When does Fortnite Chapter 6 start? (2024)

When does Fortnite Chapter 6 start is the question more players are now asking, as although it feels like the current Chapter 2: Remix season is only just getting going, due to its short nature there is another major update that is merely a week or so away. On top of leaks suggesting what the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass theme will be, we now have confirmation that Fortnite OG will also be returning as part of the next chapter, meaning players that are both new and established can go back to experience the original battle royale.

Epic aren't known for resting on their laurels and will already be planning the next stage of development in Fortnite, so there will certainly be more changes brought in during the course of this chapter and beyond. If you're looking ahead and wondering what Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 may have in store, then here's everything we know about it so far.

What will be the biggest changes made for Fortnite Chapter 6?

As Epic have only recently launched the current season, they haven't officially said anything yet about what the theme of Fortnite Chapter 6 will be or any significant changes that are planned – there has recently been the addition of Fortnite Kicks cosmetics after a delay to resolve some issues, and an overhaul of the locker for loadouts, which is already quite a big adjustment. However, leaked information that tallies with previous player surveys suggests that the Chapter 6 Season 1 theme will be based around Samurai and Japanese mythology, and will include map biomes "Shrine", Rivers, Plains, Farmland, and Forest.

However, following leaks from HYPEX and Shiina suggesting that alongside Fortnite Chapter 6 players will also get access to Fortnite OG on a monthly basis, this has now been officially confirmed by Epic. This will include all ten seasons from Chapter 1 and a full OG loot pool, with both Build and Zero Build modes supported, though it will arrive on December 6 so potentially a few days after Chapter 6 begins. It was expected that this would be officially announced at The Game Awards on December 12, so keep an eye out on that date to see if we get any further details then.

How much will the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass cost?

Fortnite is free to play, but buying the Battle Pass will get you lots of additional rewards. The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass will likely be available for the usual 950 V-Bucks, which means it will be enough to purchase the smallest V-Bucks bundle in the Fortnite store, priced at $8.99 / £6.99 to get you 1,000 V-Bucks.

It's possible to get a head start by buying the Battle Bundle upgrade. This will get you to Tier 25 on the Battle Pass instantly. Doing so will cost you 2,800 V-Bucks, which you can get for $22.99 / £17.49 (2,500 V-Bucks, plus 300 for free).

If you don't want to spend any money, you can always try to get free Fortnite V-Bucks for the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass, but don't fall for online scams! If you choose to save up some V-Bucks, remember that you only need to collect 950 of them to unlock the next Fortnite Battle Pass starting in December 2024.

And that's all we know about Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 for now, but keep checking back and we'll have all of the details as soon as they're revealed!
