Fortnite Season 4 will be released in less than 24 hours. Epic Games has confirmed its release date and start time, making players excited about the new content. In addition, Epic has also revealed many new additions that will come with the new season.

The season will be released on Friday at 2am Eastern Time. After Fortnite downtime, which will likely last for a few hours, players will be able to play the game and enjoy all the new content.

Here are the early patch notes for the upcoming Fortnite season.

New Fortnite season will bring Battle Pass with many amazing skins

Epic Games has revealed half of the upcoming Battle Pass skins so far. Once again, the Battle Pass will include many cosmetics, as well as V-Bucks. Here are the skins that have been revealed so far:

  • Female agent
  • Wildcard-like outfit
  • Male with tattoos
  • Buffed Fishstick
  • Khaby Lame

Khaby Lame will likely be a secret skin in the Fortnite Chapter 4 – Season 4 Battle Pass. However, this hasn’t been confirmed by Epic Games yet.

In addition to this, many new Fortnite survey skins have been recently revealed. While their release date hasn’t been revealed yet, there’s a good chance that a few of them will come out to the Item Shop during Season 4.

Season 4 will have numerous gameplay and map changes

The jungle biome was released for the current Fortnite season, but now it’s time for something new. Considering that the medieval and snow biomes have been in Fortnite Battle Royale since December 2022, they might be replaced in Season 4.

Several map changes have already been revealed, but no one knows where exactly these new locations will be. Epic Games will release three new named locations in the next Fortnite season, and here is what they are called:

  • Eclipsed Estate
  • Relentless Retreat
  • Sanguine Suites

Epic has also prepared many new items for what will likely be the last season of Chapter 4. The video game developer hasn’t revealed more information about these items, but here is a list of them:

  • Deployable Turret
  • Heist Bag
  • Shield Breaker
  • Rocket Ram

In addition, it appears that several Mythic weapons will return, including Zyg and Choppy’s Ray Gun and Midas’ Drum Gun. Nitro Fang will be a new vehicle, and it looks like an armored version of a sports car.
