & Monsters update was teased last week, and earlier today, Epic Games shared the Chapter 5 Season 2 update. The update sees the game’s island transformed to feature several key locations from Greek mythology.
Myths & Monsters will include things such as Mount Olympus and the Underworld, bringing Olympian legends, such as Hades and Zeus, to the island in “otherworldly rage” with their powers and weapons. The update also includes new weapons such as the Thunderbolt Of Zeus which allows players to hurl lightning bolts at their target, and the Wings Of Icarus which gives players the power of flight. Additionally, another power – Chains Of Hades – will be introduced as part of a future update, with players encouraged to “use their mythological means against them.”
