Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 kicked off on August 16, 2024, and it’s already bringing the heat.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Fortnite’s secret sauce is its regular stream of updates that keep the game fresh and the players hooked. Each update focuses on improving things or introducing something new, be it amazing guns, nice crossovers, or sneaky map changes.

What to Expect in the Next Update?

You may wonder and you should: “But what’s actually in the update?” While Epic Games likes to play their cards close to their chest, a few things have slipped through the cracks. Given that we’re in the thick of a Marvel-themed season, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to expect more superhero antics. There’s even some rumor that the Fantastic Four might make an appearance, although rumor has it they might be a little worse for wear after a run-in with Doctor Doom.

These update patches don’t just fix bugs or keep the game running smoothly—they bring in new quests, balance the weapons (because we all know that one guy who’s just a little too good with the new shotgun), and keep the gameplay as exciting and unique. So, that’s all for now but will update the post if these dates have any changes.
