Fortnite Reveals Chapter 6 Season 1 Release Date and Official Keyart

Fortnite developer and publisher Epic Games has officially confirmed the release date for Chapter 6 Season 1 along with the first piece of keyart for the highly-anticipated content update. After months of rumors and speculation, Epic has confirmed that Fortnite Chapter 6 will be titled ‘Hunters’ and will officially kick off on Sunday, December 1, featuring Godzilla, Disney’s Baymax, and much more.

Details on the next chapter of Fortnite have been relatively sparse in terms of official news, but Epic did recently confirm that the fan-favorite OG mode will be returning to Fortnite on December 6, which we now know will be just five days after the launch of Chapter 6. Fans first got to experience Fortnite OG back in November 2023, with the special season bringing back the Battle Royale’s original map, weapons, and more. The OG season was a massive success for Epic Games, bringing in over 44.7 million players in just a single day, making it the biggest day in Fortnite‘s history. Now, shortly after the launch of Chapter 6 Season 1, Epic is bringing back Fortnite OG as a separate game mode for fans to enjoy.
