"Epic Games unveils 'Fortnite' Chapter 6, Season 4 title, theme, and links to 'Halo' series"
Fortnite's latest chapter, Season 4, titled "Shock 'N Awesome," is set to launch on August 7, 2025. This season, a collaboration with the Halo franchise, promises an exciting alien and bug invasion storyline[1][3].
The season introduces several UNSC Spartan skins in the Battle Pass, including female Spartans. These female Spartans are specifically from the Halo universe, five years after Master Chief was added[4]. The storyline revolves around investigating the start of an insect adversary invasion, tying into the Halo collaboration's extraterrestrial theme[1][3][4].
Players will engage in a battle against the bug invasion, and the season also hints at the inclusion of unique Halo weapons and possibly more Halo-related items in-game[1]. The release time on August 7 depends on the player's server region and location[1].
Trailers and videos have revealed more details about the season. They confirm the season's full name "Shock 'N Awesome," emphasize the alien and bug invasion motifs, and showcase the integration of Halo and other collaborations like Power Rangers in the Battle Pass[2][3][4].
Interestingly, the female Spartan skins come in two different colours, suggesting customization options. However, there are no corresponding generic male Spartan skins in Fortnite, just Chief[5].
Rumours also suggest that Microsoft may start discussing the future of Halo soon[6]. However, as of now, there are no updates about Master Chief's whereabouts after the initial Halo Infinite campaign in 2020[7].
In other news, Fortnite has added female Spartans from Halo, but characters like Joanna Dark from another Microsoft-owned game were not included[8]. Additionally, there is no content from Bethesda's Starfield release featured in Fortnite[9].
