Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 is almost here, and it’s set to be a huge shakeup for the island.

Instead of more superheroes, this time it’s all about a military force going up against a full-blown bug invasion. With major crossovers like Halo Spartans, futuristic new weapons, and corrupted map changes, the new season delivers a fresh theme and gameplay direction.

Here’s everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, including its release date, map changes, new weapons, and all the official teasers so far.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 launches on August 7, 2025.

Epic’s teaser schedule and in-game countdowns suggest a global rollout between August 7 and 8 depending on region and downtime length.
