Despite the current Fortnite season being delayed more times than a writer putting off starting a new article, it seems this has not had an effect on future seasons.
Chapter 2 Season 3 has had players on tenterhooks as the water levels have receded, revealing more and more of the new map.
However, the best addition this season is definitely the cars - and the playlists that blast over their radios!
Here's everything we know about Season 4, including the start date and confirmation of no delays.

What To Expect

We don't know a lot at this stage, but there will likely be some map changes, and definitely a new Battle Pass with skins and emotes to unlock.
However, fans are predicting Thor to appear as a secret skin.
This is based off some datamined assets which resemble the marks Thor leaves when he teleports around the Bifrost in the MCU films.
It would also tie in with the Marvel's Avengers game coming a week after the new season starts.
We know Virgin Media customers get an exclusive Avengers skin, but maybe Fortnite players will access an exclusive skin which bridges across both games?
It seems unlikely, but you never know!
