Everyone wants to know when Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is set to release, and by everyone, I mean people who play Fortnite. This past Vibin' season has been a pretty chill time, with some fun crossovers withDragon Balland more recently withDestiny 2. But with only a little while left until the new season, players are wondering what’s in store.
Fortnite “Paradise” is the official name for Season 4, but from what we’ve seen it’s going to be anything but that. Teasers feature characters being swallowed up by some kind of metallic-looking goo, while the official Fortnite Twitter account is posting some slightlyunnerving stuff. Either way, here’s everything we know about Fortnite Paradise, what’s likely on the way, and when Season 4 is expected to release.
What is the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 release date?
The Fortnite Season 4 release date isSeptember 18. This was originally the speculated release since it’s when the current battle pass concludes, but it was later confirmed by theFortnite Paradise website, which reveals the name of the new season as well as the date it’s set to arrive.
Epic Games also released anofficial postsaying what you should finish before the new season begins, and also states that the official downtime should start around 2am ET.
Fortnite Paradise: What to expect in Season 4
Official details have been relatively thin for Season 4. TheFortnite Paradise websitewas the first proper teaser, giving us a name and the release date. Another teaser, shared byiFireMonkey, comes in the form of a promo image that was added to the eShop version of Fortnite,showing a hand reaching out of some kind of metallic liquid. iFireMonkey confirms below the initial tweet that the hand seems to belong to a remixed version of the character The Paradigm—one of The Seven whose identities have largely remained a mystery.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson wasrevealed as the first of the Seven, The Foundation, and it’s been rumoured thatBrie Larson is likely to appear as The Paradigm, lending her likeness and voice to the character in much the same way. Considering this season is also called Paradise, the character’s appearance is likely. The Fortnite Twitter account has also been sharing some cryptic teasers, which seem to confirm that we’re in for a spooky time in season 4.

In terms of new skins,according to multiple leakers, Spider-Gwen is coming to the Season 4 battle pass. It’d make sense considering the recent Marvel x Fortnite: Zero War comic book series and the continuing crossovers that they are working on together. Apparently, Miles Morales will also be available later in the season. Hopefully, he brings his little orange cat buddy with him.

Finally, there are rumours that aLady Gaga in-game concertis on the way. The speculation started a long while back due to leaked court documents thatrevealed Ariana Grande, Naruto, and Lady Gaga were coming to the game. The rumour has resurfaced due to the leak of a new synced emote featuring her song Poker Face being added in a future patch. Lady Gaga was featured as part of the Rainbow Royale LGBTQIA+ event, with her songs playing on in-game radios. A future concert might arrive in Season 4, but there’s no way to be certain right now.
