Fortnite update released: Predator, Jungle Hunter, one big alien skull! Chris Burns - Jan 20, 2021, 9:49am CST The latest Fortnite update is ready to roll, including a new boss character, a new mythic item, new Jungle Hunter Quests, and IO Guards removed from the Arena. Overnight an issue appeared with searching for specific players through friends lists – if you’re still experiencing that, make sure you’re not “mass accepting” any friend requests in the interim. UPDATE: Fornite’s creators suggest they’ve fixed the error this morning. Downtime for Fortnite update version 15.21 started at 3AM Central Time on January 20, 2021. It was scheduled to last a couple of hours, and should be done by the time you read this update to this article. A list of Known Issues can be found on the Trello board for this update now.
