# Fortnite seasonal events

Fortnite is a free-to-play video game platform developed by Epic Games. Fortnite originally was developed as the cooperative player-versus-environment survival game, Fortnite: Save the World, released in July 2017. The game's developed shifted significantly following the beta release of the Fortnite Battle Royale in September 2017, a battle royale game where 100 players compete to be the last player standing after dropping from an airborne Battle Bus onto an island featuring several points of interest (POIs), a wide spread of various weapons and gear, and a harmful storm front that periodically shrinks in size to draw players into smaller areas on the island. This new mode drew numerous players to the game. With Fortnite Battle Royale's success, Epic expanded the Fortnite platform for other games and user-created modes built atop the Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) system. By 2025, Fortnite supports the Epic-developed Fortnite Battle Royale, Fortnite: Save the World, Lego Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Ballistic, along with user-created games in Fortnite Creative and Fall Guys.
Since December 2017, Fortnite has included seasonal content tied to a battle pass with various cosmetic reward, each season lasting for about two to three months. Starting around the fourth season, in May 2018, Epic began introducing a narrative structure to their season to explain changes to the island and for introduction of licensed cosmetic items. Fortnite has conducted continuous collaborations, such as with Disney, Marvel, and DC Comics. This has opened up a large spectrum of new cosmetics to collect.

## Background

To monetize the game, Epic Games had built an in-game storefront to offer cosmetics in the form of character skins, emotes, and other customization items for the player to use with their game avatar for Fortnite Battle Royale, using "V-Bucks" as the form of in-game currency to make these purchases. In December 2017, Epic Game introduced the use of a purchasable battle pass which featured numerous customization items that could be earned through playing the game along with V-bucks. The battle passes are time-limited and can only be completed during the current Chapter, typically over three to four months, with Chapter 1 representing all content from September 2017 to the launch of the Chapter and battle pass system in December 2017.
Initially, each Chapter brought about changes to the layout of the island. With the launch of Season 4 in May 2018, Epic Games used a series of in-game events to tease a narrative structure that would be used for all future seasons, and used further in-game events to explain changes to the island's map. Chief creative officer Donald Mustard explained that the idea of including narrative had been part of the concept of Fornite Battle Royale from the start, but because the game is primarily a multiplayer game, determining how to introduce story element had been difficult. Epic found that driving toward large, end-of-chapter events that would lead to changes in the island in the next season.
Prior to the start of Chapter 2 in October 2019, Epic also introduced character skins and cosmetics based on licensed characters. Since then, Epic has broken the storyline into Chapters grouping several seasons, with each season adding further crossover content from other licensed properties.

