Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 has been great fun so far. Epic Games added tons of new mechanics and dangerous POIs that have been a blast to navigate through, and it even brought back Mythic weapons that many players never expected to lay their eyes on ever again.
Every Season Of Fortnite, Ranked
Fortnite is one of the most popular games and part of this is due to the game reinvigorating itself with season updates.
Despite this season's success, soon it will be time to say goodbye in order to start a new chapter, perhaps literally. This guide will provide gamers with all the information they need to know about the end of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 as well as the game's upcoming season.
When Does Chapter 4 Season 4 End?
Chapter 4 Season 4 was all about breaking into Kado Thorne's Strongholds using the right tools, collecting Mythic weapons, making it out successfully, and completing the perfect heist against all odds. Now, it's nearly time for gamers to move on to the next chapter of the game and leave this season's heists behind.
Downtime for Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 is scheduled to start at 2 AM ET on Friday, November 3. The date has already been confirmed, and it is displayed in-game on the Battle Pass tab. To prevent players from being kicked out of a match mid-game, matchmaking will be disabled roughly 30 minutes before downtime starts; this way gamers won't lose any progress and everyone will get to finish their last game of the season.
When Does Chapter 5 Season 1 Start?
Various reliable leakers, such as iFireMonkey and Shiina, have pointed in the direction of Fortnite chapters being divided into four seasons and only lasting one year.
Chapter 3 only had a total of four seasons, and it is likely that once Chapter 4 Season 4 starts, fans will drop into Chapter 5 Season 1 instead of Chapter 4 Season 5. This way, gamers would be able to experience a new map on a yearly basis rather than having to play the same map for nearly two years like in the early days.
Regardless, unless there is an unexpected Fortnite live event, like the Black Hole event, players can expect the next Fortnite season to start between 6 AM and 10 AM ET on November 3. Gamers will have to install a bigger update patch once it's available. The game tends to take a while to get back online during these major season renewal events, and if Fortnite truly enters a new chapter, it might take even longer than usual for the servers to go up.
Fortnite is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
