If you’ve completed the battle pass and grown tired of the current theme, you may be wondering - when is the next Fortnite season, and when does Chapter 5 Season 3 end? Fortunately, we have the information you need so you can prepare your Fortnite account to play for the upcoming seasonal change.
If you’re bored of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 battle pass, and you’re hoping to see some major map changes in the new Fortnite season coming up, here’s when you can expect the current season to conclude, as Epic Games ushers in the anticipated Chapter 5 Season 4.
When does the next Fortnite season start?
The next Fortnite season begins on Friday, August 16, 2024, according to the in-game battle pass countdown. This is also the date that the current season, Chapter 5 Season 3, concludes, as the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 release date lands on this day.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is lasting just under three months, and if it seems to be a little longer than most seasons, that’s because it is. Around the Summer and during the Holidays, Epic Games employees take a well-deserved break, slightly extending the season to account for any updates and testing ahead of the next season.
However, while the wait may seem a bit longer this time, that’s because it could be a major update. According to a leaked roadmap, the next season is the long-awaited return of a Marvel-centric season, the first and most recent one being Chapter 2 Season 4: Nexus War. From the leaked image, it appears that Doctor Doom will take a central role in the upcoming season’s story.
That’s everything you need to know about when the next Fortnite season starts. If you’re hoping to complete the current battle pass ahead of the Chapter 5 Season 3 end date, you can always complete the Fortnite weekly quests or opt to skip tiers using your valuable V-Bucks.
