It's time to save the world, with leaks, rumours and even Fortnite OG dropping hints about the content for the upcoming season.
Chapter 6 Season 4 is set to start this weekend, following the five-week long mini season, and climactic Death Star Sabotage live event. It's been one of the shortest Fortnite seasons since the game launched in 2019, with a weekly update ushering the narrative along before we bid a final farewell to the Force. Well, until next year's annual crossover.
While hasn't shared its plans for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, and we're expecting to see a trailer during SGF 2025 on Friday, June 6 we do have some idea as to what to expect thanks to leaker @Hypex who shared that theme of the next season of Fortnite is likely superheros, based on datamining and a recent skins survey.

As for in-game clues, the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start date lines up with the start of Fortnite OG Chapter 4. If you weren't around for the original Chapter 1 Season 4 (that the upcoming Fortnite OG chapter is drawing from), it was called 'Brace for Impact' and the theme was – you guessed it – superheroes.
So there might be some connection between the two seasons, whether it's just thematic, or something more.
As for the leaks, it seems like Hero-themed Boons might be on the way, as well as a possible collab that ties into the upcoming Superman film that releases on July 11, 2025.
Our other favourite Twitter leaker, @ShiinaBR seemingly confirmed the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 superhero-theme along with fellow leaker @Wensoing who tweeted that we can anticipate hero abilities to boot.
So when does the superhero content arrive? Here's what you need to know.
When does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 start?Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 is set to start on Saturday, June 7. As for the exact time, Epic hasn't shared that just yet, but it'll likely be around 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT on Saturday, which is 12am BST on Sunday, June 8 in the UK.
We expect the Fortnite Death Star Sabotage live event to last for around 15-20 mins. And looking at the last couple of downtimes for Chapter 6, we estimate it'll be around five hours. Although Epic has had the game up and running earlier than its anticipated downtime before, so we could be back on the Island sooner than that.
