Fortnite developer Epic Games is gearing up to launch a new season of Battle Royale.

The new season kicks off with Fortnite Update 5pm, which will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android.

Season 17 will have a June 8 release date to coincide with a server outage period, starting at 7am for fans living in the UK.

While there is no official breakdown schedule, maintenance is expected to end around 9am. If you downloaded the 5:00 PM update, Season 17 will start at 9:00 AM.

“The primeval season – and improvised weapons – will soon be extinct. Make them while you have them,” reads an epic tweet. “The downtime for Chapter 2 Season 7 will begin at 2 a.m. ET (06:00 UTC).

“Please note that with the launch of the new season, patch sizes on all platforms will be larger than usual.”

As you can see in the update 5pm patch notes below, the new season is launching with a brand new Battle Pass complete with a host of exclusive skins, items, emotes and more.

Rumor has it that there are new skins for Rick and Morty, Loki and DC icon Superman. Then there’s the new one Pulsar 9000 energy rifle, which shoots lasers.

Elsewhere, next-gen visuals are coming to the PC version of Fortnite, while users can now cancel a shakedown midway through.
