Fortnite Season 7 – what is it?
Epic regularly switches things up with the release of a new season every few months.
The latest update is Chapter 2, Season 7 – which follows on from Season 6 launched in March.
Season 7 will likely bring about big changes to the map layout, as well as new weapons.
Players can also expect new character crossovers with popular TV and film franchises.
Fortnite Season 7 release date and time
Epic has taken the unusual step of announcing the Season 7 release date well in advance this time around.
The North Carolina-based company has set a launch date of Tuesday, June 8 for the update.
We still don’t know what time it’ll be out, however.
For the last update, Season 6, Battle Pass unlocked at 8am UK time (3am ET) on launch day following a few hours of server downtime.
Epic may well follow a similar pattern for the rollout of Season 7.
