It's been barely two months since Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 4 began, and now it's time to move on. Or… move back? It's looking like when this season ends, time will actually move backward in Fortnite. That time machine that we pulled from Kado Thorne's basement during all these heists isn't just for show, it turns out.

Yes, it's looking like the next season of Fortnite is going to be unprecedented in all sorts of ways, and it could introduce some major new collaborations with Lego or Doctor Who as well as let us play on an updated version of the Chapter 1 island. Let's take a look at what we know so far.

When does the next Fortnite season begin?

The current season of Fortnite is scheduled to end at 11 PM PT / 2 AM ET on the morning of Friday, November 3. If this season changeover follows the now-standard pattern, the new season should go live after a few hours of downtime. Expect the servers to return by 7 or 8am ET on the morning of November 3.
