Fortnite 30.40 update early patch notes – Release date, LEGO Battle Bus & FNAF crossover rumored

As a longtime Fortnite enthusiast with countless hours spent battling it out in the Arena, I can hardly contain my excitement for the impending 30.40 update! The prospect of a LEGO-themed fast travel system and the potential arrival of the elusive Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover has me eagerly counting down the days until August 6th.

In simple terms, the final significant update for Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 3, version 30.40, is coming up. After that, focus will shift towards the upcoming season.

As a gamer, I’m super hyped about the upcoming Chapter 5 Season 4! It seems like it’s going to be Marvel-themed, with Doctor Doom taking center stage after the thrilling Deadpool & Wolverine collaboration. But before we dive into that, Epic Games has got one more surprise in store for us – an update jam-packed with LEGO content, and there are even whispers of a potential Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover! Can’t wait to see what else they have up their sleeves!

Here are the early patch notes for the Fortnite 30.40 update. 

Fortnite 30.40 update release date & downtime

On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, we can expect the arrival of Fortnite update version 30.40, according to a post made by the developers themselves.

According to previous notifications, it seems that the maintenance might start around 1 AM Pacific Time, 4 AM Eastern Time, or 9 AM British Summer Time. This maintenance may continue for several hours, during which time you won’t be able to play the game, and matchmaking will also be temporarily unavailable.

Battle Bus, sleep, and more coming to LEGO mode in v30.40

Despite not disclosing specific alterations to the primary Battle Royale modes just yet, Epic Games has confirmed that an abundance of LEGO content will be included in the upcoming version 30.40 update.

The main addition is the Battle Bus, which will act as the long-awaited fast travel system that fans have been calling for. This will let players quickly navigate their islands without having to manually run between bases.

Get ready! The Battle Bus, nighttime rest, fresh toys, and additional features are all part of our Fast Travel Update, due on August 6th. 🛤️

In some upcoming updates for LEGO mode, there’s an exciting new addition: the ability to pause and rest until morning, a feature often seen in survival games but overlooked since its launch. This feature will enable players to bypass the nighttime, which is significantly more difficult than daytime activities like gathering resources and constructing due to the higher number of enemies active during these hours.

Additionally, the developers hinted at new “Playthings” that might expand the possibilities for constructing buildings, but their specific details have yet to be disclosed.

Fortnite x Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover rumored

Ever since it was revealed that Fortnite’s 30.40 update would be released on August 6, whispers have started about a possible Five Nights at Freddy’s collaboration in the upcoming patch. Although no formal confirmation has been given, hints dropped by FNAF developers suggest they might be working on a secret partnership set to launch on the same day.

To mark the game’s 10-year anniversary, there has been a long-standing desire among fans for a partnership between these two entities. Given this anticipation, it seems like an ideal moment to take action and make that collaboration happen.

Time alone can reveal whether this is accurate or not, and if it is, what new skins, cosmetics, and items might be involved. However, such an event could potentially mark a fitting conclusion for Chapter 5 Season 3.

Just as mentioned earlier; here’s the lineup for August!
