Fortnite OG Season 4 start date for the next throwback season
The Fortnite OG Season 4 release date is fast approaching, with the new season set to bring a host of classic content, as well as a tease that the game could be set to change history in the classic mode
The upcoming Fortnite OG season is set to bring a significant change to the beloved island, if the latest teaser is anything to go by.
Since Fortnite OG launched as a standalone mode, it's managed to find its footing pretty fast. The introduction of an exclusive pass for players, and throwback to classic seasons along with their cosmetics has been a game-changer, particularly as it allows players to revisit iconic POIs and annihilate enemies with weapons that have been inactive in Fortnite for years.
This is a refreshing contrast to the current mainline season, which includes a new Mandalorian Fortnite skin and Jar Jar Binks NPC in a Star Wars crossover that got its own dedicated mini season.
The upcoming Fortnite OG Season 4 is on its way, so you might want to wrap up that OG Pass quickly before the introduction of a new season reflecting the game's fourth ever season, aptly named Brace for Impact. This is well-timed, as the superhero-themed classic season aligns with Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, which is also speculated to feature spandex-wearing heroes.
But when exactly can we anticipate the launch of Fortnite OG Season 4, and what will it include? Here's everything you need to know about the Fortnite OG Season 4 release date and the forthcoming content drop.
Fortnite OG Season 4 release date
The release date for Fortnite OG Season 4 is scheduled for Saturday, June 7 at 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT, and Sunday, June 8 at 12am BST. This date has been verified by the Battle Pass screen for the OG Season 3 Pass, coinciding with the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 release date which was recently brought forward a day, as disclosed by @ShiinaBR.
The time is an estimate based on the current OG pass's end time, with the anticipated five-hour season-spanning downtime added on top. This time is not yet confirmed, but it's a fairly solid estimate.
The timing of the new season couldn't be more perfect, as it coincides with an original superhero-themed Chapter 4 and the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, which is also set to feature a mix of original and licensed superheroes.
What can we expect from Fortnite OG Season 4?
Currently, there's just a single teaser hinting at the arrival of Fortnite OG Season 4. But before diving into that, let's look back at the content introduced in the iconic Chapter 1 Season 4.
Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 4 saw the introduction of characters The Visitor and Carbide, the deployment of the Burst Assault Rifle and Drum Gun, and the memorable meteor strike on Dusty Depot, scattering debris across the map and altering numerous points of interest.
Epic Games has started to drop hints about Fortnite OG Season 4, tweeting an image of a glitched television screen with the mysterious caption "anyone got eyes on Tilted," suggesting a historic twist where the meteor hits Tilted Towers instead of Dusty Depot. It's a daring move, especially since OG aims to serve up a hearty slice of nostalgia, however, it undeniably adds a unique flair to the mode.
The release date for Fortnite OG Season 4 is fast approaching, and if the hints from Fortnite are to be believed, this could be a daring move for the mode, taking inspiration from the classic season and flipping it upside down. You may want to loot Tilted Towers before it disappears once more.

