New Fortnite Update Today 3.89 Patch Notes – 9th May 2023

Epic Games have pushed out a brand new Fortnite update today, 3.89, on several platforms. Here are the patch notes.

Prior to last week’s v24.30 Fortnite update, we hadn’t had a major patch release for three weeks when the usual cycle of releases is every two weeks.

However, for most of the player base, the update was worth it. The much leaked Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration went live which includes new cosmetics, a rewards pass to earn cosmetics including Darth Maul, and the return of Star Wars items.

Lightsabers are back in the game along with the other weapons we’ve seen released in the past. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a pickaxe lightsaber, but players can pick up skins including Anakin Skywalker, Padme, and the 501st and 212th Stormtroopers.

The v24.30 Fortnite update also included force training that allows players to train in order to get abilities including sprinting faster and the ability to double jump while your lightsaber is equipped.

Players can also lift and throw objects from the environment and hurl them at players. If you accept Anakin Skywalker’s training, you’ll be able to pull objects and players towards you.

With last week’s update, players weren’t expecting to receive a notification to download the latest version of Fortnite, 3.89. Here’s what you need to know about the May 9th, 2023 update.

Fortnite Update 3.89 Patch Notes – 9th May 2023

Epic Games announced on the official Fortnite Status Twitter account that they released a maintenance Fortnite update (3.89) on May 9th, 2023.

The new update is available to download on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and Android.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing new that’s been added today, and the new release only addresses stability issues that have been plaguing the game for the past couple of weeks.

Fortnite Update today 3.89

With the new season of Fortnite a month ago, Epic will release one or two more major updates before then with the next update scheduled for next Tuesday.

Is Goku Black Coming to Fortnite? Goku Day Release Date

New leaks point towards a Goku Black Fortnite skin coming to the game. Here’s what we know.

Since their first collaboration back in Fortnite chapter 1 season 3, Epic Games has continued to build on their metaverse, especially in the last couple of years.

A handful of collaborations stretch beyond just having cosmetics available in the item shop. The most recent collaboration with Star Wars includes quests that provide players with free cosmetics.

There’s also a premium rewards track for the Star Wars collaboration that’s available for 1,000 V-Bucks that will provide access to Darth Maul and other cosmetics not available in the free rewards track.

We usually get a few collaborations each season, so we’re expecting a couple more before the end of the current season. As usual, data miners have provided some information for the next collaboration.

If leaks are correct, there will be another Fortnite x Dragon Ball collaboration. Here are the details we have so far.

Goku Black Fortnite

According to a reliable data miner and leaker, G Matrix Games, there are textures in the current Fortnite files for a Goku Black Fortnite skin.

The model is different from the current Son Goku outfit that was released with the first Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration.

It also looks like there’s a style for Goku Black that’s Super Saiyan Rosé. Along with the finding of the new skin, there’s a chance we could see a remodel of the original Goku skin, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Along with the new outfit, a Dual-Wield pickaxe will be released alongside an Emote and Wrap.

When is Goku Black Coming to Fortnite? Release Date

It’s likely that the Goku Black Fortnite skin and the Super Saiyan Rosé style will be available to purchase on Goku Day, which is on May 9th.

If that’s the case, we should get confirmation or a teaser posted by Epic Games before the release date.

However, players weren’t aware of the extent of the latest collaboration with Star Wars. There are four new Star Wars skins along with other cosmetics available to purchase in bundles or individually.

There’s also a Find the Force Fortnite event tab. The tab explains the event, links to the quests, and provides a look at all of the cosmetic rewards that are available.

There are both free and premium rewards in the Find the Force event. The premium rewards pass costs 1,000 V-Bucks to unlock, but you’ll still need to earn Galactic Reupation in order to unlock them.

Fortnite Darth Maul, Padme, Clone Trooper, Anakin Skywalkers Fortnite Skins Revealed

Data miners have leaked the Fortnite Star Wars skins from the v24.30 update. As expected, both Darth Maul and Padme will be available to purchase from the item shop.

