What’s new this season

Chapter 7 Season 4 turns the Island into a celebration of gaming history. The Video Games and Gaming Legends theme packs the map with crossovers — Sonic the Hedgehog’s Green Hill Zone, a Pac-Man-themed island and Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria all land during the season. New named locations Reality’s Reign and Stone Sanctum join them, the latter hiding a Temple Vault of high-tier loot. For the October stretch, Epic added Nightmare Neighborhood and brought back Freaky Fields for a Halloween flavour. As always, the loot pool, map and crossovers rotate, so expect big changes when the next season arrives at the end of October.