## Seasonal content
### Chapter 1

| Season | Period | Description | Collaborations |
| Season 1 ("First Steps") | September – December 2017 | Retroactively considered the 1st season of the 1st chapter upon the start of the second season. | |
| Season 2 ("Fort Knights") | December 2017 – February 2018 | Medieval themed. The battle pass, which initially had 70 tiers, was introduced. A mid-season update added 5 new locations, including Tilted Towers. | |
| Season 3 ("Meteor Strike") | February – April 2018 | Space exploration themed. The Battle Pass was increased from 70 tiers to 100. During the season, players had observed shooting stars crossing the Island, which later became small meteorites that struck the surface. A larger meteor also became visible, beginning a crash course towards the Island. | |
| Season 4 ("Brace for Impact") | May – July 2018 | Superhero themed. Superhero and villain bases appeared on the Island, later revealed to be part of a movie set. For a limited time, players could play as or fight against Thanos as part of a collaboration event with Marvel. The large meteor wiped out Dusty Depot, leaving behind a large crater. Inside, a mysterious pod was found that contained a character known as "The Visitor", who then raided the villain base to steal a prop rocket. Using meteor remnants from the crater, the Visitor turned the prop into a real rocket, which launched and created a massive interdimensional rift above the Island. | |
| Season 5 ("Worlds Collide") | July – September 2018 | The next few days following the rocket launch saw the rift growing increasingly larger, bringing in objects from other realities while also causing some native items to vanish. One of these items, a Durrr Burger head ended up in the real world. The southeastern corner of the map was turned into a desert, and smaller rifts began to appear as a new gameplay feature, teleporting players into the sky. Near the end of the season, the massive rift closed, but not before transporting a large purple Cube to the Island. This Cube, nicknamed "Kevin" by the players, rolled around the Island before sinking into Loot Lake, leaving behind a trail of corruption. | |
| Season 6 ("Darkness Rises") | September – December 2018 | Corruption themed. The island at the center of Loot Lake rose into the sky due to the effects of the Cube, which traveled to multiple locations across the larger Island before returning to Loot Lake and opening a portal in the sky, allowing hostile "Cube Monsters" to appear on the Island. In a live event, the overloaded Cube exploded, transporting everyone to a realm known as the "In-Between". A rift-shaped Butterfly appeared, which returned the players back onto the Island. Loot Lake had been mostly restored to normal, with the exception of the appearance of tiny landmasses. Before the end of the season, a large iceberg was spotted on the southwestern corner of the Island. | |
| Season 7 ("You Better Watch Out") | December 2018 – February 2019 | Winter themed. The iceberg collided with the Island, blanketing a third of the map in snow. The iceberg itself began to thaw as the season progressed, revealing a large castle inhabited by the Ice King, who then cast a spell that unleased a winter storm across the entire Island. At the end of the season, the Ice King's prisoner escapes and creates a large volcano on the northeast corner of the map, reclaiming his powers of the Fire King. The volcano's appearance causes earthquakes that rocked the Island, creating fissures in the ground. | Marshmello |
| Season 8 ("X Marks the Spot") | February – May 2019 | Pirate themed. After the volcano had drastically altered the landscape of the Island in the northeast, digging sites were established that would later uncover a Vault underneath Loot Lake. Over time, the Vault gained power through the use of five mysterious runes that acted on their own accord. In the meanwhile, Thanos returned for another limited-time Marvel event. In the "Unvaulting" live event, players entered the Vault to vote on one of six items to be reintroduced into the game. Inside, the Vault houses the Zero Point, an orb of pure energy created by the Big Bang, serving as the core of all of reality. After the Drum Gun won the vote, the volcano erupted, scattering debris in the air which would ultimately destroy Tilted Towers and Retail Row, and cause damage to the iceberg. | Black Widow and Star-Lord (Marvel) |
| Season 9 ("The Future Is Yours") | May – July 2019 | Futuristic themed. The locations that were destroyed by the volcanic eruption were reconstructed with futuristic technology through the use of the Zero Point's power, with Tilted Towers becoming Neo Tilted and Retail Row becoming Mega Mall. The damage to the iceberg caused a monster known as the Devourer to escape into the waters surrounding the Island. With the help of the Zero Point's guardian Singularity, drones inside the volcano's caldera constructed a giant mech called the "Mecha Team Leader". In a live event, Mecha activated and engaged the Devourer, but ended up getting overpowered. Severely damaged, Mecha was forced to pull the Zero Point out of the Vault to regain power before using a sword hidden in Neo Tilted to kill the Devourer. Mecha flew off into space, leaving the Devourer's corpse and a severely damaged Zero Point behind, which exploded at the end of the season. | John Wick and Sofia Al-Azwar (John Wick);Chief Hopper and a Demogorgon (Stranger Things) |
| Season X ("Out of Time") | August – October 2019 | Time travel themed. This marked the final season of Chapter 1. The Zero Point's explosion caused a shift in space-time on the Island, bringing the previously-destroyed Dusty Depot to the present. As a result of Dusty Depot's return, the meteor that destroyed it was frozen in time in the present. A character named "The Scientist" emerged from the meteor, who was part of a group known as "the Seven" alongside the Visitor. To bring the remaining members of the Seven to the Island, the Scientist created rift zones across the Island, bringing in regions from other universes (like Borderlands' Pandora and DC's Gotham City). In "The End" finale event, the Scientist launched a rocket from Dusty Depot, with each rift zone opening to allow the remaining six rockets to travel through. The seven rockets unfroze the meteor and took it through another rift, positioning it directly above the Zero Point. The meteor descended and struck the Zero Point, creating a black hole that consumed the Island, leaving the entire game unplayable. Following the event, players could enter the Konami code to play a minigame. | Psycho Bandit (Borderlands);Batman and Catwoman (DC Comics);Major Lazer |

