In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) the next season of the Battle Pass will start soon. Epic already has plans for Season 5. And beyond!
What is the current state of affairs? Fortnite: Battle Royale offers players new seasons of the Battle Pass all the time. Currently, Season 4 is running with the theme of superheroes and supervillains. But soon it will be over, and a new season will begin.
But when does Season 5 start and what are the plans from the developer Epic Games?
This is what Epic Games says about Fortnite Season 5: The Creative Director of Epic Games, Donald Mustard, has now confirmed at E3 that Season 5 of Fortnite is “on track” and will start in July.
Season 5 starts in July 2018
What do we know about Season 5? According to the in-game advertisement, the 5th Season of the Battle Pass is set to start on July 10, 2018. If that’s true, you have until July 9, 2018, to complete all stages of the 4th Battle Pass. After that, this will likely never be possible again. This also applies to the Blockbuster Challenges and the additional armor parts for the skins Carbide and Omega.
What is the theme of Season 5? Unfortunately, Epic Games has not yet revealed this. Fans are currently speculating about the following options:
- Escalation of the superhero vs. villain theme: After secret hideouts and clues have emerged, some players suspect that the conflict between heroes and villains will continue. However, it could all just have been a movie.
- Post-apocalypse: In one of the supervillain hideouts there is a missile. If it goes off, the whole map could turn into a type of post-apocalypse akin to Fallout.
- Dinos and giant monsters: In line with the new Jurassic Park, dinos or Godzilla monsters could also become a theme in the game. After all, giant footprints have appeared in the game.
Furthermore, it remains unclear what the mysterious meteorite and the bunker in the woods are about.
Epic already has plans up to Season 8!
Whatever comes in Season 5, Epic seems to be much further ahead. At E3, Epic CEO Donald Mustard revealed that Epic already has plans for the distant future. Concepts for Seasons 5, 6, 7, and even 8 are already in place. Fortnite certainly won’t get boring that quickly!
