Developer Epic Games hasn't formally announced when the new season will begin, but all signs indicate that Season 6 will kick off next week. We still don't know what to expect, but the mysterious cube plunged into Loot Lake after making its way around the map. [Update: Season 6 officially begins on September 27, giving a day of breathing room between the end of the current season and the start of the new one.] > According to the official Fortnite website, Season 5 is set to conclude on Tuesday, September 25. In the past, Epic would begin a new season just as the previous one was ending, which suggests that Season 6 should arrive shortly after Season 5 officially wraps up. Tuesday is also typically the day the developer rolls out a new Fortnite update, further suggesting that Season 6 will start early next week.
