Fortnite developer Epic Games is skipping update 13.10 and going straight into patch 13.20.
Update 13.20 has been given a June 30 release date on PS4, Xbox One, PC, iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch.
Like most major updates, the new patch will be accompanied by offline server downtime on all platforms.
Server maintenance will begin at 7am BST in the UK, and should last for around two hours.
With the servers offline, fans will be able to download update 13.20, which is expected to make major changes to the game.
The news was announced by Epic Games on Twitter: “We’re adding new flare to the game. v13.20 arrives Tuesday, June 30. (Yes, we jumped numbers!) Downtime will begin at 2 AM ET (06:00 UTC).”
As the tweet suggests, Epic Games is gearing up to add the Flare Gun to Fortnite as part of the new update.
According to the early patch notes, fans can also expect a wide range of bug fixes and quality of life improvements for Season 3.
There’s also a very good chance the water on the island will begin to recede, as Epic Games makes changes to the map.
Map changes were promised at the start of the season, along with new modes of transportation.
“As time goes on and water recedes, even more locations will be uncovered,” Epic reveals. “And as the roadways become more open, you’ll discover new ways to get around.”
The accompanying image suggests cars will be added to Fortnite in a future update, perhaps as early as version 13.20.
New locations are a little harder to predict, but the belief is that brand new points of interest will be joined by returning favourites.
As for the update 13.20 patch notes, Epic has promised to fix problems with emotes, outfits and supply drops.
