ORIGINAL: Fortnite developer Epic Games is getting ready to release another new update.

Fortnite update 6.30 is expected to be released on either October 30 or October 31.

There's no word on downtime, although previous updates from season 6 have coincided with server maintenance.

As part of the early patch notes, players can expect Balloons to be added to the game during the next update.

That's according to the in-game notifications, which confirm that Balloons are coming to Fortnite soon.

"Inflate balloons to defy gravity!" reads an Epic post. "Add balloons to increase your altitude!"

It looks like Balloons will give players the opportunity to float above the battlefield.
