In an effort to get players excited for the next season update in Fortnite, Epic Games co-founder Mark Rein has made an announcement on his Twitter page revealing the theme of the upcoming season: "rewind." Fortnite fans have been speculating for quite a while about the changes that the game's next season update will bring, and many of the most popular theories in the community have now been confirmed.
A new season in Fortnite always entails a host of changes and updates to the game, and each season tends to have a defining theme for its content. Fans have long debated which Fortnite season brought the best content to the game, with some clearly emerging as more popular than others.
A new season of Fortnite is fast approaching, and fans now have confirmation of the upcoming content's central theme. Epic Games co-founder Mark Rein took to Twitter on October 26 to reveal the new season's theme, which he summed up in a single word: "rewind." This teasing revelation served to confirm widespread speculation, based on certain hints spotted within Fortnite in recent weeks, that the new season would see players travel back in time to a previous stage of the game's development.
This post comes alongside official confirmation from Epic that the iconic Fortnite Chapter 1 map will be returning. Many fans have been confidently speculating that this would be the case for some time, based on several different pieces of evidence dropped into the game in recent weeks. One of the strongest indicators of a return to Chapter 1 was a dormant time machine recently added to the map, with the date July 12 2018 marked on it. This was the launch date of Chapter 1 Season 5, suggesting that the newest season of Fortnite would return to this time period. It has now been officially confirmed that fans' interpretation of these hints was correct, and the Chapter 1 map will return on November 3.
The return of Chapter 1's map is sure to excite longtime players with fond memories of the game's original setting, as well as newer players who never got to experience the widely beloved Chapter 1 for themselves. With the current Fortnite season scheduled to end on November 3 and the new season expected to begin very shortly thereafter, fans will only have to wait one more week to see this hotly anticipated update take effect.
Fortnite is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