### Chapter 2

| Season | Period | Description | Collaborations |
| Season 1 ("New World") | October 2019 – February 2020 | After 36 hours, the black hole collapsed and reorganized the Island's matter, creating a new Island with the Zero Point contained once more. New mechanics such as boats, fishing, swimming, and carrying downed players were introduced. AI-controlled players known as "bots" were added to matches as "filler" players. In a live event, Emperor Palpatine broadcast a message across the Island as the Millennium Falcon flew in the skies above, promising revenge for the Sith. | Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, Zorii Bliss, a Stormtrooper, and a Sith Trooper (Star Wars);Ninja;Harley Quinn (DC Extended Universe) |
| Season 2 ("Top Secret") | February – June 2020 | Secret agent themed. A mysterious group known as the Agency took control of the Island under two competing factions: SHADOW and GHOST. Boss battles were introduced at certain locations, with players being able to raid and loot them using various options such as adopting disguises and disabling the defense's power source. Defeated agents could also be shaken down to expose the locations of other enemies. Under the Agency's headquarters at the center of the Island, their leader Midas had been constructing a device in an attempt to destroy the Storm and break the Loop. In a live event at the end of the season, this plan went awry, and instead a large wall of water surrounded the Island. As this was happening, players drifted in and out of a mysterious office setting and briefly interacted with a blonde-haired agent. | Deadpool, Psylocke, Domino, and Cable (Marvel);Loserfruit;Travis Scott |
| Season 3 ("Splashdown!") | June – August 2020 | Aquatic themed. The wall of water broke, flooding the Island and leaving most locations submerged underwater. Throughout the season, the Storm was a wall of water that offered greater mobility compared to previous Storm circles. As the season progressed, the water levels started to subside, later revealing a location on the northwestern corner of the Island named Coral Castle, seemingly inspired by the city of Atlantis. | Aquaman and Black Manta (DC Extended Universe);Captain America (Marvel) |
| Season 4 ("Nexus War") | August – December 2020 | Marvel themed. This season contained a Marvel themed battle pass and POIs. The comic prelude revealed that Thor and Galactus were transported to the Island by a rift once Galactus became tempted by the energy of the Zero Point, threatening all of reality. In order to stop Galactus from consuming the Zero Point, Thor summoned numerous superheroes and supervillains from the Marvel universe to confront him. In "The Devourer of Worlds" live event, Iron Man armed a fleet of Battle Buses with gamma bombs and had the players lure Galactus into inhaling them all, causing an explosion that sends him back to his home reality. However, the Zero Point had been pulled out of the center of the Island by Galactus and was severely damaged, leading to the events of the following season. | Thor, She-Hulk, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Storm, Doctor Doom, Mystique, Iron Man, Wolverine, Venom, Silver Surfer, Blade, Daredevil, and Ghost Rider (Marvel);Joker and Poison Ivy (DC Comics);J Balvin;Lachlan |
| Season 5 ("Zero Point") | December 2020 – March 2021 | Hunter themed. In-game currency known as "Bars" and the Fortnite Crew subscription were introduced. The unearthed Zero Point had created a massive desert in the center of the Island, and some locations from the past returned as a result. The blonde-haired agent– John "Jonesy" Jones– was tasked with recruiting various hunters from different realities on behalf of the Imagined Order (IO) in order to maintain every player within the Loop. Players that were trapped in the Loop by repeatedly engaging in the battle royale were known as "Loopers". As the IO aimed to establish "perfect order" across all realities, the Seven fought to break the Loop and set everyone free. Near the end of the season, the Zero Point started to gradually destabilize, becoming visibly unstable with pulsating effects appearing around it. | The Mandalorian and Grogu (Star Wars);Kratos (God of War);Master Chief (Halo);Ant-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Taskmaster (Marvel);The Flash and Green Arrow (DC Comics);Michonne and Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead);T-800 and Sarah Connor (Terminator);Snake Eyes (G.I. Joe);Ryu and Chun-Li (Street Fighter);Ellen Ripley and Xenomorph (Alien);Predator (Predator);LazarBeam;TheGrefg |
