The news was announced by Epic Games on Twitter, alongside a preview about what to expect.

“Get ready to Spring into v24.10 with downtime beginning at 4 AM ET and matchmaking disabled shortly beforehand.”

Based on the tweet, Epic Games will use the update to launch the Easter event in Battle Royale.
