Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 1 is almost here. Credit: Epic Games Update 12/03/2023. See updates below. It’s a big weekend for Fortnite fans. Fortnite OG, after less than a month-long season, has come to an end. The wildly popular season, which returned to the original map, saw over 100 million players over the course of November, making it the most popular season of the free-to-play Battle Royale game ever. The OG season was capped off by a massive live-event featuring rapper Eminem. The Big Bang event also showed off three new games coming to the Fortnite experience: LEGO Fortnite — A survival/crafting LEGO adventure. Rocket Racing — A racing game developed by Rocket League studio Psynonix. Fortnite Festival — A music game developed by Rock Band studio Harmonix where you can play in bands solo or with friends. This is kicking off with The Weeknd on December 9th LEGO Fortnite Credit: Epic Games The live-event was so popular that many players, including me, were met with hour-long queues and couldn’t login to join the fun. Fortunately, Epic is running the event two more times today. Now, Epic has disabled all Fortnite experiences and game modes except player-created content for the rest of the day as the game’s developers prepare for Chapter 5, Season 1. The new season is being called Underground. You can watch the trailer for the new season (featuring Family Guy’s Peter Griffin and Metal Gear’s Snake) right here. All of this is anticipation of the new Chapter 5, Season 1 and a brand new map. Servers will be going down later so that Epic can push the update. Server downtime kicks off at 11:30 pm ET / 8:30 pm PT. Typically these big seasonal updates take a few hours, and this one might take a bit longer…