| Season 6 ("Primal") | March – June 2021 | Wilderness themed. In the "Zero Crisis Finale", Jones defects from the IO to join the Seven. The Foundation, the leader of the Seven, agreed to help Jones and the Looper to stabilize the Zero Point in exchange for information on IO's leader Geno and the whereabouts of two members of the Seven. With no other options, Jones was forced to help seal The Foundation within the Zero Point, which also traps him within the Loop. The Zero Point is contained in a Spire. A "reality wave" created by the Zero Point replaced the surrounding area's modern technology with primitive tools, forming a "Primal" biome and sending the Island to a primal age. Furthermore, wild animals were added, which roam throughout the island. Near the end of the season, the Spire ended up attracting extraterrestrial attention, and UFOs began to appear on the Island. Aliens made contact with the Loopers in the form of puzzles, which revealed their identity: "The Last Reality". | Lara Croft (Tomb Raider);Deathstroke, Raven and Beast Boy (DC Comics);Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn);Kelsier (Mistborn);Neymar Jr. |
| Season 7 ("Invasion!") | June – September 2021 | Alien invasion themed. The Last Reality began its invasion, leading to the IO returning to the Island. The Last Reality's mothership destroys the Spire, unintentionally releasing the Foundation and rifting him to a mysterious ocean in Gotham City. In the "Operation: Sky Fire" live event, IO military leader Doctor Slone led the Loopers to plant bombs on the mothership in hopes of ending the invasion. However, the mothership had been carrying several Cubes (similar to Kevin in Chapter 1: Season 6), and they were controlled by the Last Reality. Slone abandoned the Loopers after the bombs were successfully armed and left them to die, but they survived by "rebooting" one of the Cubes. The mothership exploded, releasing the Cubes onto the Island. | Superman, Wonder Woman, and Bloodsport (DC Comics);Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith (Rick and Morty);Thanos, Gamora, Shang-Chi, and Loki (Marvel);Guile and Cammy (Street Fighter);Dude (Free Guy);Mike Lowrey (Bad Boys);LeBron James (Space Jam: A New Legacy);Ariana Grande;Harry Kane and Marco Reus;Bugha;Guggimon (Superplastic);Gildedguy |
| Season 8 ("Cubed") | September – December 2021 | Cube themed. This marked the final season of Chapter 2. The Island descended into chaos as it became corrupted by the Cubes, which opened portals to a monster-populated reality known as the Sideways. A Golden Cube was among the other Cubes, and spends the season roaming the Island to reproduce with other Cubes, before settling at the former Spire site. The Cube Queen emerged out of the Golden Cube and slowly built a Pyramid of Cubes as she prepared to annihilate all realities. In "The End" finale event, the Cube Queen opened a portal to the Last Reality, allowing numerous UFOs and motherships to rain destruction down on the Island. Jones, who was held captive by Slone following the Zero Crisis Finale, was freed by the Foundation (revealed to be portrayed by Dwayne Johnson), having escaped Gotham City. The Scientist and the Visitor evacuated the Loopers to an underground chamber, while the Foundation manipulated IO technology to rotate the Island, revealing another Island on the flipside. As the landmass was being flipped, the Last Reality's weakness to water forced them to retreat. The underground chamber flooded, washing the Loopers away into the ocean. | Carnage, Nick Fury, Eddie Brock, and Dark Phoenix (Marvel);The Batman Who Laughs (DC Comics);Paul Atreides and Chani (Dune);Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine (Resident Evil);Rick Grimes (The Walking Dead);Jinx (Arcane: League of Legends);Frankenstein's monster, Frankenstein's bride, and The Mummy (Universal Monsters);Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake (Naruto);El Chapulín Colorado (Chespirito);Janky (Superplastic) |

