When does Fortnite Season 7 start?
Fortnite Season 6 and the Season 6 Battle Pass end Thursday, Dec. 6. Fortnite Season 7 is expected to start either later that day or on Friday, Dec. 7. Previous seasons have historically kicked off on a Thursday, so Dec. 6 seems the most likely. Here are the usual start times for Fornite Seasons:
- 4 a.m. ET
- 1 a.m. PT
- 10 a.m. CEST
- 9 a.m. BST
Dec. 6 also happens to coincide with The Game Awards. Mega-popular Fortnite streamer Ninja is both nominated for an award and presenting for the show, so there’s a good chance we’ll see a big reveal trailer alongside other major announcements from the games industry.
When will Fortnite Season 7 end?
The Fortnite Season 7 end date should fall ten weeks after the start on Thursday, Feb. 14, 2019.
How much does the Fortnite Season 7 Battle Pass cost?
Like the previous seasons, the Fortnite Season 7 Battle Pass should cost 950 V-Bucks. You can buy 1,000 V-Bucks for $10. While there’s a free Battle Pass for players who don’t want to spend their hard earned cash, you’ll only unlock the most sought after exclusive skins, emotes, and other cosmetics by completing challenges to progress through the premium Battle Pass’ 100 levels.
Fortnite Season 7 Theme and Map Changes
After an exploding giant cube transformed Loot Lake into Leaky Lake in the closing weeks of Season 6, things have gotten a little quieter around the Fortnite map — that’s all about to change.
All the signs point to a winter theme for Season 7, with a possible medieval theme once the Christmas period comes to an end. Here’s what we know so far.
The first sign of a cold front came with the appearance of a blizzard in the middle of November, which was visible when peering out beyond the map from Flush Factory.
A week later, the snow storm parted to reveal a massive iceberg. At the same time, players started noticing you could now see your avatar’s breath in the cold when standing on the starting island.
This is sooo subtle but brilliant – you can now see your breath on the starting island in Fortnite, conveniently the piece of land nearest to the incoming snowstorm. pic.twitter.com/TiSgkeYAFL

The map changes seem to suggest we’ll be treated to a range of skins and other items that fit a winter theme. There’s also the chance the iceberg could collide with an existing area of the map — data-mined files are once again suggesting Tilted Towers could be a target.
However, this could all just be the tip of the iceberg (get it?).
Eagle-eyed players have now noticed the top of a medieval-style castle poking out of the iceberg (see image above), indicating the rest of the building is encased in the ice.
This could also tie-in with the portal technology in the Wailing Woods laboratory, which shows a reflection of a castle at certain angles.
We’ll know more as Epic begins to further tease Season 7 this week ahead of the full launch.
