Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 has been incredibly enjoyable thus far. With the introduction of numerous exciting mechanics and perilous POIs, navigating through the game has been an absolute thrill. To the surprise of many players, Epic Games even reintroduced the coveted Mythic weapons that were thought to be gone forever.
However, as with all good things, this season will soon come to an end, making way for a new chapter, both figuratively and possibly literally. This guide aims to equip gamers with all the essential information regarding the conclusion of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 and the highly anticipated upcoming season of the game.
When Does Chapter 4 Season 4 End?
Chapter 4 Season 4 focused on infiltrating Kado Thorne's Strongholds, gathering Mythic weapons, successfully escaping, and pulling off the ultimate heist against all odds. Now, it's almost time for gamers to move on to the next chapter and leave behind the heists of this season.
The downtime for Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 is set to begin at 2 AM ET on Friday, November 3. This date has been officially confirmed and can be seen on the Battle Pass tab in the game. To ensure that players are not abruptly kicked out of a match, matchmaking will be disabled approximately 30 minutes before the downtime begins. This way, gamers will not lose any progress and will have the opportunity to complete their final game of the season.
When Does Chapter 5 Season 1 Start?
Reliable leakers like iFireMonkey and Shiina have indicated that Fortnite chapters will be divided into four seasons, each lasting one year.
With Chapter 3 having only four seasons, it is expected that once Chapter 4 Season 4 begins, fans will transition directly to Chapter 5 Season 1 instead of Chapter 4 Season 5. This change allows gamers to enjoy a fresh map every year, instead of being stuck with the same map for almost two years, as was the case in the early days.
The next Fortnite season is expected to commence between 6 AM and 10 AM ET on November 3, unless there is an unforeseen live event similar to the Black Hole event. Players will need to download a larger update patch upon its release. These major season renewals often result in a significant amount of time for the game to come back online, and if Fortnite is embarking on a new chapter, the server downtime may be even longer than usual.
Fortnite can be played on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
