Downtime begins at 4am Eastern Time (0800 GMT).
The v4.5 update for Epic Games' game is expected to bring the highly anticipated Playground limited time mode or LTM to the battle royale title. Offering the first form of an ability to host private and custom matches, the Playground LTM will allow players to have an island all to themselves where they will have increased building materials to practice their building skills without a threat of being eliminated by enemy players. Respawning and friendly fire will be enabled as well, which is a welcomed site for competitive players who will now have the ability to create their own private matches and compete against one another.
There has been official confirmation from Epic Games stating that the Playground LTM will be made available with the v4.5 update for Fortnite. However, a message regarding the Playground LTM for Fortnite appeared in the title's in-game news tab this past weekend stating that it would be "coming soon". As with past content updates, the timetable of "coming soon" has routinely meant that the content item in question would be added into Fortnite the following week.
No other official information regarding what changes v4.5 will bring to the title at the time of its arrival, but several leaked images from dataminer extraordinaire TwoEpicBuddies suggest that the v4.5 update for Fortnite could be bringing major changes to several areas of the map, such as a new building in Titlted Towers, the rocket possibly missing from the villain's lair and other changes to Dusty Divot.
The community will now only be able to wait and see when the scheduled time for the Fortnite v4.5 update hits to see if the Plaground LTM and the leaked map changes are added into the battle royale game at the time of the highly anticipated update.
