As reported by Dexerto, Fortnite's Version 33.20 for Chapter 6 Season 1 is slated for release on January 14, 2024. While an official start time hasn't been disclosed, Epic Games typically initiates server downtime at 4 AM PT, 7 AM ET, and 12 PM GMT to prepare for the update.

The forthcoming update will heavily feature content inspired by the Monsterverse, as evidenced by a trailer showcasing a giant-sized Godzilla rampaging through the Fortnite world.
