Fortnite Season Three feels prefer it simply began not way back, and already it’s rushing in the direction of its conclusion that ought to come earlier than the tip of the month. The finish dates for the games’ seasonal battle passes usually give away the date for when the present season will finish and the subsequent will start, although as we’ve seen numerous times in the past, there’s all the time an opportunity the present season will probably be prolonged for any variety of causes. Assuming that doesn’t occur, the present season ought to transition into Season Four in simply over every week.
According to Epic Games’ battle pass information for Season 3, the present season is meant to finish on August 27th. Fortnite seasons usually begin straight away after one ends, so it’s assumed that Season Four would then instantly begin afterwards on the identical day, or if not then, maybe August 28th. That new season means one other theme, one other battle move, and one other set of seasonal modifications and options to stay up for.
Of course, there are any variety of the reason why the present season could possibly be prolonged which might on the identical time delay Season 4. With the continued coronavirus pandemic and everybody having to regulate their working circumstances accordingly, we’ve seen no scarcity of delays and reworked plans for seasons, new games, and every little thing else. That means the subsequent season may very nicely be delayed for some time till it’s prepared, although if that’s the case, it’ll hopefully not be delayed so long as previous seasons have been.
There’s additionally one other matter at play right here that hasn’t been happening in previous seasons and will have an effect on the beginning date of Season 4. In a really publicized and dramatic battle of massive manufacturers, Fortnite was removed from the App Store and the Google Play Store and is now not accessible on cellular units. Legal complaints adopted the actions as each Apple and Epic Games stood agency on their positions and outlined the results of one another’s actions with neither prepared to budge thus far.
Matters like this most likely received’t be resolved inside the week which begs the query of what is going to occur to Fortnite’s cellular group if the season begins on the deliberate date. Those gamers could be left behind since they wouldn’t have the ability to obtain the seasonal replace for the game and would subsequently start the season later. That would imply understanding logistics of these gamers not having sufficient time to work by the battle move, lacking out on seasonal occasions that non-mobile gamers have been current for, and throwing off the synchronization of Fortnite’s updates. It’s not unreasonable then to suppose that the brand new season could possibly be delayed for these causes to verify each platform remains to be aligned with the others.
Whatever is to occur with the present season and the subsequent, Fortnite all the time has an enormous end-of-season occasion to shut out the present season. We’ll both see that teased quickly to point the tip is coming, or we’ll see communications from Epic Games to say the season’s been prolonged.
