The scheduled weekly update has been abruptly delayed hours before it was supposed to drop

If Fortnite has been consistent at just one thing, it’s dropping a new patch every week. Weekly content updates or bug fixes has been a norm for the battle royale shooter game since blowing up in early 2018. Tonight, however, the next patch won’t be rolling out

V11.11 was originally planned to take effect on November 12th, 04:00 EST (0800 UTC). This seemed to be the plan all along, given just hours before the follow up tweet they confirmed the scheduled downtime

The announcement was met with a typical Epic hate train. “Why, Epic??” one lonely Twitter user posted. It got 3 whole likes, for the record

More importantly than a patch delay is the lack of concrete patch notes. Ever since Chapter 2 launched, the usual page where patch notes were found is no longer being updated. It all started when Epic left “patch notes” alongside the release of chapter 2… I put “patch notes” in quotations because there’s no information

Notable community figures such as SypherPK, Nickmercs, and even Ninja chimed in and all came to the same conclusion: we want patch notes. Hopefully Epic can regress to their previous status quo so I don’t have to see “#PatchNotes” spammed on my Twitter feed every day

When do you think the patch will drop? Let us know on Twitter
