Fortnite Season 4 is set to kick off on August 7, 2025. The upcoming season will be called Shock ‘N Awesome, centered around a bug invasion theme that influences the Battle Pass content. This theme aligns with prior leaks suggesting an alien invasion, so fans shouldn’t be surprised if extraterrestrial elements make an appearance.
Epic continues to update and improve Fortnite, and more changes are expected during this season and beyond. If you’re curious about what might come next in Chapter 6, Season 4, here’s everything known so far.
The official launch date has been confirmed for August 7, 2025, based on multiple announcements from the Fortnite team. This matches the end date for the current Battle Pass, which will wrap up on August 7 at 1:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The season will begin immediately after the current season ends, following the usual downtime.
Huge changes are anticipated for Season 4, especially with the bug invasion theme. Expect to face off against various insect enemies across the island. To spice things up, crossover characters like the UNSC Spartans from Halo and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will join the fight — including a likely appearance by the giant Megazord.
This bug invasion theme is similar to the Chapter 2 Season 7 Invasion from 2021. That season ended with a major live event called Operation: Sky Fire, followed by hours of server downtime. Rumors suggest Season 4 might also conclude with a live event, but hopefully without such a lengthy server outage afterward.
Leaked info points to a longer season, possibly lasting until late October, with a Halloween-themed event called Fortnitemares happening mid-season. After the season ends around October 31, a mini-season featuring The Simpsons is expected to launch on November 1, previewing a smaller chapter before the big one kicks off in December.
More details will emerge as the launch approaches, with game updates revealing additional content.
The Battle Pass for Season 4 will cost around 1,000 V-Bucks, which is approximately $8.99 or £6.99 in real money. While Fortnite is free, buying the Battle Pass grants extra rewards and skins. Players can also upgrade early by purchasing the Battle Bundle for 2,800 V-Bucks—roughly $22.99 or £17.49—and instantly unlock Tier 25. Subscribing to Fortnite Crew, costing about $11.99 or £9.99 per month, provides the Battle Pass, bonus V-Bucks, and exclusive rewards.
For those avoiding spending money, earning free V-Bucks through gameplay is an option—just steer clear of scams. Keep in mind, 1,000 V-Bucks are enough to unlock the Battle Pass once the new season arrives.
That’s everything currently confirmed about Fortnite Season 4 in Chapter 6. Stay tuned for more updates as the season gets closer!
