Here's The New Start Date For Fortnite: Battle Royale's Season 5

The season that started with a big comet impact is about to enter Week 9, and by this point many have already unlocked some of the battle pass's top-tier rewards, like the fully-upgraded Omega and Carbide skins or the Visitor skin from the Blockbuster Challenge. And with that, we turn our attention forward to Season 5, which, in true Fortnite style, is an absolute mystery. Epic has, however, announced a new end date for Season 4 and a new start date for Season 5. A recent post from an Epic employee on Reddit says that the new start date for Season 5 is Thursday, July 12. This makes sense: midway through the season Epic moved the challenge reset from Tuesday to Thursday, and this shift reflects that. The previous end date for Season 4 was Monday, July 9, with Season 5 assumed to be beginning the next day after downtime at 4:00 a.m.
