Fortnite Season 5 Official Start Date Announced
Talking to fans on Reddit, Epic Games has revealed that the Season 5 of Fortnite will begin on July 12th at 4am EDT (or 9am BST). They didn’t announced what content this new season will bring just yet, but the transition from Season 3 to 4 saw the demolition of a major part of the game’s map, as well as an entirely new focus and theme for cosmetic upgrades.
Seasons play a crucial part of Fortnite’s Battle Royale structure, with its paid content – Battle Passes – being valid for the duration of one season. If you haven’t yet bought yourself a Battle Pass, waiting until the start of this new season might be the smart move – this way, you’ll be able to start working towards unlocking lots of juicy cosmetic items from day one, working your way up to the top tiers for rare content with plenty of time to do so.
Epic Games also announced that they will be running a +100% match XP weekend starting June 29th at 4am EDT (9am BST) and ending on July 2nd at 3am EDT (8am BST), helping those who are working towards rewards from their Season 4 Battle Pass to get those last few rewards.
