Fortnite developer Epic Games has announced plans to release update 21.10 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, Android and Nintendo Switch. The new Fortnite update has a June 21 release date. It will launch alongside a period of server downtime, which begins at 9am BST for fans living in the UK. With a number of events and high-profile crossovers on the horizon, Fortnite update 21.10 is shaping up to be a big one, so keep reading for more information.
The news was announced by Epic Games on Twitter, alongside hints for a new Darth Vader item: “v21.10 is scheduled for release on June 21. Impressive. Most impressive. Downtime will begin at 04:00 AM ET, with matchmaking disabled 30 minutes beforehand.”
Based on the early reports, Fortnite update 21.10 will introduce a brand new crossover with Naruto.
According to an advert spotted in Japan (see below), the next Fortnite x Naruto crossover will begin on June 24. Subtitled Rivals, the Naruto event will seemingly introduce a selection of new and returning skins, not to mention some kind of limited-time game mode.
Epic Games is also likely to add game files for the imminent Summer event, which is expected to start within the next couple of weeks.
If it’s anything like last year, the summer event should add new skins and themed items, as well as a selection of challenges.
Speaking of challenges, update 21.10 will add the next batch of weekly challenges, as well as Battle Pass Super Styles and some kind of new or unvaulted weapon.
