Fortnite always has something going on, with the staying power of the Epic Games battle royale (and its ever-growing roster of spinoffs) mainly based around its bumper content updates and themed chapters and seasons. These seem to fly past day after day, leaving many Fortnite players wondering where exactly the game’s up to right now.
Here’s where Fortnite‘s up to in its seemingly never-ending seasonal story.

What Fortnite season is it?
Fortnite is currently in the middle of Chapter Five, season four. This is the 31st season in Epic’s long-running battle royale and is titled “Absolute Doom.”
The season is Marvel themed and mostly revolves around the ongoing battle to overcome iconic Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom. The narrative in this Fortnite season began after Doctor Doom opened and absorbed Pandora’s Box, with the villain then wielding his new powers to form a new Kingdom of Doom on the map.
The featured characters in this season include:
- Captain Jones
- War Machine
- Shuri
- Gwenpool
- Peelverine
- Mysterio
- Emma Frost
- Doom
- Llama
- PJ
- Doggo
This season began on Aug. 16 and is expected to wrap up by Nov. 2.
What season is Fortnite’s ranked mode in right now?
Fortnite ranked operates on the same timeline as the standard battle royale seasons, meaning its also Chapter Five, season four in the competitive mode. There’s never been a time when the two have been separated by the Epic developers, meaning we can also very accurately predict when ranked play will reset: Saturday, Nov. 2.
Current Fortnite Festival mode season
Unlike ranked, Fortnite Festival does run on its own system. The Fortnite-adjacent rhythm game is currently celebrating Season Five, with this fifth season themed around Karol G.
This season is scheduled to end at the same time as Chapter Five, season four in the mainline game, though unified wrap-ups aren’t always the case between the two.
Does Fortnite LEGO have seasons?
No, Fortnite LEGO doesn’t have standardized seasons like the Fortnite battle royale. This LEGO-themed spinoff game simply has regular updates that adds things to the game; nothing has been removed from Fortnite LEGO since it launched.
The latest content added to the LEGO playlist was a Star Wars expansion, which added lightsabers, Rebel villages, crashed Imperial Star Destroyers, and tennis star Naomi Osaka.
