Epic is preparing to launch Fortnite Season 4 later this month. Amid an ongoing legal battle with Apple and Google, the studio has started to promote teasers for the upcoming season, including a big cameo from Marvel Comics. Read on for all the details.

When Does Fortnite Season 4 Start?

Epic has revealed that Fortnite Season 4 will begin on August 27, 2020. The studio confirmed the launch date in a blog post regarding the upcoming Free Fortnite tournament. That tourney is another move intended to put pressure on Apple and Google, both by offering exclusive prizes and encouraging players to send feedback to the platform-holders. The tournament will be held on Sunday, August 23.

Since the legal dispute between Epic and the mobile storefronts for Apple and Google began, Epic has used the imminent launch of Season 4 to rally its player base to complain about the game's removal from its store. That indicated that the launch wasn't too far off, but the company only recently announced exactly when.
