Is the update live now or what is the status?

This update is scheduled to happen today or is it going to happen on the 25th?

I asked for clarification on that and got “it’s a surprise.” - https://twitter.com/NitroGlitter/status/1054638830152634370 so I’m not really sure. But there is a livestream from Playground today at the usual content release time of 10am Pacific on Redirecting...

This casual, unprofessional attitude (just tweeting “surprise”) really does show through the whole design of FH 4.

Near no one likes the cosmetic aspect of this game, so lets double down on it.
Don’t go too deep in the sand, wouldn’t want your head to come out in Australia.

Get the tissue ready, there’s no mention of it.

17

The update is on the 25th

18

Did you read the patch notes? Patch notes say the update is today, graphic shows the 25th. It is possible they got it ready early and will release it today or they may release it on the 25th, they haven’t confirmed or denied either way.

Yeah, this is definitely seems logical when you call the patch notes “October 23rd”)

If it’s not today then we are going to lose another set of rewards for the seasonal championships. Thanks to Playground’s fast reaction times.
