Epic has revealed the start of the next season of Battle Pass content for its enormously popular battle royale shooter, Fortnite. It'll kick off this Thursday coming.

Making the announcement via a tweet last night, it follows an 'Unvaulting' event over the weekend that marked the end of Season 8 and saw map locations Retail Row and Tilted Towers decimated by a volcano.

There were some issues during the event however, and as a result Epic has pledged to give anyone who logged into the event during the weekend a free Arcana Glider to make good (anyone who previously purchased said glider will get their V-Bucks refunded to them). If you did miss said event, you can watch the replay as described in this tweet.

No word on what exactly Season 9 will entail other than a mysterious 'The future is unknown' tease, but we'll find out later this week. Fortnite is free to play and available on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
