Fortnite v14.50 update patch notes: Fortnite x Disney collab, possible season delay, Galactus event countdown, and more

The previous Fortnite update (v14.40) brought along tons of spine-tingling goodness. And now, the Fortnitemares event, which commenced back then, has now officially come to an end with the new Fortnite v14.50 update.

With the absence of the Halloween events, this game will now go back to the original storyline of Season 4. The recent patch will be the second-last, followed by v14.60, after which Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4 will come to an end.

As we move towards the end of the current season, players are hyped for the arrival of Galactus on the map and the epic live event that should come with him.

Moreover, with the Christmas season on the horizon, players should expect some frosty changes in this title.

As previously mentioned, the Fortnite v14.50 update is the second-last for Season 4, which could mean that the event files we’ve spotted may belong to the end-of-season ‘Galactus’ showdown event.

While we are on the topic, another data leaker recently discovered that Galactus was only updated in the sky during the new update, and here is an image of how it looks post-patch 14.50.

Earlier, gamers were expecting to see the whole live event with jet packs. However, we have the new Iron Man-made jetpacks in this update. At the same time, it could just be another invention from Tony Stark. It remains to be seen if they will allow players to watch the Season 4 live event in the game.
