The release date of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 might be closer than you think! Epic Games has only one more major update in the current season. This update will likely contain a lot of information regarding the next season, including potential skins and items. Furthermore, it may also include files regarding a potential season-ending event.
In this article, we will reveal the release date of the next Fortnite season in every major region. We’ll also take a look at the potential release time and other important information you should know.
When will Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 come out?
The current Fortnite season ends on August 16 at 2 AM Eastern Time. Right after it ends, we expect Epic Games to release a new season. Unfortunately, the season won’t be playable right away due to server downtime. If everything goes according to plan, servers shouldn’t be down for more than four hours, so the new season should be available around 6 AM ET.

It’s important to note that Epic could change the release date and time of the next Fortnite season. This happened a few times in the past, although not in recent history. Fortnite could face huge development delays due to recent strikes in the industry, although it shouldn’t affect the release of Season 4.
To check the ending date of the current season and the release date of the next one, open the Battle Pass page.
Once Season 3 ends, the update for the next one should come out right away. Due to this, please keep in mind that the new season will be released on Thursday night in the Pacific Time Zone. European and African players will get it early Friday, while players from Asia and Oceania will get an update around noon on Friday.
The first Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 skin has already been leaked, as well as a new Marvel character. According to the leaked roadmap, the next season will have a Marvel theme. Due to this, we expect more Mythic abilities and a unique Battle Pass. Map changes haven’t been leaked yet, although it’s safe to say that Epic will release at least two new named locations and many new landmarks.
With the next Fortnite season just weeks away, we’re expecting tons of leaks and teasers to start popping up really soon. The last Season 3 update on August 6 will include some files hinting at what’s to come in the new season. Plus, Epic is probably going to start hyping up Season 4 right after that final update drops.
