With Chapter 4 Season 4 slated to end around November 3, 2023, players are excitedly speculating about what the next season will bring.

HYPEX, a reputable leaker, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share this exciting piece of information. In a post, HYPEX explained how the next Fortnite season is set to have an end event with a countdown starting on November 21, 2023, with the season itself set to end on December 3, 2023.

HYPEX's tweet also alludes to an extended downtime after the Chapter 4 Season 5 event, reminiscent of Chapter 1 Season X with the black hole. This means that the event will bring significant in-game changes, with possible alterations to the map and mechanics. Such changes are often accompanied by extended downtime periods, giving developers the time needed to make these in-game adjustments.

Another possible similarity that the event could share with Chapter 1 Season X is the event bringing extensive alterations to the lobby. Since the lobbies have always been representative of the Fortnite world, these changes could hint at the map being notably transformed.


Chapter 4 Season 5's possible connections to Chapter 1

One of the most exciting aspects of Chapter 4 Season 5 is its potential connection and return to Chapter 1 Season 5. The speculation comes from a previous report by another reputed leaker, ShiinaBR, which claimed that players would be taken back to the OG Chapter 1 map due to Kado Thorne's time machine malfunctioning.

If the machine malfunctioning is indeed true, players, along with the map, could be sent through a rift in the space-time continuum. The rumor also claims that the map will be going through fast-paced changes up until the end of November.

Such a journey through Fortnite's history would be an incredibly exciting prospect, with Epic Games allowing both old and new players to experience the earlier chapters of the game.


Fortnite's live events have consistently impressed players with their immersive and cinematic experiences, more often than not shaping the game's narrative in substantial ways. The rumoured live event for Chapter 4 Season 5 is no exception to this and will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience for the fans.
