Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, officially titled Runners, launches Saturday, June 6, following the Shattered live event and server maintenance. The update is expected to begin around 7 a.m. EDT, though Epic Games has not announced an official start time.
The new season will feature a redesigned map with fresh Points of Interest, new weapons, and updated gameplay mechanics. One of the major attractions is the new battle pass, which includes a cel-shaded cosmetic skin based on the John Wick character, marking another collaboration between Epic Games and popular intellectual properties to drive seasonal engagement.
Additionally, Chapter 7 Season 3 will reintroduce sprites, a gameplay mechanic first introduced during Chapter 6 Season 1. The return of this mechanic demonstrates Epic Games’ approach to combining familiar systems with new content to create balanced gameplay experiences.
For players planning to jump in at launch, the expected 7 a.m. EDT start time on June 6 provides a reference point, with regional time zones varying accordingly. The seasonal format remains central to Fortnite’s live-service model, with regular content updates designed to maintain player engagement.
