Official Fortnite social media accounts have been posting confusing messages, making it impossible to tell when the next season will start. Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 will be coming to an end this week, so a brand-new season can start. This is always an extremely exciting time for fans of the battle royale since they're aware that soon enough they'll be able to play through an entirely new Battle Pass and explore an island with a completely different theme.Some time ago, Epic Games explained that Chapter 4 Season 1 would be ending a couple of days before what was previously announced – March 8 rather than March 10. To make up for the time they wouldn't be able to play, gamers got the Super Charged XP boost to potentially gain a few extra levels before the end of the season. Unfortunately, experience points are the only thing that matters in Fortnite, and this meant that some players would actually have to grind more than expected if they wanted to complete all available Battle Pass quests, such as the Geralt of Rivia quests, before they became inaccessible with the end of the season.RELATED: The Sky Is Opening After Rift Gate Destruction in Fortnite The Fortnite twitter account made a post with the day "3.10.2023" on it. This made fans confused since they thought they'd be able to play the new season on March 9. To follow up on this, the official Fortnite Status account quote retweeted the Fortnite account to try and clarify. It said that downtime for Chapter 4 Season 2 would start at 2 AM ET on March 10, but the last full day of Season 1 across all timezones would be March 8.

There is a lot of speculation among the community with a reasonable amount of players believing the game will go dark on March 8 and only return on March 10, similar to what happened during the black hole live event. This could explain why no final event has been announced yet. Many players were perplexed and the comments are clear proof of this. All of the tweets that the official Fortnite accounts made were unnecessarily confusing, especially since none of them mention March 9.

Cipher quests will be available until March 10, so if the game was to be inaccessible for two days it would seriously hinder players' chances of completing them. Hopefully, Epic Games will make another statement to truly clarify the dates for everyone, and players can make their own playing schedules according to how many tasks they'd like to complete in-game before the end of this Fortnite season.

Fortnite is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
