Fortnite Chapter 4 is now very close to reaching its finale. While the new map may have only arrived a few seasons ago, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 is due to launch very soon! Between some early leaks and clues from Epic, we have a good idea of what’s coming with Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4. This is the climax for the current Chapter, and Epic has been making promises of the last half of 2025 being one of the biggest periods we’ve ever seen for the game.
As with new starts in all Fortnite seasons, some leaks have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect. There’s a fair bit of content which has already leaked for the new Season. Between this and how the seasons have been run so far, we have a strong idea of what we can look forward to with Fortnite C4 S4. So, what can we expect when the new Fortnite Season starts?

New Theme – Heists
One of the big things we already know about Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 is the theme. Since the very start of the teasers for the next Chapter, they’ve been hinting that players will be tasked with performing heists. It seems there will be POIs with plenty of hidden areas that you’ll need to infiltrate and then loot!
This theme has been reflected in the new skins that we’ve seen, but also in the POIs and even the weapons. We’ve got Heist bags coming, a pretty mysterious item that likely ties in with this theme. That’s along with spy style gear like a briefcase that turns into a turret! All of this is perfect for infiltration and the new theme for the season.
Map Change
One area that Epic’s managed to keep under wraps so far is the new map addition. This is often the first thing to leak, but it’s been quiet this time around. What we can likely assume is that it’ll match the map changes we’ve had for the past three Chapters. Chapter 4 has seen new Biomes get added into the game rather than changes made across the whole map. It seems more likely than not that this will be the plan for Season 4 too.
So far, Epic has already shown off one spot which might be a brand-new POI. It seems to be a large house, possibly something that can get raided. This will likely tie into the new heist theme of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4. In terms of other changes, we can expect more than this though.
Legendary Augments and Mechanics in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4
Augments were the main new feature for Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 4 is taking them a step further though. It looks like we’re getting Legendary Augments which are a higher tier of power that unlocks. There are three that leakers think are coming at launch. That’ll be Reboot, which gives you a respawn, shield increase, which lets you have a bigger shield bar and siphon. The final one uses the much-missed siphon mechanic that restores some health and shield upon getting an elim.
Other new mechanics that have been in the files for a while now are wall running, double jump, and jump slides. It’s unknown if these are coming with Fortnite C4 S4 though. Especially considering the mess that happened with Chapter 4’s main movement upgrade, hurdling.
Collabs
Collabs are always a big part of the new Fortnite season so what’s scheduled for Chapter 4 Season 4? Doctor Who was one of the big ones planned, with an event pass and multiple skins. However, this has now been delayed into January. This likely pushes it out of Chapter 4 Season 4. Instead, it seems we’re getting the Lego collab in November. It’s unknown if this will be part of this season or a big feature to launch Chapter 5 though.

Upcoming Weapons and Exotics
Once of the most exciting parts of any update is the new weapons. Epic has a habit of leaving these in the files for quite a while before release. While we don’t know for certain these are coming in Fortnite C4 S4, with the season after being a new Chapter it’s more likely that they’ll show up. These are the new weapons that have been found for Chapter 4 Season 4.
- Balloon Sniper
- Gas Sniper
- Slug Projectile Shotgun
- Flare Shotgun (Different from Dragon’s Breath)
- Rift Pistol
- Gas Grenade Launcher
- Firefly Grenade Launcher
- Boogie Bomb Grenade Launcher
New and Returning Mythics
Tons of older Mythics are scduled to be returning for the new season! We might be getting a few new ones, but it seems Epic is bringing back a lot of the Mythic weapons that we previously saw in Chapter 2 Season 2. These are some of the items we’ve seen so far in files and Fortnite leaks.
- TNTina’s Ka-Boom Power
- Midas’ Drum Gun
- Mythic Chug Jug
- Mythic Havoc Pump
- Gunner’s Stinger
- Foundation’s MK-Seven AR
- Mythic Shockwave Grenade Launcher
These are pretty much the highlights of the past Fortnite Mythics we’ve gotten. Why are so many coming back? It seems like these might be the items that players have to heist! Given that the season is built around that, it makes sense to have enough Mythics to let quite a few players undertake heists each game, and walk away with loot to make it all worthwhile.
Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass
The Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass has been the subject of quite a few skin teasers. So far, we’ve had new characters shown off that include a muscle-bound version of the Fishsticks skin! Alongside that, it seems TikToker Khaby Lame will be a part of the Chapter 4 Season 4 skins too.
Fortnite C4 S4 Start and End Date
Those are some of the bigger features we’ve seen get announced for Fortnite chapter 4 Season 4. When can we expect it to actually hit the game though? According to Epic’s in-game timer, the date when the Fortnite season ends is August 25th. This means the new season will likely release on that date. The season will probably run through to November or December when a brand-new season and fresh Chapter for the game is due to start.
