That means new cosmetics, returning items and more that we can expect once downtime ends.

So, without further ado, here’s what’s in the patch notes for today’s Fortnite update!

It doesn’t seem like there’s much more to this update, probably because the Epic Games team is busy getting ready for the launch of Chapter 7 Season 2 in a few weeks.

We’re hoping to learn more soon about when The Visitor will rejoin The Seven, and how that fits into the story for next season and the next in-game event.
