Matchmaking will be disabled approximately 30 minutes beforehand, which means you won’t be able to join a new game after 8.30am. The news was announced by Epic Games on Twitter, alongside a preview about what to expect from the big new download. “To break the curse, use the curse… Jujutsu Kaisen is coming to take over the Battle Royale Island,” reads an Epic tweet. “Downtime for v25.30 starts at 04:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC). Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes before downtime.” As you can see from the tweet above, the update will be headlined by the arrival of skins and items from Jujutsu Kaisen. Judging by a recent Twitter post, the new Jujutsu Kaisen skins include Gojo Satoru, Kugisaki Nobara, Fushiburo Megumi and Itadori Yuuji.  In addition to Jujutsu Kaisen skins and items, Epic Games is also expected to announce a crossover with WWE. If the rumours are to be believed, WWE Superstars Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair will join Fortnite. Express Online will update this article with all the latest developments once the patch goes live.
