As per the usual maintenance period, this shouldn’t take that long (1-2 hours usually). If there are changes to the scheduled outages and whatnot, we’ll update the post to reflect it. 

For today’s patch, expect Goku & Co. to be ushered in, as we’re getting the Fortnite X Dragon Ball crossover per the announcement yesterday! Once the patch notes and datamined content are out, we’ll update the post to link to it, so stay tuned!
