When did Fortnite Season 4 end?
Fornite ran a countdown to show exactly how much time was left untill the end of season 4. Originally supposed to end on 9 July 2018, the season was pushed back by a few days to Wednesday 11 July 2018. It’s largely suspected that Epic Games do this to give players a few more extra days to unlock the Battle Pass content that will be unobtainable forever, the moment the season ends.
When did Fortnite Season 5 start?
Following some short downtime, Fornite Season 5 started the day after Season 4 ended. The servers came up on Thursday 12 July 2018 after a patch and some overnight downtime, and went live around 9am BST for those in the UK, and 4am ET/1am PT for our friends in the US.
What should I expect from Fortnite Season 5?
Speculation was rampant up to the run up of Season 5, with cracks appearing in the sky following an in-game missle launch at the start of July. The cracks were growing larger each day up to the start of Season 5, with players speculating that the missile launch tore a hole in time and space. This was supposed by sightings of buildings and props from the Fortnite game world appearing in real life, such as the Durr Burger mascot and the famous Llama. The launch of season 5 finally came, and includes the standard array of new skins and treats.
