It’s official, Fortnite Chapter 6 season 3 is over, and Chapter 6 season 4 is on the verge of starting right after servers come back online. That’s going to be a bit of a wait, but depending on when you read this, it’s possible you may have woken up in the morning and can download and play. But you really should probably go to work or school. Or just call in sick.
With server downtime starting in the middle of the night EDT time, and running about 2-6 hours on average, we can estimate when Fortnite season 4 will launch, and you can see those ranges below:
- 3 AM – 8 AM PDT – North America, West Coast
- 6 AM – 11 AM EDT – North America, East Coast
- 7 AM – 12 AM BRT – Brazil
- 11 AM – 4 PM BST – United Kingdom
- 1 PM – 5 PM CEST – Western Europe
- 7 PM – 12 PM – Japan
- 8 PM – 1 AM – Australia
Once you start heading over the Atlantic and get to the UK and beyond, we’re no longer talking about an early morning play sessions, but rather the afternoon or evening.
Fortnite has unloaded a whole bunch of information about its “Shock and Awesome” season which will feature new Halo skins, free for everyone if you hit rank 100 (where you do not actually need to buy the battle pass). We have six colors of Power Rangers. We have Megazord. And we have a bunch of other crossovers that have been rumored or are totally secret so far. But it’s a long season, so we’ll see who Epic adds to its multiverse down the road here.
Fortnite Chapter 6 season 4 will have us dealing with a bug invasion that was sparked by the events of the season 3 finale, and it’s going to be a lot of fighting NPC insects on the map. Fortunately we have new wild weapons like the airstrike gun and a triple barrel gatling gun to help thin the ranks of the bug invaders. So, Helldivers skins? Starship Troopers skins? I guess the Flood are almost bugs so that connects to Halo. Power Rangers uh, have fought monster bugs…sometimes? Sure why not.
See you in a few hours when servers are back online.
