Fortnite Chapter 6: "Hunters" Release Date and Details Revealed

The wait is almost over for Fortnite enthusiasts, as Chapter 6 is set to launch in just a few days. After a month of throwbacks in Chapter 2 Remix, the new chapter will bring a slew of new changes, including a fresh Battle Pass, new weapons, and a Japanese culture-inspired theme.

When Does Fortnite Chapter 6 Begin?

Fortnite Chapter 6, officially titled "Hunters," is scheduled to start on Sunday, December 1st. However, the exact time of the chapter's beginning is still unknown. The Chapter 2 Remix finale event, a Juice WRLD concert, will take place on November 30th at 2:00 pm ET, followed by a second showing later in the day. After the concert, the servers will go offline to prepare for the update, which typically takes around 6-10 hours.

What to Expect in Fortnite Chapter 6

The new chapter will introduce a fresh Battle Pass, featuring a ton of new character skins inspired by Japanese culture, including samurai, ninjas, and more. Notable skins include Baymax from Disney's Big Hero 6 and Godzilla, with the latter being shrunk down to human size. The Battle Pass will also be available for "free" to Fortnite Crew subscribers, who will also receive the Music Pass and LEGO Pass as part of their membership.

Battle Pass Pricing and Details

For those who want to purchase the Battle Pass alone, it will be slightly more expensive than before, priced at 1,000 V-Bucks ($8.99) compared to the previous 950 V-Bucks. Fortnite Crew subscribers, on the other hand, will receive the Battle Pass as part of their membership, along with the Music Pass and LEGO Pass, making it a great value for dedicated players.
