Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 – What we know so far

Saptarshika B.By Updated:4 Mins Read News

If you are a fan of Fortnite, you already know the month of June is going to be action-packed. The arrival of a new season is always exciting, but a series of recent leaks has left the community craving for more information about Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3.

Here is a quick rundown of everything we know so far.

Disclaimer: Information based on leaks should be taken with a grain of salt.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 release date

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 is expected to end on June 9, 2023. Consequently, depending on how Epic Games schedules the downtime, we can expect to drop onto the Season 3 map sometime on June 9 or June 10.

Environment

ShiinaBR and HYPEX revealed on Twitter that Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 will have a jungle biome with a tropical theme. It is unclear where this area will be located. Since Mega City and its surrounding POIs arrived in the game just this season, it may be fair to assume that Epic would let us enjoy this biome a bit longer. The medieval biome, on the other hand, was added in Season 1, so players would not mind some modifications there.

To make things more interesting, it seems that Epic Games recently added files for palm trees, Joshua trees, and cacti to the game. Some are wondering whether Epic will add a separate desert biome in the upcoming season. While there is a chance we may see two new biomes in Season 3, it is more likely that these fauna will be scattered around the island or confined to a small desert landmark.

An active volcano will probably be added to the island as well, validating the rumors about a Mega City-volcanic eruption storyline. The volcanic rocks and the geysers near Mega City could make for some interesting developments.

Mud feature

Season 3 is expected to have muddy areas that will induce a slow effect. Both players and vehicles will have a difficult time traversing the mud, which will presumably be a part of the jungle biome. We may witness the return of off-road tires or even the introduction of a new heavy-duty vehicle.

Possible Battle Pass skins

GMatrixGames revealed the codenames for a few Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass cosmetic items on Twitter – CinderMax, LoudPhoenix, CrispRover, RippedHarvester, ZirconSweep, and SilentTempo. The names align closely with the rumored tropical jungle-volcano theme.

Recent leaks about survey Outfits and character redesigns also have the community heavily speculating about what they can expect in the next season.

Car racing mode

According to leaker @Krowe_moh, Fortnite will introduce a proper car racing game mode within the next five months. It will have a casual mode for low-stakes entertaining gameplay, while its competitive mode will come with 18 ranked divisions.

Ranked mode

Much to the excitement of the Fortnite community, the official social media channels of the game teased a ranked mode on May 12, 2023. Many assumed that it would be limited to the racing mode that Epic Games is working on, but Fortnite Competitive posting the same tweet fueled discussion on whether Battle Royale will also get a proper ranked mode finally. Arena has been unsatisfactory for some time now.

Events

Fortnite’s 2023 Summer Event is reportedly starting July 4 and will run for two weeks. There will be two separate questlines connecting back to the “Mural” Event and the “Propping” Event. The community can expect many free rewards.

Also, Epic Games is allegedly working on a live event codenamed “Durian”, whose purpose could be ushering in Season 3.