Midlothian man quit school after making £10k a month managing Fortnite players from bedroom
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Get the latest Edinburgh Live breaking news on WhatsApp A young Midlothian man quit school after earning £10,000 a month managing some of the world's biggest online gamers from his bedroom. Ross McLaren, 22, was born with a rare form of muscular dystrophy which left him wheelchair bound. He dreamed of becoming a professional Fortnite player but instead built a six-figure business at the age of 17 while living at home with his parents, Lesley and Craig. Now Ross manages a team of ten and oversees the daily operations of some of the biggest names in online gaming including megastar Fortnite players Clix and Sentinel, reports The Daily Record. He told the Record: "I really wanted to be a pro-Fortnite player but I realised I wasn't good enough. "I got into video editing for professional Fornite players and started working with small gaming streamers for free when I was in school. "By summer 2021 I was making £10,000 per month and I told my parents I didn't want to sit my Advanced Highers. "They had their doubts and asked me to go back to school - but I quit after one day." Ross explained how his disability enabled him to get into the gaming world and hone his craft. He said: "Having muscular dystrophy was somewhat of an advantage for me as it meant I spent a lot more time on a computer when I was younger as I couldn't go out and play sports like other kids." The then-schoolboy began offering his video editing services to small streamers for fun. Just as he was about to give up, Ross struck gold. "I was working with a streamer called Bugha who only had about 20,000 subscribers," he said. "Bugha played in the Fortnite World Cup in 2018 and won $3million. Overnight, his subscriber count hit one million.' Bugha– now with 4.7million YouTube subscribers – stuck with Ross, and business 'spiralled from there'. Ross then caught the eye of another famous Fornite player called Clix who had 3.5 million YouTube subscribers. Following pressure from his parents, Ross went back to George Heriot's School for one day before quitting - and landed one of the biggest opportunities of his career. He was asked to run a gaming channel fronted by UK YouTube icon KSI who boasts more than 22 million subscribers. He now works as a freelancer, and manages content for professionals like Clix and top E-Sports organisation Sentinels, based in Los Angeles. Top Fortnite streamers like Clix earn around £100,000 per month and Ross collects a lucrative commission for producing content. The young entrepreneur now has his sights on relocating to the US to be closer to his star clients. He added: "It's crazy how things have turned out. "My job didn't exist a few years ago - now business is thriving. "I hope to move to Dallas. With Fortnite, the servers are based there and many of the players are. "I'm planning on taking the leap to move to be closer to my clients."

Ross McLaren, 22, from Midlothian, Scotland, was born with a rare form of muscular dystrophy which left him wheelchair-bound - but he built a six-figure business while still in his teens A disabled teeenager has given up school after raking in £10,000 a month from his bedroom by managing some of the world's most famous online gamers. Ross McLaren, who was born with a unique form of muscular dystrophy and is wheelchair-bound, turned his passion for gaming into a lucrative career. Dreaming originally of pro-Fortnite stardom, the enterprising teenager created a six-figure business while living with his parents Lesley and Craig in Midlothian. Now 22, Ross helms a team of ten, managing the day-to-day affairs of some of the biggest names in the gaming industry, including the well-known Fortnite players Clix and Sentinel. Ross shared with the Record: "I really wanted to be a pro-Fortnite player but I realised I wasn't good enough. I got into video editing for professional Fornite players and started working with small gaming streamers for free when I was in school", reports the Daily Record. "By summer 2021 I was making £10,000 per month and I told my parents I didn't want to sit my Advanced Highers. They had their doubts and asked me to go back to school - but I quit after one day." He credits his disability as giving him a unique entrée into gaming, allowing him time to perfect his skills. He revealed: "Having muscular dystrophy was somewhat of an advantage for me as it meant I spent a lot more time on a computer when I was younger as I couldn't go out and play sports like other kids." Starting out by offering video editing services to smaller streamers, Ross eventually hit the jackpot just as he considered calling it quits. He said: "I was working with a streamer called Bugha who only had about 20,000 subscribers. Bugha played in the Fortnite World Cup in 2018 and won $3million. Overnight, his subscriber count hit one million." Since then, Bugha – now boasting a whopping 4.7 million YouTube subscribers – has remained loyal to Ross, leading to a business boom. Ross's talents didn't go unnoticed; he soon caught the attention of another Fortnite sensation, Clix, who commands an impressive 3.5 million YouTube followers. Despite initial reservations and a brief return to George Heriot's School under parental pressure, Ross quickly pivoted back to his passion, landing a game-changing opportunity. He was tapped to manage a gaming channel for none other than UK YouTube heavyweight KSI, who enjoys a staggering audience of over 22 million subscribers. Now a sought-after freelancer, Ross juggles content management for elite players like Clix and the renowned E-Sports organisation Sentinels from Los Angeles. With top Fortnite streamers like Clix raking in around £100,000 monthly, Ross earns a handsome commission for his content creation expertise. The ambitious young Scot is now eyeing a move to the US, aiming to set up shop closer to the action and his high-profile clientele. He said: "It's crazy how things have turned out. My job didn't exist a few years ago - now business is thriving." He's got his heart set on Dallas, explaining: "I hope to move to Dallas. With Fortnite, the servers are based there and many of the players are." Determined to take his career to the next level, he concluded: "I'm planning on taking the leap to move to be closer to my clients."