It’s been three weeks since the last major Fortnite update. However, players have been happy to wait for today’s v24.30 update thanks to the collaboration that was announced by Epic Games last week.

As expected, during downtime for today’s update, data miners have leaked the new Star Wars Fortnite skins. There’s a total of four skins that will be available to purchase from the item shop.

Here’s a look at all of the new Star Wars skins thanks to popular data miners ShiinaBR and Hypex.

Clone Trooper Fortnite Star Wars Skin

Epic has decided to release two different Clone Trooper skins, both of which can be purchased from the 501st and 212th Battalion Trooper Pack along with a Clone Trooper Wrap Pack.

Clone Trooper Fortnite Skins

Anakin Skywalker Fortnite Skin

Epic Games announced the latest Star Wars x Fortnite collaboration by posting an image of the Anakin Skywalker skin. However, we now know that back bling, pickaxe, glider, wrap, and spray are part of the set.

Padmé Amidala Skin

One of the skins we weren’t expecting Epic to release was a Padmé Amidala outfit. The Padmé bundle includes a glider, pickaxe, and a back bling.

Padme Fortnite Skin

Fortnite Darth Maul Skin

It’s unlikely anyone expected Epic Games to release a Darth Maul skin in the v24.30 update but here we are. It’s likely this will be the go-to Fortnite Star Wars skin for the next few weeks.

Here’s a close-up of the Darth Maul Fortnite skin:

Darth Maul Fortnite Skin

Here’s a look at more of the skin from the Star Wars Fortnite promo asset:

How to get Darth Maul in Fortnite

Based on the information the data miners have provided, it looks like Darth Maul will be the only skin not available to purchase from the item shop.

Instead, it appears as though it will be a reward at the end of the current season, possibly an extra Battle Pass rewarded or a crew reward.

UPDATE: It looks like it’ll be part of the Find the Force event pass.

The other cosmetics will be available to purchase from the item shop as soon as downtime is over for the 24.30 update. It’s likely they’ll be available to purchase for the next week or so.

Fortnite Star Wars 24.30 (3.88) Update Patch Notes: Event Details & Server Downtime (2nd May, 2023)

Here’s everything you need to know about today’s (May 2nd, 2023) Fortnite 24.30 (3.88) update including the Star Wars collaboration event.

Epic Games usually release a new major Fortnite patch update every two weeks. However, this hasn’t been the case in chapter 4 season 2.

The last major release, 24.20, was released more than three weeks ago. However, we did get a content update last week which saw the old SMG being vaulted with the legendary variant being made available.

Players haven’t been too concerned with the lack of major Fortnite updates this season. That’s mainly in part to the upcoming Star Wars x Fortnite collaboration that was leaked by data miners a few weeks ago.

However, Epic Games confirmed the latest Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration in a tweet, confirming an Anakin Skywalker skin would be coming to the game.

Star Wars Fortnite Anakin Skywalker Skin

With the v24.30 (3.88) Fortnite update now being confirmed by the official Fortnite Status Twitter account, we can take a look at what we can expect from the latest release.

Fortnite Update 24.30 Server Downtime Time (05/02/23)

Whenever there’s a major patch being released, there’s always downtime in order to prepare the servers for the latest release.

Epic will always announce when server downtime is expected to take place and the 3.88 update is no different. The Fortnite Status Twitter account confirmed when downtime will begin.

The servers will go down for scheduled maintenance on May 2nd, 2023 at 3 AM ET / 8 AM BST / 9 AM CEST. Matchmaking will be disabled shortly before the given time, likely thirty minutes prior.

Here’s the official tweet from the status account:

Fortnite 24.30 Update Server Downtime

As with every release, Epic hasn’t announced how long the servers will be down or when we can expect them to be back online. However, based on previous updates this year, it’s safe to assume they’ll be down for at least two hours.

