A new seasonal shift is set to take place in Fortnite, bringing an end to the current slew of content, with the release date for Chapter 7 Season 4 now officially confirmed.
Epic Games‘ seasonal shift has helped keep Fortnite among the most popular games, and the latest shift is now right around the corner, with huge collabs expected.
If you can’t wait for Chapter 7 Season 4 to kick off in Fortnite, Insider Gaming has all the details on exactly how much longer you need to wait.
When Does Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Start?
Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, officially called Override, will kick off on Thursday, August 20.
After several months in the current season, Fortnite is transitioning into the next slew of content, which is set to be the last full-length season of the chapter.
