Even though Fortnite Chapter 5 is far from over, leaks about the next major update are already emerging. According to a recent Twitter post from well-known Fortnite leaker HYPEX, Chapter 6 will introduce exciting new swinging and prone mechanics, along with a possible floating islands theme. The addition of swinging and prone mechanics is particularly notable, as a 2023 leak suggested that Fortnite was developing a rope-swinging feature to keep the gameplay feeling fresh and exciting. The ability to go prone, however, is a newly emerging and unexpected detail.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Launch Date Revealed

  • According to a leak, Fortnite Chapter 6 will launch on December 1, 2024.

Additionally, HYPEX's tweet mentioned the introduction of possible new Fortnite modes and support for Creative Pets in Chapter 6, which could add a whole new dimension to the game. The theme of floating islands is also a potential new feature that could drastically change the game's landscape. Furthermore, the post hinted at a release date for Chapter 6, suggesting it could officially launch on December 1st, according to information from @Jorge_Most_. If these leaks hold true, Fortnite players have a lot to look forward to in the coming months.

While discussing upcoming content for Fortnite, it's worth highlighting some features that fans might have enjoyed if they had been implemented. For instance, Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney recently revealed that Fortnite had once tested significantly larger matches for the battle royale before its release. Additionally, another leak from July revealed a canceled Die Hard skin and other early concepts that never made it into the game.
