Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is almost here and looks to take us back to nature after the futuristic Chapter 4 Season 2, here's when you can jump in.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 is one of the best seasons of the game yet. thanks to great crossovers like the Star Wars event Find the Force and the ongoing Fortnite x Spider-Verse crossover and of course the Eren Jaeger Battle Pass skin all of which brought exciting new mythic items to the game. Plus the futuristic anime-inspired style aesthetic of the season made for some great new areas.
We already know a bit about Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 thanks to a series of leaks over the weekend (including an Optimus Prime skin in the battle pass – which has me hyped), but when can we jump into the jungle biomes promised in these leaked images, thankfully Epic Games has let us know when we can expect the brand new season.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 release date
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 will launch on Friday, June 9. Chapter 4 Season 2 is set to end on Friday, June 9 at 7am BST / 2am EDT and on Thursday, June 8 at 11pm PDT. While Epic Games hasn't confirmed an exact start time for the season yet, you can expect to jump in a few hours after Chapter 4 Season 2 ends (we'll update with an official time as soon as we know)
Looking ahead Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is likely to come to an end on September 23, 2023. This date is based on Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 which began on June 4 and ended on September 18 last year. Obviously, the exact date is speculative (we won't know until Epic Games announces when Chapter 4 Season 3 launches), but it's safe to assume that Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 will come to an end in September 2023.

As much as I love the futuristic Mega City, I'm excited to get back to jungle biomes in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3. The Jurassic Park-esque Stealthy Stronghold from Fortnite Chapter 2 is one of my favourite areas in the history of the game, so more areas like that are fine by me.
