Fortnite’s v25.00 update was a big one, bringing huge map changes, a Transformers crossover, and some fun Raptor friends you can ride across the island.

Even with all this new content, that never stopped players from thinking about the next seasonal update. Thankfully, the new season is almost here, and with a heist theme, being sneaky might be the name of the game.

Here’s everything you need to know about the kick-off of Fortnite Chapter Four, season four, including season three’s end date.

What time does Fortnite season three end?

Fortnite Chapter Four, season three is currently scheduled to end at 1am CT on Friday, Aug. 25. While Epic Games haven’t confirmed this, we do know this date thanks to the battle pass, which has a countdown timer.

Fortnite Chapter Four, season three start date

With that in mind, Fortnite Chapter Four, season three will begin on Friday, Aug. 25, following a period of downtime instituted by Epic.

Downtime is expected to begin at 1am CT / 7am BST / 4pm AEST.

Fortnite Chapter Four, season four teasers

There’s already been a number of teasers for the new season, all featuring an interesting eclipse icon in the background.

The first teaser dropped on Aug. 20 and showed blueprints of a building. The tweet reads: “Cameras, guards, vaults, and the best team in the business. Are you in?” The eclipse logo can be spotted in the top right of the image.

The second teaser from Aug. 21 shows the shadowy figure of a woman, who looks like she may be speaking into a walkie-talkie. She is surrounded by lasers like you would see in a heist movie and stands in front of the eclipse.

Finally, on Aug. 22, a muscly figure was dropped by Epic Games, once again asking if you’re “in.”

It seems likely that these characters are part of the team ready to commit the heist, and perhaps the eclipse is their logo. This new faction may be found across the island, offering you challenges to complete to earn Gold Bars and rewards.

For now, though, we’ll just have to keep an eye out for more teasers and hope they reveal what we’re trying to steal when the heist gets underway on Aug. 25.
