Fortnite Chapter 6 is only two days away from its worldwide launch. Due to unfortunate leaks, players already have access to the gameplay and cinematic trailer nearly two days before Season 1 will arrive. Although the element of surprise is no more, the season looks promising. However, an in-game concert and a presumably lengthy downtime stand between players and the new season. Here is the countdown to Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Hunters will launch worldwide on Dec. 1. The game should enter a downtime once the Fortnite Remix: The Finale event concludes. Leaks will come to light during that period as Epic Games prepares to unleash the new season. Unfortunately, the exact timing of the new season is unclear, but barring any delays, Fortnite usually returns online at around 9 a.m. ET or so.

We expect to learn more about the release date and timing over the next 24-48 hours. Once more details emerge, check here for an updated Fortnite Chapter 6 countdown.

With the Fortnite Chapter 6 countdown covered, let's briefly touch on what you can expect in the new season. Since it's a new Chapter, there's an entirely new map for players to experience alongside a new Battle Pass, boss fights, and mechanics. Godzilla and Baymax headline the lineup of characters available in the Battle Pass. The season also features a Godzilla boss fight that will be an experience in and of itself.

Beyond those key inclusions, you can expect new weapons, returning weapons, and a mixture of old and new items when Fortnite Chapter 6 drops on Dec. 1.
