Epic Games just released Fortnite Chapter 7. There's a whole new Battle Pass, a new map, and several changes to the core mechanics of Battle Royale. The Battle Bus is gone, and players now surf into each game. There's also tie-ins for Kill Bill, and Back to the Future.
Fortnite's latest update is finally here, continuing with Fortnite Pacific Break which switches up the map once again. There's new weapons to try out, a Kill Bill-themed Battle Pass, as well as updates to everything from reviving and rebooting, to how players first drop into the map at the start of a match.
Here's everything you need to know about the process of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 ending, when the next season starts, and what to expect from Fortnite in the future. Also, the latest on what's been revealed about future updates, including possible Harry Potter collaborations, and more.
When does the current season of Fortnite end?
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 will end on March 4, 2026. No specifics have been revealed in terms of timings, so stay tuned for an update to this section.
When is the next season of Fortnite?
The next season of Fortnite will launch following downtime on March 4, 2026. Unfortunately, we don't know what time this will be at, and how long downtime will last. Generally, seasonal switchovers have taken 2-3 hours in the past.
What to expect from the next Fortnite season
The next season of Fortnite is yet to be announced fully, but we expect it to follow the Hollywood theme of the chapter so far. This December will see the launch of Winterfest 2025, adding Holiday-themed skins to the game. For now, we'll have to wait until next year for info on Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2.
Fortnite latest map changes
Fortnite has a completely new map that launched alongside the new season. It's a fresh Island, with all new POIs, and is a bit smaller than the last map. The image above shows you where all of the major locations are, including Sandy Strip, Fore Fields, and Bumpy Bay.
The biggest change for the new map is that players no longer dive out of the Battle Bus at the start of each match. Instead, you now surf along a huge wave, before launching into the air to land at a nearby location.
