Update 43.10 goes live on Thursday, November 12, 2026, and it brings new Captains, Sprites, loot, and a Festival season. Fortnite’s first major Treasure Hunters update is almost here. If you are looking for further details about Fortnite’s next update, you are at the right place. Here’s when servers go down, when they return in your region, and what to expect.
Fortnite v43.10 update is set to arrive on November 12, 2026. In line with the previous updates, the downtime is set to begin at 4 AM ET, and it is estimated to last about two hours. Servers are expected back at 6 AM ET for everyone. Epic is yet to confirm confirm the official timeline, so treat the following timings as estimates: US Pacific: 1 AM to 3 AM US Mountain: 2 AM to 4 AM US Central: 3 AM to 5 AM US Eastern: 4 AM to 6 AM Brazil (Brasília): 6 AM to 8 AM UK: 9 AM to 11 AM Central Europe: 10 AM to 12 PM India: 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM Japan and Korea: 6 PM to 8 PM Sydney and Melbourne: 8 PM to 10 PM New Zealand: 10 PM to 12 PM Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto arrive on the island this week as the new Captains. There are currently 34 in the game, and the Navigator’s Nosedive Umbrella unlocks once you master 40. Three weapons are expected to be joining the loot pool: Lever Action Shotgun Frenzy Auto Shotgun Flapjack Rifle If they don’t show up with 43.10, they’re expected before the mini-season ends. Kasane Teto is the headline collaboration for Fortnite Festival Season 16, which also launches with this update. This is the penultimate update for the mini-season, which ends on December 5, 2026. That leaves one more update after 43.10, likely later in November, before Chapter 7 wraps up with its live event.
Epic hasn’t revealed its location yet. Rubber Resort will get a makeover to match their colors. A new Map Fragment also becomes available this weekend, during the Treasure Hours event. More Sprites are on the way. That means the update must add at least six more. Expect them to follow the pirate theme. Mastering just seven Sprites makes you eligible for the Sprite Mastery Strongbox. Either way, it should give players more variety in close-range fights.
