Everything we know about Season 5 of Fortnite so far

With just over three weeks to go, Fortnite Season 5 is almost here. Last season brought a new battle pass, new skins, emotes, and significant map changes, all wrapped up in a playful hero movie theme. After the title’s best update ever, Fortnite Season 5 has a lot to look forward to.

The signature of Season 4 began a few weeks before it began, first with a mysterious comet appearing in the sky, followed by a meteor shower that brought havoc to Dusty Depot. Fortnite Season 5 is still in its infancy, and it kicks off with another explosive event. Between evil lairs, massive rockets, distress signals, and cracks in space, the signs are growing clearer. Here’s what we know about Fortnite Season 5 so far.

With Season 4, a missile mountain base was added to the western part of the map, a mysterious object encased in a space rock fell right in the center of Dusty, and a Extravagant villas have also been added on the east bank. In the following weeks, the meteors at Dusty were gradually mined by a group of astronauts, the introduction of The Stranger, a skin for those who completed the seven-week mission. And the image of The Stranger on the standby screen as he is armed with a rocket to prepare to fire.

After the image above was discovered, TVs all over the map started playing an image of a skull, similar to the skull image projected from the back of the mountain, where the evil lair and storage area were located. rocket.

On Saturday 30th June, the rocket was launched as soon as the in-game timer hit 0. It appeared as if the rocket was heading into space, presumably towards The Visitor’s “home” suspected rocket launcher), but shortly after the rocket’s boosters separated and landed at Anarchy Acres, the craft crashed straight into the ground and crashed into the Tilted Towers area.

It seemed like a tragic ending was destined for Tilted, but at the last moment, a hole in space was opened, allowing the rocket to be fired. This happened several times in different areas of the map before the rocket was re-launched into the sky and caused a huge rift in space.

Actually, we still don’t know for sure! While it is clear that they are the result of rocket launches, anomalies are beginning to appear more frequently. The first was the appearance of a cloud near the Lonely Lodge sign, creating a small crack similar to the one in the sky. Then the sign disappeared without leaving any trace. The same thing happened at the motel, take the sign with it. Another anomaly has also appeared in the Tomato Town area, and it is likely that the sign of this area will soon disappear as well.

But what do these anomalies mean? There are rumors that have been circulating in the Fortnite subreddit community, suggesting that this event may revolve around a historical theme, possibly related to cracks. The previous Season 4 leaker (whose source is currently being sued by Epic) alludes to a historical theme, meaning that areas marked on the map will go back to a time period before. that and more.

A full-blown map change is still a long way off, and the timeless historical theme would be a great way to breathe new life into the game. Again, everything is still unconfirmed, but we may know soon enough. The 10th week of Fortnite Season 4 will also be just a few days away.

According to Epic community coordinator Sean Hamilton, aka MrPopoTFS, Fortnite Season 5 will kick off on Thursday, July 12 at 1am PST/9am BST.

Fortnite’s Battle Pass bundles are almost always kept at the price of 950 V-Buck, so it’s very likely that the price will remain the same next season unless Epic Games decides to change it. 950 V-Buck will be equivalent to $9.5, but since the smallest V-Buck bundle is $10, you will have to spend a little more unless you have accumulated enough for Season 4.

Most likely, a large part of the map will be blown away by purple rockets. Due to the presence of a mysterious indestructible bunker at the Wailing Woods at the beginning of Season 4, many players believe that this is the location where the most upheaval will occur.

This is doable, considering that the former Wailing Woods wasn’t really a fun place to jump off of.

Most likely the same 10 weeks as Season 4.
