Fortnite’s latest season, Chapter 6, Season 4, “Shock and Awesome,” has been met with skepticism due to its eclectic mix of collaborations and themes. The new season features a battle between zombies, mercenaries, and an invasion of insects, making it the first time Fortnite has tackled bugs as a threat.
The season is set to begin on Thursday, August 7, and will be available in various regions at different times. For North America (West Coast), the expected downtime is between 3 AM and 8 AM PDT, while for East Coasts, it’s between 6 AM and 11 AM EDT. Other regions include Brazil (7 AM to 12 PM BRT), the UK (11 AM to 4 PM BST), Western Europe (1 PM to 5 PM CEST), Japan (7 PM to 12 PM JST), Australia (8 PM to 1 AM AEST).
The season has already shown off new art and trailers, revealing that the new Halo Spartans will be rewards for reaching level 100, while the Green Ranger might also be available. The core five Power Rangers will be sold in the store later, along with the iconic Megazord. However, fans are hoping for potential crossovers with Solo Leveling or Helldivers.
While opinions about the season vary, it’s clear that Fortnite is pushing boundaries and trying new things. As the release approaches, it’s difficult to predict whether this will be a successful or not-so-successful season. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
