Fortnite Season 5 Start Time

With only a month until the end of Fortnite Last Resort, Epic Games teased the Fortnite Season 5 start time.

Plus, Fortnitemares 2023 is just around the corner as Epic Games prepares to release Halloween-inspired skins, quests, and weapons.

Despite the success of the latest season, fans are looking forward to Fortnite Season 5. The next major update promises a new Battle Pass, theme, and a rumored Racing Mode.

So, when does Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 start?
