Epic Games has been working on Fortnite seemingly on a near-consistent basis, releasing almost six full seasons of content all in the same year, but now things will stay the same for a little while as Epic Games are taking a holiday.
The company announced on its Life at Epic Twitter account that the entire office will be on holiday until the start of the new year, officially capping off their 2018.

There wasn’t any indication if Epic Games had scheduled updates to roll out as they took their holiday leave, but it’s not likely since updates means having at least some people in the office to monitor for any bugs.

The announcement was met with resounding congratulatory well wishes from the majority of fans, while there was a minority of people concerned about the lack of updates for the next couple of weeks.
Nevertheless, it looks like there won’t be much news from the developer until the new year rings in.