### Chapter 3

| Season | Period | Description | Collaborations |
| Season 1 ("Flipped") | December 2021 – March 2022 | The Loopers slowly drifted towards the new Island, and the Foundation revealed that the Fortnite world (or Reality Zero) was a two-sided, flat piece of hollow land encapsulating the Zero Point in its center, encased in an atmospheric orb floating in space. This new Island bore a striking resemblance to the Chapter 1 Island, with the returning Tilted Towers, Loot Lake, and volcano being in familiar positions. New features such as sliding and zip lines were introduced. Near the end of the season, the IO began drilling to the Flipside, causing earthquakes across the Island. They established a base in the mountains and expanded their drilling in preparation with war with the Seven. | Dwayne Johnson as The Foundation;Spider-Man, Michelle Jones, Green Goblin, Clint Barton, Kate Bishop, Rogue, and Gambit (Marvel);Marcus Fenix and Kait Diaz (Gears of War);Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Black Krrsantan (Star Wars);Vi (Arcane: League of Legends);Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer (Uncharted);Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Assassin's Creed);Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak (Silk Sonic);Naomi Osaka |
| Season 2 ("Resistance") | March – June 2022 | War themed. The IO launched a large-scale invasion of the Island, clashing with the Seven to reclaim it and the Zero Point for themselves. At the start of the season, the IO disabled the building mechanic, but the Loopers and the Seven worked to restore it. A Zero Build game mode would later be added as a permanent variant for Battle Royale. After the Seven retook most of the Island, the IO drained Loot Lake and built the Collider in its place, aiming to destroy the Island and take the Zero Point. In response, the Seven located Mecha Team Leader on an icy moon, which had been piloted by the Paradigm. In tie-in comics, the Paradigm had conspired with the IO to build Mecha, and she explained that without the IO's involvement, they would have built the Collider to contain the Devourer. After defeating the Devourer, Mecha crashed into the moon, knocking the Paradigm out until the Seven located her. In the "Collision" live event, the Seven rebuilt Mecha to launch a final attack on the IO and the Collider. As Mecha prepared to destroy the Collider, it fell into a large underground pit, revealing it was powered by an overclocked Zero Point, which begins phasing between different realities. Slone ambushed Jones, the Foundation, and the Loopers in a tank, but a weakened Mecha destroyed it, presumably killing Slone. The Zero Point then hones in on Geno's new location, leading Jones and the Foundation to jump into it to pursue him. The Loopers succeeded in destroying the Collider, and were evacuated by Mecha. Tie-in comics set after Collision saw Jones and the Foundation finding Geno and a member of the Seven, The Imagined, disintegrating as a result of coming into contact with the unfocused Zero Point, causing their matter to be scattered across realities. Before disappearing, Geno warned them about the dangers the Island may face without the IO's control. Although thought to have died, Geno was able to reclaim his body in another reality. | Doctor Strange, Prowler, Scarlet Witch, Moon Knight/Mr. Knight, and Mary Jane Watson (Marvel);Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars);Sakura Kasugano and Blanka (Street Fighter);RoboCop (RoboCop);Eivor Varinsdottir (Assassin's Creed);Chloe Kim;Chica;Ali-A |
| Season 3 ("Vibin'") | June – September 2022 | Party themed. The IO's defeat led the Loopers to celebrate and enjoy their freedom, even though the Loop had not yet been destroyed. The Zero Point caused a large tree known as the Reality Tree to blossom, covering the western side of the Island with large mushrooms and flora. Yet as they celebrated, a sinister entity watched over the Island. Throughout the season, the Zero Point began summoning artifacts to the Island, which served as distress signals as its newfound freedom exposed it to new threats. At the end of the season, the Foundation and the Imagined's sister, the Order, mysteriously went missing. | Darth Vader (Star Wars);Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones);Mighty Thor (Thor: Love and Thunder);Hinata Hyuga, Gaara, Itachi Uchiha, and Orochimaru (Naruto);Starfire and Dreamer (DC Comics);Commander Zavala, Ikora Rey, and Exo Stranger (Destiny);John Cena (WWE);Son Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and Beerus (Dragon Ball);Patrick Mahomes;Crewmate (Among Us) |
| Season 4 ("Paradise") | September – December 2022 | "Chrome" themed. This marked the final season of Chapter 3. The remaining members of the Seven were overtaken by a mysterious substance known as "Chrome", with the Paradigm being the only one of the group to escape. The Chrome infected and converted anything it touches into itself, and it was being controlled by the Herald, who was watching over the Island in the previous season. The Chrome was later revealed to be acting for the Last Reality, which was led by an entity known as The Nothing. The Chrome slowly infected the Island as the season progressed, overtaking numerous locations. In the "Fracture" finale event, the Herald fused with the Reality Tree, destroying all of Reality Zero but leaving the Zero Point intact. For 40 minutes, the Loopers assisted the Paradigm to initiate Zero Fusion, bringing in landmass from other realities to form a new one-sided Island around the Zero Point. The Paradigm seemingly sacrificed herself to complete the process. | Brie Larson as The Paradigm;Spider-Gwen and X-23 (Marvel);Black Adam (Black Adam);Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa (Star Wars);Ash Williams (Evil Dead);Mr. Meeseeks and Queen Summer (Rick and Morty);Goat (Goat Simulator);SypherPK |

