The release of the next major Fortnite update is edging ever closer, and excitement for Chapter Five, season four, is rising. If you’re among those who can’t wait, we can tell you the exact start time and date.
Fortnite Chapter Five, season three brought plenty of content, including a Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration, and teases for the next season have begun. With the roadmap for 2024 leaking earlier this year, we have a pretty solid idea of what’s to come.
Marvel is taking center stage in Chapter Five, season four, bringing new skins, POIs, weapons, and more to the world of Fortnite. The big release is now right around the corner, and you can see exactly how long is left until the launch below.
When does the next Fortnite season start?
Fortnite revealed the end date of season three in the battle pass. As is customary in Fortnite for a major update, there will be some downtime before the launch of the new season on Friday, Aug. 16.
Fortnite’s Wrecked season will end at 11pm PT (Aug. 15)/1am CT/2am ET/7am BST/4pm AEST on the above date. The exact duration of the downtime will depend on any delays or errors.
We’ve set the countdown below for the time mentioned above, though it’s worth remembering this is when servers will go down and is not when you can start playing the new season. We’ll update this article accordingly if Epic announces any chances.
The new season of Fortnite will be Marvel-themed, featuring characters like Doctor Doom, Gwenpool, Mysterio, and more. This will be the second Marvel-themed season in the game since Chapter Two, season four, also known as Nexus War.
The end date for Fortnite Chapter Five, season four, is unknown, but the leaked roadmap suggests it will be in November. A shorter season then looks likely until Chapter Six begins in December.
