Fortnite Summer Update: New Content, Quests, and Event with Metallica
Fortnite players can expect the Summer update to drop on June 25, bringing new quests, rewards, and a live concert event with Metallica. Downtime for updates usually starts around 2 AM ET on Tuesdays, lasting a couple of hours depending on the patch size. After June 25, the next Fortnite update is scheduled for July 23.
What to Expect from the Update
The most recent Fortnite update, Patch v30.10, introduced Metallica to the game, themed items, quests, and cosmetic rewards. The update also included a live concert event that gamers could watch on June 22 or 23. Due to an unexpected delay in the event launch, the release of Week 3 Quests and the Raiding the Rig Story Quests were pushed back.
The next update, v30.20, set to release two weeks after Patch v30.10, will bring the highly-anticipated Summer event to Fortnite. Every year, the Summer Fest event offers players themed quests and free cosmetics. According to Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR, the Summer update is expected to go live on June 25.
Significance of the Summer Update
The Summer update is significant as it tends to bring a wealth of new content to Fortnite, as Epic Games employees go on a month-long break afterward. With the next patch scheduled for July 23, players will have four weeks without additional content, making the Summer update crucial for new additions to the game.
Before the Update
Before the Summer update, Fortnite players have various quests and content to explore. Battle Royale fans can engage in Metallica Quests, Rocket Racing players can discover Metallica content and unlock free Adidas decals, and LEGO Fortnite fans can experience the newly added Expert and Casual Modes.
