If you’re excited about Fortnite’s next big update, you won’t have to wait much longer. Fortnite Chapter 6, officially titled “Hunters,” is set to launch on December 1, 2024, bringing with it a fresh Japanese-themed experience with some exciting surprises.
When Does Fortnite Chapter 6 Start?
The next chapter of Fortnite starts on December 1, 2024. While we don’t have the exact launch time yet, we can tell you when to expect it based on previous updates. First, there’s the Chapter 2 Remix finale event with Juice WRLD skin on November 30.
After the second show wraps up, the servers will go offline for the update. So if we have to take a guess, you should be able to play Chapter 6 between 4:00-6:00 AM ET on December 1.
Here are the estimated start times for different regions on December 1:
- Pacific Time: 3:00 AM
- Eastern Time: 6:00 AM
- UK (GMT): 11:00 AM
- Central Europe: 12:00 PM
- India: 4:30 PM
- Japan/Korea: 8:00 PM
- Australia (AEDT): 10:00 PM
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Downtime
Fortnite server downtime usually occurs at the end of seasons. As such, we estimate that Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 downtime will begin after the end of Chapter 2 Remix on 10 PM ET. Stay tuned for the exact timings as more information comes out.
Fortnite The Remix Finale Event
Before Chapter 6 begins, there’s one last event you might want to check out. It’s called “Remix: The Finale” and it’s happening on November 30. The event features a star-studded lineup including Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, Juice WRLD, and Eminem. There are two chances to catch it: the first show is at 2:00 PM ET, and if you miss that, there’s another one later on the same day!
What’s Coming in Fortnite Chapter 6?
Just like every other Fortnite Chapter, this chapter is based on a different theme and this time is a Japanese theme! You’ll see new areas on the map like shrines, rivers, plains, farmland, and forests. If you’re into crossovers, you’ll see both Godzilla and Baymax from Big Hero 6 joining the game.
Something else worth mentioning: Fortnite OG is coming back on December 6, and this time it’s staying. You’ll be able to play all ten seasons from Chapter 1, with all the original weapons and items. You can play it in both Build and Zero Build modes, so you can choose how you want to experience it.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Battle Pass and Pricing
The Battle Pass has seen some changes for Chapter 6. It now costs 1,000 V-Bucks, a slight increase from the previous 950. Players who want to get ahead can still purchase the Battle Bundle upgrade for 2,800 V-Bucks, which instantly advances you to Tier 25. Fortnite Crew subscribers get even more value, as their subscription now includes not just the Battle Pass but also the Music Pass and LEGO Pass.
Chapter 6 looks promising. The Japanese theme is something Fortnite hasn’t really explored before in-depth, and if the Chapter 6 leaks going around are true, we are in for a treat. Whether you’re interested in the new features or just want to play some OG Fortnite, there’s probably something in this update that’ll catch your interest.
