Fortnite has rolled out tons of content for the Marvel-themed season.

Its most recent patch some new LTM's for casual players as well as balance changes around weapons.

Now, Fortnitemares 2020 has taken over the game and will be the talk of Fortnite for the next few weeks.

So, when can we expect the next patch and what will be inside?

Let's take a look!

Downtime Confirmed

The FortniteStatus account has confirmed the downtime for the new update!

Release Date

Typically, Epic has released patches every two weeks, as they no longer do weekly patches.

This time however it seems we are back to weekly patches, as the newest Fornite update, Patch v14.40, will follow this format.

But, we do not know if Epic will continue this trend with the next patch.

Patch Notes

By now, most of you are well aware that Epic does not like to release patch notes for whatever reason.

Instead, we must rely on Epic Games creators to post the patch notes on Twitter the night before the update.

Expect the notes to be revealed late the night before the update.

New Skins – Black Panther and Venom

New Weapons/NPC's

HYPEX tweeted out the following image which is a brand new set of leaks that may appear next patch.

Here are some things that @intercelluar & i found until leaking is back to normal: - Epic are working on a Slurp Bazooka - There's an unreleased "Fire Extinguisher" item - We might get a "Snowman NPC" that grants you a quest, it has conversations, can explode and/or spawn loot

Perhaps we will see the Slurp Bazooka and Fire Extinguisher implemented next patch.

As it appears unlikely we will see a Snowman NPC in November!