That means the servers should be back online at roughly 5 AM ET / 10 AM BST / 11 AM CEST. We’ll update this article when the game is back online.

Fortnite 3.88 (v24.30) Update Early Patch Notes – May 2nd, 2023

Star Wars Collaboration Event

The biggest talking point of today’s 3.88 (24.30) Fortnite update is Fortnite and Star Wars collaborating once again to celebrate Star Wars day.

Fortnite Star Wars Skins

We already know from Epic Games’ tweet that Anakin Skywalker will be available to purchase from the item shop. There has been no other official information regarding the collaboration.

However, thanks to data miners, we do know that there will be at least one more Star Wars Fortnite skin that’ll be added to the game in the new downloadable patch release.

Star Wars Weapons

We also know that Lightsabers will once again be making a return to the game alongside the E-11 blasters.

We’ll also be getting new “force” Mythic items along with a new blaster weapon being added to the loot pool. Apart from that, we don’t have any further information on the collaboration.

We’ll be covering all of the leaks from the 24.30 (3.88) update, so be sure to check back on this page for all the latest leaks, news, and guides.

Aside from the Spring Breakout challenges and rewards, there wasn’t too much other content that was added. The Easter Egg Launcher was unvaulted and new eggs were added to the game as floor loot.

Thankfully Epic Games have announced that the v24.20 (3.87) Fortnite update will be released today. Here is what we know so far about the upcoming release.

Fortnite Scheduled Server Downtime – 11th, April 2023 – Is Fortnite Down?

As you’ll know by now, Epic Games take down the Fortnite servers prior to a new update release. Today’s 3.87 Fortnite update is no different and Epic has announced when scheduled maintenance will begin.

The servers will go down at 3 AM ET / 8 AM BST / 9 AM CEST. However, matchmaking will be disabled shortly beforehand, likely thirty minutes prior.

In the tweet announcing the new update on the Fortnite Status Twitter account, Epic stated that the patch size for the 24.20 (3.87_ update will be larger than normal.

Here’s the official tweet:

Fortnite 24.20 Update Server Downtime

It’s likely that as soon as the servers are back online, players will be able to purchase the new Attack on Titan cosmetics from the shop.

We’ll also be getting Attack on Titan Mythic items added to the loot pool including the waist grappler that’s been teased several times already.

The Attack on Titan Eren Jaeger Battle Pass skin will also be available to unlock by completing challenges that’ll be released in the 3.87 update.

Mikasa and Levi Attack on Titan Fortnite Skins Release Date Confirmed

Epic Games have confirmed the release of the Mikasa and Levi Attack On Titan Fortnite skins.

It’s almost been a month since Epic Games released Fortnite chapter 4 season 2. The season has gone down well with the player base thanks to the map changes and the addition of several new items.

There’s no arguing that the Kinetic Blade is the most popular addition in season 2. In terms of the most popular Battle Pass skin, that’s a toss-up.

However, players are still awaiting the arrival of the Attack on Titan Fortnite Eren Jaeger skin that’ll be available to unlock shortly.

 

Players won’t have to wait long until they can get their hands on other Attack on Titan Fortnite skins though. Epic Games released a teaser video showcasing two upcoming collaboration skins.

Attack on Titan Mikasa and Levi Fortnite Skins

Epic Games released a video showcasing two new Attack on Titan Fortnite skins that’ll be available this month. Both Mikasa and Levi will be entering the Fortnite universe.

Mikasa Fortnite Skin

There will more than likely be other cosmetics that will be available in the item shop when the two new skins drop. However, it’s unlikely that we’ll get a good look at all of the new cosmetics until next week’s update.

Release Date

Epic usually releases a new major Fortnite update every two weeks. The next major patch falls on April 11th, 2023, which is when the v24.20 update is scheduled to release.

The Mikasa and Levi Fortnite skins will be available to purchase on the same date, April 11th. It’s likely the new Attack on Titan Fortnite cosmetics will be available to purchase as soon as the downtime for the update is over.
