The season so many Fortnite fans have been waiting for is almost upon us! Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 officially begins this week as Fortnite OG, bringing with it so many nostalgic POIs. Read on to find the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 start time countdown with all the downtime details.
The new Fortnite season is set to release on Nov. 3, 2023, with downtime scheduled for 2 a.m. EST. This means you won’t be able to play for a few hours during that time. Downtime usually lasts for a few hours, so Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 should begin around 5 a.m. ET.
We will see the return of classic early POIs and landmarks when the new season begins, including many OG players’ favorites like Pleasant Park, Tilted Towers, and Greasy Grove. The return of the old Fortnite map has been rumored for years, and now it has finally been confirmed as real.
There will not only be old POIs to explore, but classic weapons will also be making a comeback. The one-shot beast of a heavy sniper is supposed to be returning alongside the favorite SCAR and tactical shotgun. Many players have been debating whether the old double-pump feature will also return, but that may just be wishful thinking.
There is also discussion about how quickly the map will change as the season progresses, so that will be fascinating to experience in real-time. Maybe it will be like those exciting moments we had with Kevin the Cube as we watched him move slowly around the map?
Regardless, it’s going to be a super quick season; possibly the quickest we have ever had! Make a note of the date and time, and be ready to jump on when the Fortnite servers go live again.
