Fortnite players are already buzzing about the start of Chapter 6. Even though the current Chapter 2: Remix season has just kicked off, it’s set to last only a month. That means we’ll soon be looking ahead to the next major update. Speculation is rife about the upcoming Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass theme, with recent leaks suggesting that the return of Fortnite OG will be a regular feature going forward. This news is sure to thrill both new and veteran players alike.
Epic Games is not the type to sit back and relax, so they’re already thinking about what comes next for Fortnite. Expect more changes as this chapter unfolds and beyond. If you’re curious about what Chapter 6 Season 1 might bring, here’s a roundup of what we know so far.
When does Fortnite Chapter 6 start?
Fortnite Chapter 6 is anticipated to launch on Sunday, December 1, 2024. While Epic Games has yet to confirm this, it aligns with the details shown on the Chapter 2: Remix Battle Pass, which indicates that the current Battle Pass ends on December 1 at 2 a.m. EST. Moreover, Epic has announced that the live event, Remix: The Finale, will occur on November 30 at 2 p.m. EST, suggesting that Chapter 6 will follow after that with a downtime period for the transition.
What major changes can we expect in Fortnite Chapter 6?
As Epic has just launched the current season, they haven’t revealed any official details about what to expect in Fortnite Chapter 6 or any major changes coming. However, leaked information suggests that the theme for Chapter 6 Season 1 might revolve around Samurai and Japanese mythology, including new map areas like “Shrine,” Rivers, Plains, Farmland, and Forest.
Additionally, leaks from HYPEX and Shiina indicate that along with Chapter 6, Fortnite OG will also become available regularly. This will include all ten seasons from Chapter 1 and a complete OG loot pool, supporting both Build and Zero Build modes. It’s anticipated that this announcement will be made at The Game Awards on December 12, so mark your calendars!
What will the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass cost?
While Fortnite is free to play, purchasing the Battle Pass offers a wealth of rewards. The Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass is expected to cost the usual 950 V-Bucks, roughly translating to the lowest V-Bucks bundle priced at $8.99 or £6.99, which gives you 1,000 V-Bucks.
If you want a jumpstart, you can buy the Battle Bundle upgrade, which takes you directly to Tier 25 for 2,800 V-Bucks. That’s approximately $22.99 or £17.49 for 2,500 V-Bucks plus an additional 300 V-Bucks free.
If spending money isn’t your thing, you can try to earn free V-Bucks for the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass—just be cautious of online scams! Remember, you only need to save up 950 V-Bucks to unlock the new Chapter 6 Battle Pass starting in December 2024.
That wraps up everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 for now. Stay tuned for updates, as we’ll share all the latest information as soon as it’s revealed!
