It has been more than three months since Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 began, and while some players may still be enjoying what it has to offer, others may be ready for something new. Fortunately for those fans that are looking ahead, Season 3 is very close to its end, and Season 4 is just about to begin. This guide is here to provide more specific information about the start date of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4, and it will also touch on what else is known about it.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 Start Date
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is set to begin on Sunday, September 18 following a downtime that is scheduled to start at 2am EDT. This means that players have very little time left to finish up Fortnite's Season 3 Battle Pass and unlock Snap styles, as it will no longer be possible to perform those actions once Season 4 is underway. Fans may also want to take a moment to confirm that they have unlocked the Indiana Jones outfit and accessories, as the opportunity to do so will disappear.
With respect to other details about the forthcoming season, it appears that it will be called Paradise. Additionally, there have been teasers that point toward chrome having a major role to play, and it seems that the substance may attempt to "consume everything" during Season 4. While exactly how this will manifest in-game remains to be seen, the following image, which has been shared by developer Epic Games, hints at something quite nefarious.
This is not the only teaser image that has been revealed for the season, though, as there are others that depict different hands emerging from the chrome. It is believed that these hands represent several skins that will be available during Season 4, and players should not be surprised if Emo Meowscles and Spider-Gwen outfits show up at some point in the near future. Notably, players may receive more definitive confirmation of these cosmetics with the release of the official trailer for the season.
Finally, there has been some information released about competitive play in the new season. Among this information is confirmation that there will be an Arena Hype reset and the following Arena playlists: Battle Royale (Solo, Duos, Trios), Late Game (Solo, Trios). While this will be not be of interest to all Fortnite players, some fans will undoubtedly be excited by the competitive update.
Fortnite is available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