### Chapter 4

| Season | Period | Description | Collaborations |
| Season 1 ("Oathbound") | December 2022 – March 2023 | Medieval themed. An advanced medieval organization called the Oathbound had occupied one of three biomes on the Island. Their leader, the Ageless, was a younger clone of Geno who ordered his Rift Warden Stellan to build the Rift Gate under his Citadel. Accompanying Stellan was AMIE, an AI that served the Seven and is determined to locate them. A "Shapeless Man" (implied to be Geno) had been haunting Stellan, goading him to construct the Rift Gate to help him return to the Island and establish a world of "perfect order". Meanwhile, AMIE and the Looper decode a message seemingly from the Last Reality, suggesting that the Seven were held captive and are in grave danger. As a result, AMIE tampered with the Rift Gate by altering its coordinates to where the message came from, and traveled through it to find the Seven. This destabilized and destroyed the Rift Gate, and opened a red rift in the sky instead. Following this, the Shapeless Man stopped haunting Stellan. | Doom Slayer (DOOM);Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher);Hulk and Sam Wilson (Captain America) (Marvel);Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, and All Might (My Hero Academia);Giannis Antetokounmpo;MrBeast;Isaac Clarke (Dead Space);Son Gohan and Piccolo (Dragon Ball Super);Adonis Creed (Rocky);The Kid Laroi;Flakes Power |
| Season 2 ("MEGAメガ") | March – June 2023 | Cyberpunk/Neo-Japan themed. A large Japanese-styled biome crashed onto the southeastern corner of the Island from the red rift, which spawned the futuristic MEGA City and other Japanese-styled locations. Controlling the biome was the Peace Syndicate, which was gathering intel on the Last Reality. A saboteur had corrupted the Peace Syndicate's intel while also orchestrating tensions between it and other syndicates, nearly sparking a war between them. The Looper worked with the Peace Syndicate to cool tensions between the other syndicates and united them against the saboteur, who was later revealed to be working for the Last Reality. An inter-syndicate war was successfully averted, although fissures began to appear around the Island at the end of the season, with vines sprouting from them. | Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan);Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield (Resident Evil 2);Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, Darth Maul, and Clone troopers (Star Wars);Goku Black (Dragon Ball Super);Miles Morales and Spider-Man 2099 (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) |
| Season 3 ("Wilds") | June – August 2023 | Jungle themed. The center of the island had collapsed, revealing an abandoned jungle full of ancient secrets. Slone, previously thought deceased, had distanced herself from the IO and was now studying the ancient ruins with Optimus Prime. Atop one of the temples sat a ruined telescope known as the Apparatus, which Slone and other explorers repaired. Slone's continued studies of the ruins led her to a prophecy called the "Eclipse", which although astrologically impossible, was fated to occur. The Zero Point could be found nearby the Apparatus, depleted of its energy and encased in stone. Optimus Prime made a radio announcement to warn the Island of the impending dangers they would face without the power of the Zero Point. | Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal (Transformers);Yennefer of Vengerberg and Ciri (The Witcher);Nord Warrior (The Elder Scrolls Online);Philip J.

| Season 4 ("Last Resort") | August – November 2023 | Heist themed. Time-traveling vampire Kado Thorne took up residence on the Island, bringing with him a trove of valuable items that he stole from Fortnite's past. Slone and her associate Nolan Chance, with the help of the Looper, assembled a team to steal Kado's time machine, which he had set to "July 12th, 2018". The Eclipse began and Kado turned into a revenant vampire, but Slone, Nolan, the returning Jones, and their crew successfully completed their heist. While running tests on the time machine, objects from Chapter 1 were brought into the present, including the Durrr Burger head. Although Kado's fate was left ambiguous, Jones prepared to go back in time. | Khaby Lame;Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars);Shoto Todoroki, Eijiro Kirishima, and Mina Ashido (My Hero Academia);Bumblebee and Megatron (Transformers);Michael Myers (Halloween);Jack Skellington (The Nightmare Before Christmas);Alan Wake (Alan Wake) |
| Season OG | November – December 2023 | Chapter 1 themed "mini-season". This marked the final season of Chapter 4. The Battle Pass (called the "OG Pass") featured mashups of Chapter 1 skins, and was 50 tiers instead of 100. Metro Boomin created the season's lobby track. Jones traveled back in time to the Chapter 1 Island, which had a few differences as Jones' time jump had slightly altered history. Each week, the map updated to reflect the seasonal changes in Chapter 1, starting with Season 5 and then Season 6, 7/8, and 9/X. Some locations from Chapter 1 were however omitted for Season OG, such as Gotham City and Dusty Depot. Slone recorded multiple audio logs that she sent back in time to Jones, instructing him to perform an "extraction" that involved salvaging the Zero Point and all of reality, and she bade Jones goodbye, as his actions would change the future. The Zero Point emerged from Loot Lake, and the Time Machine was strapped to the rocket, which began to launch. In "The Big Bang" finale event, events played out like Chapter 1's "The End" event, although the rocket— and later the meteor— started to glitch out due to the effects of the Time Machine. The glitching meteor struck the Zero Point and the island collapsed in on itself, but instead of a black hole forming, the Big Bang occurred, resulting in old and new realities beginning to materialize. Among these new realities were Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival, which were released in the opening dates of Chapter 5. Fall Guys x Fortnite and an OG-inspired "Reload" mode were added in July 2024, while a standalone OG mode was added in December 2024, expanding on Season OG. | Eleven (Stranger Things);Lewis Hamilton;Invincible, Omni-Man, and Atom Eve (Invincible);Eminem |

