Fornite Season 5 will launch later today, developer Epic Games has confirmed.

Season 4 will wrap up at 6.00pm AEST tonight, 12 July, with downtime to prepare the game’s 5.0 patch immediately afterward. Season 5 will kick off as soon as the downtime — usually, about an hour — is up.

Epic has promised to release patch notes that will detail Season 5 as soon as the downtime begins; stay tuned for those as soon as they’re available.

What do you think we’ll see with Season 5?

Fornite is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
