One more update is set to arrive before the end of the current Fortnite Simpsons mini-season, and it’s set to roll out an army of Homer clones.

Fortnite’s Simpsons mini-season is in full swing, and even though more collabs are on their way in the form of the new F1 jumpsuit skins and incoming Stranger Things cosmetics, there’s clearly more to come to the game before this chapter concludes. The game has been getting on with plenty, not only shrinking the game’s lobby size to accomodate for its slightly smaller island, but adding heaps of new items and a new bus driver has helped to make this edition of the game feel incredibly fresh.

A new Fortnite update is on the way, and there’s a good chance that it’s the last before the incoming chapter changeover, set to overhaul the entire game in a pretty big way (even if we don’t know an awful lot about what’s coming yet). We’re set to get a live event to send it off, though, and if the teasers that Fortnite has been throwing out about the potential return of The Seven, led by Dwayne Johnson and Brie Larson, then we could be in for a real treat in the major finale, especially for those who have been paying close attention to the Fortnite story. That’s right, there’s an actual narrative happening too.

We need to get through the update to see it, though – so when precisely can we expect it? Here’s the launch time for the next Fortnite update.

When is the next Fortnite update?

The next Fortnite update is set to appear at 1am PST / 4am EST / 9am GMT on Wednesday, November 19. We know this because it is the time that updates always go live for Fortnite, and the date has been revealed by a post from @FortniteStatus, confirming that the update had been delayed by a day.

We can anticipate that the downtime will last between one-and-a-half and two hours, much like previous updates, so we can expect that the game will be live once again at 3am PST / 6am EST / 11am GMT.

What’s coming in the next Fortnite update?

Here’s what we can expect in the incoming Fortnite update, according to a batch of leakers:

• The necessary files for the incoming Chapter finale event
• The addition of the Simsons Makeup Shotgun (via @Hypex)
• A new episode of The Simpsons’ crossover shorts
• The arrival of the Homer clones, after real-life Homers have been unleashed on LA (via @DavidTheRune)
• The new F1 and Stranger Things cosmetics

The game has kept things pretty firmly under wraps, but all things considered, this season is heading towards its close already, so we can expect a pretty hefty onslaught of content before we say goodbye to Springfield.