### Chapter 5

| Season | Period | Description | Collaborations |
| Season 1 ("Underground") | December 2023 – March 2024 | Due to the Big Bang, a new timeline was formed, and Jones traveled to a new reality. Peely, Jones' anthropomorphic banana friend, was taken hostage, plunging the Island into a battle between two factions known as The Underground - led by Jones and his new partner Hope - and The Society, the faction holding Peely hostage, led by Hope's sister Valeria. Valeria had planned to use Peely to interrogate Jones about an ancient chest, but as Jones was able to rescue Peely from the Society, she continued the search on her own, leading to a massive arm carrying the chest to emerge from the ground. The Loopers opened the chest, revealing a tornado of souls inside, leading Valeria to flee and leave the rest of the Society members behind. | Peter Griffin and Ernie the Giant Chicken (Family Guy);Solid Snake and Raiden (Metal Gear);Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, April O'Neil, Shredder, and Master Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles);The Weeknd;Frieza and Cell (Dragon Ball);Lady Gaga |
| Season 2 ("Myths & Mortals") | March – May 2024 | Greek mythology themed. Fortnite-themed versions of Zeus, Hades, Aphrodite, Artemis, Poseidon, Cerberus, Medusa, Ares, Charon, Apollo, and Perseus are introduced. The northwestern and southeastern regions of the Island transformed into the Underworld and Olympus respectively as the Oracle foretold a prophecy in which Zeus would turn his wrath towards humanity; Zeus attacked and defeated the Society, and the Looper was enlisted to help defeat Zeus. Throughout the season, the player recruited Aphrodite, Artemis and Medusa to stand against Zeus, allowing Jones and Hope to defeat the weakened Zeus. The statue on Mount Olympus then came to life and fired a lightning bolt at the chest (revealed to be Pandora's box), producing a mysterious spark of energy that attracted a sandstorm that began to approach the Island. | Korra, Aang, Appa, Katara, Toph Beifong, and Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra);Drax, Mantis, Hela, God Loki (from Loki season 2), and Sylvie Laufeydottir (Marvel);Billie Eilish;Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, a Death Trooper, Yoda, and C-3PO (Star Wars);Dabi, Himiko Toga, and Tomura Shigaraki (My Hero Academia) |
| Season 3 ("Wrecked") | May – August 2024 | Post-apocalyptic themed. Most of the Greek gods have also fled following Zeus' defeat, including Zeus himself, as the sandstorm made landfall on the south side of the Island, creating a large wasteland biome populated by marauders seeking control of the island. They were led by Megalo Don, who was accompanied by an ominous figure known as "The Wanderer". The Oracle revealed that Hope and Pandora's box are intertwined in fate, allowing Hope to see the future, but the Wanderer's interference had irreversibly altered their destinies. Sensing doom, Magneto planted Stark-made Rift Beacons across the Island to call for reinforcements to confront the Wanderer. Simultaneously, the Wanderer betrayed Megalo Don by sabotaging a pipeline he had built to power his Leviathan warship, causing it to explode and reveal Pandora's box under the rubble. The Wanderer then took the box's powers for himself. | T-60 Power Armor and Vault Boy (Fallout);Magneto, Cyclops, Jubilee, and Colossus (Marvel);The Employee (Lethal Company);James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo (Metallica);Nick Eh 30;Jack Sparrow, Davy Jones, Elizabeth Swann, and Hector Barbossa (Pirates of the Caribbean);Trunks, Android 17, and Android 18 (Dragon Ball);IG-11 and Moff Gideon (Star Wars);The Beans (Fall Guys) |
| Season 4 ("Absolute Doom") | August – November 2024 | Doctor Doom themed. This marked the second season to be themed around Marvel Comics. The Wanderer was revealed to be Doom, having defeated Magneto and his reinforcements, as well as Galactus. He established territory on the northern parts of the Island to annex it into Latveria. Jones assumed the role of Captain America to lead the remaining heroes with Hope, who was prophesied by the Oracle to defeat Doom. Doom retreated to assemble a new set of armor in order to contain the power of Pandora's box as Hope and Shuri reconfigured the Rift Beacons in order to send Doom away to another reality. After more Rift Beacons were planted, an enlarged and empowered Doom returned to the Island. Led by Hope, the Loopers joined Jones and other Marvel heroes in a battle to entrap Doom into being rifted away. Later on, a Rift Butterfly merged the Island with New York City as Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice headlined a concert in Times Square, before blinding the Loopers with a flash of light. | Gwenpool (with Dark Gwenpool), War Machine (with Iron Patriot), Emma Frost, Mysterio, Shuri, Black Cat, Iron Spider, Mephisto, Agony, She-Venom, Spider-Woman, and Meowscles (as Sabretooth) (Marvel);Karol G;El Rubius;Shaquille O'Neal;Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone (The Incredibles);Billy the Puppet (Saw);Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre);Sally (The Nightmare Before Christmas);Edward Scissorhands (Edward Scissorhands);Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, and Captain Hook (Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Sleeping Beauty, and Peter Pan respectively) |
| Chapter 2 Remix | November 2024 | Hip hop music themed "mini-season" set in early Chapter 2, with Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Ice Spice in charge of locations formerly associated with Midas' Crew. This marked the final season of Chapter 5. Like Season OG, "remixed" versions of Chapter 2 outfits were featured, and the Battle Pass was 50 tiers instead of 100. The late Juice Wrld watched over the Island from afar. Hidden audio logs revealed Hope had been unsuccessfully reaching out to Valeria, telling her that she was leaving the Chapter 5 Island to investigate her link with Pandora's box. All four rappers headlined a concert in the "Remix: The Finale" finale event, after-which the Loopers, along with Hope and Jones, were transported to a Japan-inspired Island. A mysterious artifact followed them out of the wormhole and fell towards the Island's surface. | Snoop DoggIce SpiceJuice Wrld |

