Fortnite has just announced a new blast-from-the-past mode that sounds perfectly tailored to make you feel simultaneously nostalgic and hip. The latest rollout features beloved spots like Tilted Towers and Risky Reels paired with tried-and-true weaponry. Separately, Fortnite’s Chapter 5, Season 3—aptly named Wrecked—transforms the whimsical island into a madcap, sandy wasteland dominated by new bosses and rideable mythic vehicles that Mad Max would envy.
As of the last update, mark your calendars for August 16, 2024, when Chapter 5, Season 3 wraps up. The following season is set to launch the same day, continuity gods willing, following a downtime that could last anywhere from a few hours to several days, because in Fortnite time, uncertainty is the only certainty. Despite this, Epic Games hasn’t spilled much on what the next season entails, staying true to their style of keeping players on their toes until the very last minute.
Speculating about Season 4 is a bit like trying to predict the weather in Fortnite—a fool’s errand—but it’s bound to be filled with unexpected twists, secret skins, and new mind-boggling mechanics that will have players and forums buzzing. Epic Games enjoys keeping its cards close to its chest, teasing fans with snippets of information only as the launch date draws near. Stay tuned, eager players, for this game loves to surprise.
**Hot Take**
While waiting for Fortnite’s new season revelations is more painful than stepping on a Lego fortress barefoot, it’s all part of the charm. Will Epic keep up the sandy apocalypse vibe, or pivot to underwater utopia with mermaid warriors? Either way, get ready to drop back into the action—or the water. Whichever comes first.
