Fortnite Reload is a surprising new mode with classic locations from the early Fourteen days seasons.
A mix of Fortnite OG from 2023 and War zoneIt’s Rebirth Island, a more compact map with a smaller number of players and no vehicles in sight.
The good news is that you don’t have to wait long to revisit Tilted Towers as the mode is available today. Here is the Fortnite Reload release date in your region and what to expect at the market launch.
What time will Fortnite Reload be released in your time zone?
Fourteen days Reload starts today, Saturday, June 22which will be introduced simultaneously around the world, after the first Metallica concert at 2:00 p.m. EDT.
This means that the Fortnite Reload release time in your time zone is as follows:
- 11am PDT for the west coast of North America
- 2:00 p.m. EDT for the east coast of North America
- 19:00 BST for Great Britain
- 8pm CEST for Western Europe/Paris
- 3am JST to Japan/Tokyo (on Sunday, 23 June)
Note that developer Epic Games said it will be released “shortly after” the above times – so be patient if it doesn’t appear right away. If you’d rather keep yourself busy while you wait, tuning in to the aforementioned concert might be a good way to pass the time.
What is Fortnite Reload?
Fortnite Reload is a new mode with a smaller map consisting of locations from the game’s early chapters – including Tilted Towers, Retail Row, and Pleasant Park, as well as several other locations yet to be confirmed.
The reduced land mass comes with a smaller player count – 40 players in each lobby – with each player automatically reviving until only one team remains. The time to revive starts at 30 seconds and can be sped up if your teammates manage to eliminate other players.
Fortnite Reload offers both Battle Royale and Zero Build options, but note that it’s squad-only. However, you do have the option to not fill your party if you prefer to take on groups of players with fewer than four players. (Good luck to all the solo players out there!)
While Fortnite Reboot focuses on locations and loot from the first few seasons, Victor’s Crowns – a feature introduced in Chapter 3 – will be awarded to victorious players from their previous match. There will also be a series of introductory quests that reward 20,000 XP each, and a Victory Royale Glider (the Rezzbrella) up for grabs if you emerge victorious.
