Highlights

Fortnite Chapter 6 will be released on December 1, featuring a collaboration with New Jeans and a concert within the game.
The update will introduce a swinging mechanic and the highly-anticipated first-person mode, potentially for Battle Royale.

A Fortnite leaker has revealed that the next chapter of Fortnite will be released on December 1st, which will also coincide with a new collaboration with South Korean girl group New Jeans.

The leak comes from JorgeMost, who took to X (formerly Twitter) yesterday to reveal the exclusive information. “[New Jeans] will have a CONCERT within the game, the skins will arrive on December 1, the same day that Chapter 6 will begin,” the leaker said in a recent post. This information was then circulated by ShiinaBR, who is one of the most reliable and popular leakers within the Fortnite community.

Tim Sweeney says Epic Games is making “big efforts” to improve the networking model in Unreal Engine 6.

According to Shiina, Chapter 6 is also set to introduce a new “swinging mechanic” and the highly-anticipated first-person mode. “Fortnite will get a ‘Swinging’ mechanic with the update, and First-Person will be added to UEFN around the same time, which also opens the possibility of Epic adding it to Battle Royale,” Shiina said on X.

While Chapter 6 looks set to introduce some pretty major changes to the game, it’s still some ways away. But there’s still plenty more Fortnite content to come between now and then.

Leakers such as Shiina have previously confirmed that Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, which is reportedly scheduled to be released on August 16th, will feature a new collaboration with Marvel. Leaks suggest that the whole season will be themed around Marvel, similar to Chapter 2 Season 4, which included Marvel-themed locations, skins, and much more.

The release of Chapter 5 Season 4 will also (nearly) coincide with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, which release worldwide on July 26th. While there’s no confirmation from Epic Games, leaker HypeX previously revealed that the next Fortnite season would include a new mythic weapon known as Wolverine’s Claws, as well as Dual SMGs, Anvil Launcher V2, Super Launch Pad, and Striker Burst Rifle V2.

Prior to the release of Season 4, however, there are two more content updates scheduled for release, according to Shiina. The next update will be released on July 23rd, followed by the final update of the season on August 6th.
