What’s new in Fortnite?
Epic Games has now fully detailed Fortnite Shock ‘N Awesome. You can follow along with the season’s launch as part of TechRadar Gaming’s Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 live blog. I’ll be covering the game as it goes back online following downtime. You’ll get my early impressions of the new season, the new Battle Pass, and more.
Fortnite Chapter 6 is finally here, continuing with Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 which has switched up the map once again. There’s new weapons to try out, a superhero-themed Battle Pass, as well as updates centered around Superman himself.
We now know that the next season of Fortnite will be “Shock ‘N Awesome”. This will be a bug-extermination update, with Power Rangers and Halo Spartans. There’s new bug-themed skins, and a Megazord that can be unlocked later on in Chapter 6 Season 4.
It’s frequent updates like these that make Fortnite one of the best battle royale games around. Last season concluded June 7 with a climactic Star Wars live event, before Chapter 6 Season 3 went live across the world.
Here’s everything you need to know about the process of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 launching, when the next season starts, and what to expect from Fortnite in the future. Also, the latest on what’s been revealed about Power Rangers, and other new Battle Pass skins.
When does the current season of Fortnite end?
Fortnite Super will end on August 7, 2025. So far, no details have been shared on specific timings, though the in-game Battle Pass menu does count down to the update. This is when downtime is set to trigger:
- East Coast (US): August 7 at 1:30AM ET
- West Coast (US): August 6 at 10:30AM PT
- United Kingdom: August 7 at 6:30AM BST
- Central Europe: August 7 at 7:30AM CEST

When is the next season of Fortnite?
The next season of Fortnite has now been fully revealed, and it’ll launch following downtime on August 7, 2025. Hopefully, downtime is only 2-3 hours (based on the average times of Chapter 6 so far), but it’s worth noting that things have been known to slip slightly in the past.
What to expect from the next Fortnite season
