What’s new in Fortnite?
Epic Games ran a Fortnite live event over the weekend (August 2), which saw Daigo destroy Demon’s Domain by summoning a huge kraken. Players had to work together to take the creature down, before Superman swooped in to save the day. We’re now just days away from the launch of a new season, so hopefully we’ll be hearing more about what’s next very soon indeed.
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
- Australia (Sydney): August 7 at 3:30PM AEST
- Japan (Tokyo): August 7 at 2:30PM JST
When is the next season of Fortnite?
The next season of Fortnite has yet to be fully revealed, but 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
Epic Games has not fully revealed what’s in store for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, but we do know that it’s called “Shock ‘N Awesome”, and that the Power Rangers are the main tie-in. This will be a Bad Bugs vs. Power Rangers update, with bug enemies and POIs, as well as insect-themed Battle Pass content. You can view the live action trailer below:

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 map changes
Here’s the full map for Fortnite Super. As you can see in the image above, there’s still some Star Wars locations like Outpost Enclave, First Order Base, and Resistance Base. The new locations are Supernova Academy, Utopia City, and Demon’s Domain. Sprites have been turned into mascots, but work the same way as before, with different abilities like laser-vision.
