FORTNITE – WHEN DOES FORTNITE SEASON 3 FINISH? WHEN WILL FORTNITE SEASON 4 LAUNCH?

Epic Games rolled out Fortnite season 3 back on February 22 2018.

The third season of the Battle Pass was released on PS4, Xbox One, PCs and Mac after a delay of a day.

While the official Fortnite Twitter page did not confirm when season 3 would finish, it was revealed on the game’s Reddit page.

Redditor JustMooney1, who is an Epic Games community co-ordinator, said Fortnite season 3 has an end date of Monday April 30 2018.

That means Fortnite season 3 is running for 68 days – roughly the same amount of time that Fortnite season 2 went on for.

Epic Games has not confirmed a release date for Fortnite season 4, with plenty of time still left to play through the season 3 campaign.

But, judging by JustMooney’s comments on Reddit, Fortnite season 4 should drop on Tuesday May 1.
