Fortnite Season 5 is all set to launch later this week, and there are a whole lot of Fortnite Season 5 leaks to go through in the runup to the seasonal event. In this Fortnite Season 5 everything we know guide, we’ll be walking you through all you need to know about the upcoming event, including the Fortnite Season 5 launch date, the estimated Fortnite Season 5 Battle Pass cost, as well as potential Fortnite Season 5 skins.
But if you instead want a full guide to everything available right now in Fortnite Battle Royale, you’ll want to head over to our Fortnite Season 4 guides hub. Here you’ll be able to find a complete walkthrough guide for everything that was introduced back at the beginning of Season 4, so you’ve got an idea of the things to come in Season 5 for Fortnite.
Fortnite Season 5 Date
Late last month in June, Epic revealed that Fortnite Season 5 would start on Thursday, July 12. For a full list of the global times that Fortnite Season 5 will be starting on, check out the complete list just below:
- 12 am PST
- 3 am EST
- 8 am GMT
- 9 am CEST
Veteran Fortnite players who participated in past seasons of the Battle Royale game will know that this launches on Thursday, the same day that the weekly challenges traditionally go live on. Fortnite Season 5 is set to launch merely an hour before the Weekly Challenges typically go live however, so we’ll have to wait and see whether the Week 1, Season 5 Challenges for Battle Royale will be going live an hour after Season 5 launches.
Fortnite Season 5 Leaks
Earlier in the month, there was speculation going around that data miners had unearthed Fortnite Season 5 skins. This turned out to be nothing more than a hoax, as the ‘Stars & Stripes’ skins that were speculated for release in Season 5 actually ended up releasing as part of the July 4 celebration event.

There’s also been a lot of speculation that there’s going to be a whole new Fortnite map as part of Season 5. A YouTuber apparently has it on good authority that we’re going to be “going back in time” for Fortnite Season 5, visiting an earlier version of the same map. With nothing set in stone by Epic, this is all just speculation for now.
Fortnite Carriage
Over on Reddit, a Fortnite player discovered that a carriage has appeared on the Battle Royale map. No one’s really sure what this means right now, but it could have a part to play in Season 5 later this week.
