What season of Fortnite is it?

Fortnite always has something going on, with the staying power of the Epic Games battle royale (and its ever-growing roster of spinoffs) mainly based on its bumper content updates and themed chapters and seasons. These seem to fly past day after day, leaving many Fortnite players wondering where exactly the game’s up to right now.

Here’s what Fortnite‘s up to in its seemingly never-ending seasonal story.

Fortnite is currently in the middle of Chapter Six, season three. This is the 36th season of Epic’s long-running battle royale, titled “Super.”

The season brings back a nostalgic part of Fortnite’s history, where multiple original superheroes line up to face the threat of Daigo and his evil minions. Leading the effort is Superman, along with Agent Jonesy and Hope as they work together to use different superpowers and take down the enemy. If you land in the island right now, you’ll find different kinds of superpowers to use and defeat your foes.

The featured characters in this season include:

  • Superman
  • Robin
  • Haylee Skye
  • Ziggy
  • Synthwave
  • Killswitch
  • Lightrider
  • Morgan Myst

This season began on June 7 and is expected to wrap up by Aug. 7, 2025.

What season is Fortnite’s ranked mode in right now?

Fortnite ranked operates on the same timeline as the standard battle royale seasons, meaning it’s also Chapter Six, season three in the competitive mode. There’s never been a time when the Epic developers separated the two, meaning we can also very accurately predict when ranked play will reset: Thrusday, August 7, 2025

Current Fortnite Festival mode season

Unlike ranked, Fortnite Festival does run on its own system. The Fortnite-adjacent rhythm game is currently celebrating Season Nine, with this ninth season themed around Bruno Mars.

This season is scheduled to end in August and another musical artist should join the Festival after that. Each Fortnite Festival runs for three months.

Does Fortnite LEGO have seasons?

No, Fortnite LEGO doesn’t have standardized seasons like the Fortnite battle royale. This LEGO-themed spinoff game simply has regular updates that add things; nothing has been removed from Fortnite LEGO since it launched.
