The Fantastic Four: The First Steps skins can now be earned in Fortnite. A collection of goodies inspired by The Fantastic Four will arrive in the game’s Item Shop just in time for the movie’s release on July 25, 2025, including limited-time Outfits based on Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing.

Players will also have the opportunity to unlock all four in the Fantastic Four Cup, a Battle Royale Squads Cup, which is taking place on July 23.

Fortnite Chapter 6 is finally here, continuing with Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 which has switched up the map once again. There’s new weapons to try out, a superhero-themed Battle Pass, as well as updates centered around Superman himself.

We don’t yet know exactly what’s to follow in the next season of Fortnite, but given Fortnite Super just launched, it could be a while before we get any hints from Epic Games. It’s frequent updates like these that make Fortnite one of the best battle royale games around. Last season concluded June 7 with a climactic Star Wars live event, before Chapter 6 Season 3 went live across the world.

Here’s everything you need to know about the process of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 launching, when the next season starts, and what to expect from Fortnite in the future. Also, the latest on what’s been revealed about Superman, and other superhero skins.

Fortnite Super will end on August 8, 2025. So far, no details have been shared on specific timings, though the in-game Battle Pass menu does count down to the update. We’ll be sure to provide details closer to launch, but expect the new season to launch after a period of extended downtime.

The next season of Fortnite has yet to be fully revealed, but it’ll launch following downtime on August 8, 2025. Hopefully, downtime is only 2-3 hours (based on the average times of Chapter 6 so far), but it’s worth noting that things have been known to slip slightly in the past.

Epic Games has not fully revealed what’s in store for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4, but given that the current one only just launched, we’ll be waiting at least a month for updates. What we do know is that Superman will arrive in Fortnite on July 11, with quests going live that’ll reward you with a Superman Skin and related cosmetic items.

Here’s the full map for Fortnite Super. As you can see in the image above, there’s still some Star Wars locations like Outpost Enclave, First Order Base, and Resistance Base. The new locations are Supernova Academy, Utopia City, and Demon’s Domain. Sprites have been turned into mascots, but work the same way as before, with different abilities like laser-vision.
