Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 estimated release date

We currently estimate that Chapter 6 Season 1 will begin around Sunday 1st December, however this is just a guess currently and nothing official has been said about this date.

Our estimate comes from the fact that the Chapter 2 Remix Finale event begins on Saturday 30th November and this is a live event which typically does lead straight into the next season/chapter release

Also, reliable leaker HYPEX on X recently posted a countdown that the new chapter was 'two weeks away' and based on the date that was posted, it again suggests it will begin on Sunday 1st December.

Again, Epic Games hasn't confirmed this and the date above is currently speculation based on in-game events and leaks. We will update this section once we learn more.

Everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

Here is everything we know so far about Fortnite Chapter 6 Season one. It's important to note that this section is just speculation at the moment, Epic Games are yet to officially reveal anything about the upcoming season.

Theme

Leaker Wensoing on X posted that Chapter 6 could be themed around Japanese Mythology.

New Biomes

Also, leaker Wensoing on X posted that the possible new biomes could be:

• 'Shrine'
• Rivers
• Plains
• Farmland
• Forest

Augments Return

Leaker Wensoing on X posted that augments may be making a return in the new chapter, but they won't be exactly the same as the ones we so fondly remember.

Animals?

According to leaker Wensoing on X there will be some new furry friends on the chapter 6 map described as 'cat-like' animals. They may be called Sprites and come in three types (water, air and basic).

The function of these critters is still unclear, but it's speculated they're something to do with the Shrine area on the map.

Winterfest 2024

Reliable leaker ShiinaBR on X posted that Fortnite is currently playtesting something that could be the Winterfest Update for 2024 - they speculated that this event could start on two dates, either Tuesday 10th December or a week later on Tuesday 17th December.

Either way, those dates mean that it will be part of Chapter 6 Season one if true - but again this is speculation at the moment.

That's all for now - we'll update this page as we learn more about Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1!
