Guide by Matthew Reynolds Managing Editor Published on 16 Sep 2022 Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 arrives this weekend, and thanks to some teases by developer Epic Games, we had a decent idea of what to expect in terms of theme and character cameos. In recent weeks of Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, we've seen characters disappearing - and it appears to be tying into the new Paradise theme which, unfortunately, appears more sinister than it sounds. Here's when Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 starts and what we expect to appear. On this page: Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 release time What can we expect from Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 Watch on YouTube This season, the IO and the Seven have been engaged in all-out war. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 release time Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 has a release date of Sunday, 18th September. Epic has confirmed downtime will begin at around 2am ET. Factor in a couple of hours of downtime which comes with each major new update, expect the launch to be around the following times: UK: 9am (BST) Europe: 10am (CEST) East Coast US: 4am (EDT) West Coast US: 1am (PDT) Note that downtime could be longer; new seasons are major updates and setbacks can happen. If you are in the Americas, we recommend waiting until the morning before you play to be safe - whereas those in Europe should be playing by mid-morning. Before then, make sure you unlock any remaining Battle Pass rewards you want, unlock the Indiana Jones skin (give yourself plenty of time to solve the secret door past the main chamber in Shuffled Shrines puzzle!) and be sure to spend those gold bars. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is here and with it comes a new Battle Pass! This season has introduced EvoChrome weapons, Chrome Splash locations and the ability to phase through walls. There are also new vault locations and map changes. The Paradise quests are this season's storyline challenges, including destorying Chrome objects to collect Chrome anomalies. Make sure to check out the upcoming The Herald skin too! Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn the Victory Umbrella and Victory Crowns. What can we expect from Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 Unlike last season, we have some specifics about what to expect from Chapter 3 Season 4 - though a lot of mystery remains, thanks to some cryptic but interlinked teases over the last couple of weeks. First, there's the theme - Paradise. This theme is more sinister than it sounds, however - with the reveal accompanied by three viral clips where, despite their rosy starts, seem them quickly consumed by a metal-like substance. It consumes everything. #FortniteParadiseVideo was spotted on tiktok, thanks @FNinfluencer for the video file pic.twitter.com/VJ7fleL5tI- iFireMonkey (@iFireMonkey) September 9, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