### Chapter 6

| Season | Period | Description | Collaborations |
| Season 1 ("鬼HUNTERS") | December 2024 – February 2025 | Japanese folklore themed. Movement was expanded to include parkour mechanics, such as wall kicks and roll landings. For a limited time, players could become Godzilla as other players had to fight him off. The artifact's impact on the surface had reawakened the Island's long-dormant magic, activating portals that allowed demons to invade. Hope joined forces with Island natives and siblings Kendo and Jade to fend off the demons as she searched for the artifact with Jones. Jade ended up trapped in the demons' Spirit Realm due to a curse that was accidentally worsened by a mask made by her brother Daigo. Hope identified the artifact as part of the Zero Point, which was in the possession of a dark entity in the Spirit Realm. Kendo forged magical blades using artifact fragments and gave them to the Night Rose demon, who in turn gave them to Daigo. To save Jade, Daigo defeated the demon leader Shogun X in a duel with the blades, leaving a pool of gold behind. Jade informed the Loopers that the gold would cause chaos on the Island. | Baymax (Big Hero 6);Godzilla, Kong, Mechagodzilla, and Mothra (Monsterverse);Peter B.

| Season 2 ("Lawless") | February – May 2025 | Crime/heist themed. Excess gold had leeched into the Island's landscape, plunging the once-tranquil Island into a gold rush as various criminals attempted to claim the riches for themselves, overrunning the Island's western side. A wolf baron named Fletcher Kane rose to power in the chaos and later imposed a 50% tax on all gold transactions, leading the outlaws to unite behind Midas and rob Kane of his gold. | Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat);Spike Spiegel and Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop);Allen the Alien and Dupli-Kate (Invincible);Shohei Ohtani;Clix |
