DexertoFortnite’s next v34.30 update is just around the corner, and it’s going to bring a new Festival season, alongside other content to the game.
Fortnite is known to roll out sizeable content updates throughout every given season. In Chapter 6, Season 2 alone, devs have added new Mortal Kombat mythics, POIs, and a plethora of different collabs, among other exciting additions.
There have also been several free rewards distributed throughout this season, such as the free Dupli-Kate skin and Twitch Drops, allowing you to earn Mortal Kombat freebies.
While the next 34.30 update in Chapter 6 Season 2 isn’t live yet at the time of writing, there are already several exciting additions players can expect to arrive in the game soon. We’ve compiled all of them below.
Fortnite update v34.30 downtime details
Fortnite’s 34.30 update dropped on April 8, 2025, at 2.30 am PDT.
As per usual, matchmaking ended before maintenance and the servers went back up 3:30 am PDT.
You weren’t able to launch and play the game during this time. However, you’d still be able to download the update while you waited.
Festival Season 8 launches
Hatsune Miku‘s Festival season is over. As confirmed by the official Festival account on X, Sabrina Carpenter is the headliner of Fortnite Festival Season 8.
A new season means that there’ll be a new Festival Battle Pass filled with new cosmetics, including instruments, emotes, Jam Tracks, and others. It’s worth noting that you’ll instantly get access to the majority of these rewards if you’re subscribed to Fortnite Crew when the season goes live.
Sabrina Carpenter skins
Sabrina Carpenter is receiving two different skins. One is the one you’ll be able to unlock in the Festival Pass, while the other is a separate outfit that will be sold in the Item Shop.
As of April 8, you can purchase the A Sweet Little Bundle for 2,800, which comes with the following:
- Tour-Ready Sabrina Carpenter skin (1,500 V-Bucks)
- SC Heart Purse Backling (400 V-Bucks)
- Taste emote (500 V-Bucks)
- Please, Please, Please emote (500-V Bucks)
- Cute Cutout Glider (600)
- Espresso Track (500 V-Bucks)
But there’s more Sabrina stuff to get from the Item Shop outside of the bundle, including the Feather Track, Caffeinated Emote, Sonic Surfer emote, and Please, Please, Please track – they all cost 500 V-Bucks each.
Epic has yet to reveal her in-game look as of this writing. However, after the teaser was released, some fans on social media are convinced one of it is going to be her Light Blue dress. We’ll be sure to keep this section updated once there’s more official information.
Adventure Time collab
Though plenty of leaked collabs exist, well-known leaker ShiinaBR claimed that this upcoming update would bring Adventure Time assets to the game. Some of the characters that will be getting their own skins are Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline.
These skins will have a LEGO Variant and will made available within the next 15 days, according to HYPEX.
Assuming this is accurate, it’s possible that these would come with additional cosmetics based on the popular cartoon.
New Ballistic map
Ballistic, a first-person game mode separate from the Battle Royale experience, received a new map alongside this update called Hammer Fall. Unlike Skyline, this map features a “medieval flavor” with castles you can use to your advantage as you play corners and take cover.
According to Epic in a blog post, this is a “shell map”, meaning it arrives in the game mode “without environmental art.” They explained that this would allow them to change the layout quickly based on players’ feedback.
Meanwhile, the “environmental details and finishing touches” will come later once they test how the games “flow and play out” on the map.
That’s everything we know about Fortnite’s 34.30 update and all the new content. While here, check out the best weapons and medallions and how to find the secret vault.
