When was the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 release date? The season came after Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson voiced the leader of the Seven and flipped an entire map upside down to save catastrophe.
The battle royale game once again featured well-known personalities, as Brie Larson voiced ‘The Paradigm’, another member of the Seven who seemed to be jumping through dimensions. What else did we see in Chapter 4 Season 1?
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 release date
The Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 release date was December 4, 2022. This was confirmed in a tweet by Epic Games as well as multiple notorious leakers at the time.
Fortnite Chapter 3 finale start time
The Chapter 3 Season 4 finale event began on December 3, 2022, at 9pm / 4pm ET / 1pm PT. You could start waiting 30 minutes before the start of the event in a special ‘Fracture’ playlist that was available for parties of up to four players. Upon the event’s conclusion, the game entered a period of downtime while Epic Games made the necessary adjustments for the new Chapter.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 map changes
A new Fortnite map was initially discovered by GMatrixGames. The new map was briefly known in the game’s code as ‘Artemis’, continuing the Greek God naming structure. They explain that this isn’t a link to a new map for Fortnite Creative 2.0 as the code refers to this mode as Valkyrie.
Changes to the map are nothing new, as the island has constantly been in flux. Further points of interest popped up thanks to the influence of the Reality Tree. On top of that, Chapter 3 Season 4 saw an infection of a mysterious liquid known only as chrome take over the island.
We were also shown a map change in the cinematic trailer, as we saw Brie Larson’s Paradigm use the Zero Point hidden in Loot Lake to head to Reality 659.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 features
One of the more prolific data miners, Hypex, uncovered some leaks for features that arrived in Chapter 4 Season 1:
- First person mode
- Motorcycles as a new vehicle
- Rideable flying animals
- A new cosmetic type (Codename: Apparel)
Unreal Editor for Fortnite
One thing didn’t land in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 from the start is the updated Fortnite Creative mode. Now dubbed Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), this is a more robust map-creation tool that gives creators more freedom. It was initially reported that this would be coming with the start of Fortnite Chapter 4, but Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, confirmed to a question from Hypex that “the Unreal Editor for Fortnite has been delayed to late January 2023”.
